I would like to hook my DVD players audio to my surround sound using the orange digital plug.?

Question

The only problem is that on both the reciever and dvd player they say out. Will it still work?

Answer 1

Not if they really are "out".  

But if the amp has an "out" it should also have an "in". If not, and it has an optical "in" you can buy a coax (orange) to optical converter (See link). If no coax or optical you are stuck with stereo (I'm assuming HDMI is not available either!). Sorry.
