360 5.1 SS?

[21st century cowboy]

I was just wondering how do people connect their 360 to their surround sound system? Do you use the wires that come with the system or do you have to buy seperate ones? Sorry I have lost my instuction manual for my HiFi. A double sorry is this thread is in the wrong place. Thanks

Use an Optical cable.

anyone think microsoft might get round to adding 5.1 to video's streamed from a computer or played from a disc (like a HD movie downloaded from torrent which has 5.1)? the only time i can get 5.1 is on games and when watching a hd-dvd :(

You download HD movies!? Like full movies that go on HD-DVDs! Aren't they like 12GB a piece or something!
