How to connect Logitech X-540 to DVD player?

[wilem_WAR246810]

I am planning to buy a Logitech X-540, I hav a 6 channel sound card but I really wanna make the tru 5.1 surround work with my DVD player or TV too, the DVD player says it supports 5.1 output and at the back it has red and white 'FL' ,'FR' etc.

How am I gonna connect the speakers to said DVD player? wat adapter is needed? If I really can't, is Matrix really as good as real 5.1?

does it no have any digital connections?

You need a DVD player with 6 channel analog output, or speakers with digital decoding. If you have neither you won't get 5.1 surround. The X-540s can't decode digital signals and it sounds like your DVD player can't either.

the back of my DVD player has six analog RCA output, three REDS on top and three whites below that, the first three red ones goes like FL, CEN SL and the bottom goes like FR, SUB, SR.....let me guess, I hav to buy three splitters from 3.5mm to RCA?
