There's nothing to get. Put the disc in and press play. If you only have a cd player there's no difference, if you have a uni or sacd player you get 5.1 sound. The problem lies in setting it up. I know what I'm doing, and I find it a pain in the butt. I can imagine most people just see six cables and say forget it. You don't need six cables for a DVD movie, and it can have up to 7.1 audio channels.

grrrrrrr....
