Hiya guys
I just want to make an enquiry into the "Logitech® Z-5500 Digital" 5.1 speaker system. I would like to connect these speakers to both a DVD player an Xbox 360 (when i get one).
I know I'm going to have to connect the DVD player to the Digital SoundTouch Control Center via a Digital Coaxial cable. However, I'm a little confused on how to connect the console. According to the logitech website, i would have to connect the console to the Digital SoundTouch Control Center via a Digital Optical cable.
However, I don't think this would apply to me. After visiting the logitech website again, http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,CRID=2,CONTENTID=9486, i noticed the following piece of information:
"Digital optical for DVD or CD players, PlayStation®2, Xbox®**", then further on down the page, as you will be able to see for yourselfs, logitech supply a key for the two astrix's "**". "** Requires Xbox® Advanced AV Pack or Xbox® High Definition AV Pack, sold separately". Well, if this is the case, ill already have this high definition cable from connecting the console to the back of my screen. The cable can be seen below:

As you can see there are two connections for Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound, one for right and one for left (white and red). Am i right in saying that i wont need a Digital Optical cable? And, if possible, could someone confirm that the Digital SoundTouch Control Center, supplied with the Logitech® Z-5500 Digital 5.1. surround system, does indeed feature a coaxial port and in addition, the two ports which would enable me to plug in the Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound outputs that will lead off from my xbox 360 high definition AVG AV cable.
EDIT
I just went on to the Xbox website, and found a detailed description of the Xbox 360 high definiition AVG AV cable:
"Showcase stunning Xbox 360 high-definition graphics on your PC monitor or HDTV using the VGA input. Play high-quality audio with the included Stereo connection or utilize the Optical Audio port for digital sound"
So, the two audio connections are standard stereo
man that sucks! Does anyone know how i can "utilise the Optical Port for Digital Sound?" I didn't think the 360 had an optical audio port, seems as though it has!
Any help will be appreciated...
Many thanks in advance
