5.1 or DTS are often output through 'specific' sockets.
Check that.
DTS will beat 5.1 hands down for audio .. I have made a few DTS CD discs.
However, it is not much better that 5.1 for Home Cinema use.

The VideoLogic DigiTheatre supports normal DTS, but not the newer high definition DTS-HD Master audio which is what I would imagine your Blu-ray player is outputting.

If the speakers have normal wire on the ends you may be able to use them with something like the Onkyo TX-SR308 amplifier which supports high definition audio.
