I have a new Samsung 8 Series TV with HDMI/Toslink out, which is to be connected directly to the Sony System in caption. The Sony System is a (dated) stand-alone 5.1 speaker system wherein a (dated) DVD or Blu-ray player or TV (or all the above) were connected directly to the speaker system without the need for a receiver. The system produced 5.1 surround sound from those devices with 5.1 output, and stereo, etc from the others.
All the connections were RCA out to RCA in, which is why I'm in need of a digital link to the 5.1 RCA inputs of the Sony (yes, the main speaker literally has 5.1 RCA jacks. The speakers still sound great, so I want to keep 'em (especially since the equipment adorns our/MY exercise room).
Please forgive my rambling, but know that I have complete faith that someone somewhere in the "tom's guide" universe has an answer to this riddle. Many, many thanks.
