Confused. Need expert opinion on didgital music

Anonymous	Posted on Thursday, September 02, 2004 - 19:06 GMT Guys I need your help. I want to build a home theater system and my music source is primarily MP3....either from my laptop or my iPod. I am looking for at least 5.1 AV reciever. Now my questions are: 1. MP3 is already lo-fi. If I connect my iPod or laptop to the reciever via the headphone to RCA, will the sound quality depreciate? 2. MP3 is stereo. So I understand that only 2 channels will play out of 5.1 (or 7.1). Is there any device I can use between the iPod and the receiever which can overcome this problem? Any help will be appreciated. much thanks, Rob

A receiver capable of DTS Neo6 or Circle Surround or any other proprietary surround matrix capable receiver can do the trick. Are you using a yamaha 5706 by any chance? If you do, then you already have that capability. cheers
