Can This extract Dolby Digital and dts 5.1, 7.1 sound to stereo?

Short answer ... no. It merely strips what you would normally hear on the Left and Right audio channels and passes the signal through analog RCA cables. But to be fair, I'm not sure than anything really can. By definition, 5.1 and 7.1 are delivered over something greater than two channels. So a simple two-channel L/R signal simply isn't capable of carrying the content. There are devices that take two-channel audio as input and simulate 5.1 output, but this isn't one of them. I have such a whizbang gizmo connected to a 47" display in a small room with just two very good speakers. It's not "real" 5.1, and if you're a real audiophile type, you'll likely recognize it right away and turn up your nose. However, it does work well enough to fool you during an exceptionally well mastered Blu-Ray or a high-end video game. Suited my needs because 2 speakers were a better fit for both the room and my budget. But if you're looking to get full performance out of a 5.1 or 7.1 setup that you already own or are considering purchasing, inserting this device in the chain is probably the wrong way to go about things. You'll need to stick with HDMI throughout to create the best experience.

This unit has numerous 5.1 surround options especially DolbyTrueHD and DTS. Of course your DVD player must also have DolbyTrueHD and DTS capability. Excellent choice.

Not sure what you mean by True Dolby. In my set up my Yamaha receiver only supports 2 Toslink inputs and I needed to support 3 devices. Currently have my Xbox One, PS4 and 360 converging at this point and outputting to my receiver through a single line. My receiver recognizes all devices as having 5.1 surround. Recognizes DTS and Dolby through the switch.

I'm now running it on a Dell XPS i7 Win 7 64-bit PC and it does a good job with the Dolby Digital output to a set of Boston Acoustic PC speakers with Dolby Digital support. I haven't tried it on a normal AV receiver with DTS so don't know it that problem been connected. I'm completely happy with it for the price of the board.

If credible = lossless HD audio tracks, then YES via the BD55's 7.1 analog outs. NO via the digital coax or optical outs - you'll only get the fallback lossy DD and DTS tracks (higher bitrate than DVD, but still NOT HD) to be decoded by your Yamaha AVR. BTW, wait for the DMP-BD80 coming in March '09, as current pricing for the now discontinued BD55 is completely ridiculous...

The description indicates Dolby Digital. I have only used it for a 2 channel stereo application.

Yes you can but you won't get Dolby Digital that way you will only get surround. You need to turn the tv speaker off to get Dolby Digital pass through from your HDMI device. Under digital audio out in the sound menu with the tv speaker off choose DTS NEO 2:5.

The only out on this DAC is analog, that's why you'd use it: digital-to-analog conversion. Connect your digital sources to it to have a better conversion to analog than most receivers and embedded analog outs on most players. But it only converts PCM stereo, so if you want dolby or DTS 5.1, 7.1, and beyond, this is not your route.

Actually, in the setup menu of the BD55K you can scroll down to the audio configuration to set both DD and DTS to ouput PCM-only and downconvert to stereo. You won't have to repeat this process every time, and when at such time you upgrade your receiver you can always change these settings to output bitstream. But in the meantime Yamaha's proprietary DSP Soundfields should keep you quite "surrounded." It was quite effective as I remember :)

Hi--Yes, it converts dolby digital to analog. We've owned this about 1 month and it works great. We use it with our RCA headphones to hear the TV with the volume turned down so our grandchildren can sleep. Our HD TV only outputs dolby digital on an infrared cable and the headphones only work with analog.

Do a Google 'image' search of dolby 5.1. This will help you. Should be on the side. Can do the same search for 7.1, 9.1.

It should. Mine worked with everything I put through it, including dolby digital 5.1, dts 5.1, and pcm 2.0. Note that the input is the optical, output is coax. I think a lot of people complaining it didn't work are trying to use it backwards.

ZBOX has limitations on kinds of audio signal it can decode. However, as long as your source can recode its output, or you select Dolby Digital 5.1 as a soundtrack in disc settings, you should be fine.

Yes if it has these inputs: optical digital audio input to analog stereo output over RCA and 3.5mm mini

according to the product description "The RCA L/R output will not have sound if the incoming audio is multi-channel audio (>2CH)".So the answer depends on what your input audio signal is. it will NOT downmix 5.1 (or any >2channel) audio to stereo.

Absolutely. You'll want to select the Stereo or Direct surround modes so that the audio sounds correct.

i need to now if the panasonic sc-tp760 recive the dts sound format via optical output
