Need help getting digital sound

Hi all i just got a Pioneer DCS-232 home theater set and it has dts/5.1 for its inbuilt dvd player but has no digital out socket.So is there anyway i can connect it to xbox/ps2 ect and get digital sound.
My outputs are a scart socket, video socket and red/white audio socket.

Well you can get digital sound out of a Xbox and PS2 but sounds like you have no way of connecting it to your amp. Does it how any a Optical Sp/dif or co-axial port ?

hi Talivar

unfortunatly the pioneer dcs-232 does not have any digital inputs so you can not get dolby digital sound from you ps2/xbox so you will have to use the analog inputs red/white line2 in to get sound through to your system.

When playing games select prologic 2 on your amp this will give you the best results with your setup.
