    I wasn't even getting 5.1 on DVD, though...

    You should be able to use the digital connection for dvd's (just get a coax connector...) or you could use three stereo y-splitters for analog 5.1 (the dvd 6 chan input). I would suggest making sure your santa cruz drivers are updated and you have a modern version of WinDVD or PowerDVD. Do you have these things?

    I have whatever drivers came on the TBSC CD, and whatever version of PowerDVD that came with my Lite-On DVD drive. The TBSC has center & sub on one channel out, and it's two inputs on the receiver..which color goes to which (white to sub, red to center..or vice versa)?

    (from http://support.ap.dell.com/docs/acc/38frh/usage.htm
    Section "Channel Assignments in 6 Speaker Mode")

    Channel 5
    Center Channel
    VersaJack Line Out, tip conductor
    Channel 6
    Subwoofer Channel (LFE)
    VersaJack Line Out, ring conductor

    (and from section "External Connectors")
    Red is for right/ring
    Black is for left/tip

    And for your case, the red is the important one.
    Summary: red = sub, white = center

    You should download the latest drivers... they are worth it!
