    Hello, i have a little problem with DTS audio. I have a philips hts3357 i can't seem to get the audio working. I want to know if i can connect a Digital Fiber Optical (Toslink) to Digital Coaxial (S/PDIF) Converter from the WD HD TV Mediaplayer to the Home cinema , and get the DTS sound.

    You don't get DTS from tv channels............only dolby digital, and then, it's only certain channels, premium movie channels (HBO, STARZ, etc.), HD channels, and some PPV channels.

    You should be able to use the converter, and get DD if you have those channels. The audio output of the TV Mediaplayer should be set to output digital or Dolby Digital.

    I playing movies (HD) from the WD HD TV Mediaplayer (has toslink), the audio files are in DTS but my LCD doesn't decode DTS, so if i connect the Mediaplayer (Toslink) to the Philips hts3357 (spdif coaxial), will the home cinema decode the signal? they are both digital signals, just diferent types of transmission, the problem is will the converter convert properly... can you recomend me the best one?


    thankyou

    I have no idea.
    I've never heard of a WD HD TV Mediaplayer. Is it a dvd player? DVDs are the only way I've ever seen to get DTS.
