No out-put jack? Try a cable splitted from the settop out-put. Run one to your stereo, and one to the TV. It's interesting that GI didn't build in a jack. AC-3 decoder chips..........................

Seven of these ICs downmix the Dolby Digital 5.1 channel bitstream and output a two-channel Dolby Surround encoded stereo signal. These will be used in DVD players, cable and satellite TV set-top boxes, and similar kinds of products. The remaining 18 provide a full 5.1 channel output for use in Dolby Digital decoders of all types, including A/V receivers and processors.

Dolby Digital decoder IC makers include Analog Devices (1 chip), C-Cube (4 ), Crystal (2), ESS Tech (1), Fujitsu (2), LSI Logic (1), Luxsonor (1), Matsushita (1), Mitsubishi (1), Motorola (2), Nippon Steel (1), SGS Thomson (1), Yamaha (2), and Zoran (5).

If a manufacturer is looking for a Dolby Digital decoder software solution, there are currently five available, one each from IBM, Intel, Mediamatics, Sigma Designs, and Zoran/Compcore that have been evaluated and approved by Dolby Laboratories. These implementations will be incoporated in PC-based products.
