I've recently bought surround sound for my x-box, and i want to get it connected up to dolby digital 5.1 surround sound, and i've bought the advanced scart lead, but now found that i have no optical receiver on the dvd player. Just wondered if there were any types of "adapters" so that i don't have to go out and buy a new surround sound system for £300

The optical plug on the back of your DVD player is most likely an "out," which means that it only lets sound out of the box, and not in. I'm not very sure what type of DVD player you have, so I can't really help you with that. But from the way I see it, you will need to buy a new receiver that has an optical "in," which is on just about every one. Another thing you can do is look around at your local electronics store or even at J&R.
