    You need a dvd player with onboard decoding that has 6 channel OUT phonos to go into your 6 channel IN amp

    Correct for proper surround sound you will need this and then plug into the AC3 in or... an AV reciever with 6 channel output (but this would be far too expensive compared to the price of the speakers and you'd be better off buyting new speakers.

    Another option is a new sound card or (maybe even existing) on the PC will allow you to connect.

    Currently your speakers will be running in 5.1 stereo. That is the2 left hand speakers are playing the left side, centre is playing a mix, and the 2 right hand speakers are playing the right hand side, the sub plays the bass notes. Proper 5.1 has seperate channels for each speaker.
