Hey guys, hoping someone can help me out here...

I've got a g4 powerbook that I love. It's hooked up to a 17" LCD monitor. I want to use it to watch movies on my hometheater system, which is powered by a denon receiver. Now, I can hook it up to the receiver with analog cables from the headphone jack, but that won't help me have Dobly Digital or DTS. Is there some sort of device (maybe connecting through USB or firewire) that will give me an optical digital output that will pass a dolby digital signal to my system? I'm sure there must be, but I don't know where to look. Thanks for the help.
