Some people use this device:

Others, like myself, use their Home Stereo System that's capable of decoding the AC3 audio.

or get a box that decodes it from the box...of course those are the HD boxes and they are a little more expensive but worth it

Of course let's not forget, your receiver needs to pass AC3 audio. Some receivers do not?

That's exactly what I use. It works great for decoding the AC3 audio on the PBS channels.

AC-3 is a term generally used in professional environments, Dolby Digital is more commonly used on consumer equipment. They are the same thing. A receiver that decodes Dolby Digital with either a coaxial or optical digital input will work.

Most, if not all AC-3 channels are 2.0 (stereo) instead of the 5.1 or 6.1 surround found on DVDs.
