Aria 320Gb Media Centre Sound Query

[petedk42]

I'm thinking of getting one of the above, but can someone tell me about its sound outputs?
Is it stereo only or does it have 5.1/optical out etc etc?
I've been waiting for a reply from the Aria website for over a week but so far nothing.
Cheers.

Thanks for the quick reply and the information. This little box of tricks looks great and I'm going to get one. Just a bit disappointed I won't be able to take advantage of all the DiVX files I have with 5.1 soundtracks. But I've still got my DVD players to play those files so I don't know what I moaning about!
Thanks again.
