You have three options.

1. Optical cable.

2. HDMI cable.

3. Use the 5.1 and 7.1 analog audio connections. (You will need a Receiver that will support this.)

I should have asked which receiver to use, I dont want to spend a great deal and a 5 channel system is as far as i would go,I don't know which output i should use for this.

What sort of budget did you have in mind?

I dont have a problem with cost (within reason) I usually try to find the minimum cost and go from there, My Dune Max has Optical and Digital outputs but a Kenwood av amp I have had for years doesn't have such inputs,I came across a second hand Pioneer surround system but it included a dvd player to provide the sound and didn't have an input that my Dune could use other than L and R stereo.
