I'll start things off: I'm going to be completing my audio setup with a set of surround speakers. I've been 3.1 for a couple years after my set of surrounds disappeared (courtesy of my brother). I'm looking at the Polk M10 series bookshelves, although I'd like to go smaller. I already have good Polk towers, center, and sub...I just need something to complete the 5.1.

Also...I'm a bit confused with all the new audio formats (DTS HD, DD+, TrueHD, etc.). I know I can't actually use these because I have an older receiver, it doesn't even have component inputs. It does have digital optical and coaxial audio inputs though.
Right now I have my HDDVD player and PS3 hooked up via HDMI directly to my television. My TV has both the regular "audio out" as well as a "digital (coax) audio out." If I connect my television to my receiver with the digital coaxial cable, will I be able to listen to dolby digital sound? Or will it only be a 2ch output to my speakers? I guess the only other alternative is to hook up my HD/BD players audio directly to my receiver via optical.

Dudes, help me out here.

If you get the right reciever you can connect everything to the reciever and then only one cable to your TV.

Cables even at monoprice add up really quick.
