Yes, NEO:6 will work with digital or analog inputs, but the signal needs to be two-channel (analog or digital PCM) for NEO:6 to work. The manual may be a little misleading there (they say "mode can produce the rear surround information from a 5.1 source" -- but what they mean is that it can automatically create rear surround information, but the "5.1 source" has to be the 5.1 source that NEO:6 created from the two-channel input). Try this quote from DTS Online :

Quote:
DTS Neo:6 is an advanced matrix decoder. It will take any two-channel source and expand it into five or six channels, depending on the user’s speaker layout. Two-channel sources include VHS tapes, broadcast televi-sion, stereo CDs and DVDs. DTS Neo:6 provides separate, optimized modes for stereo music materials and matrix surround motion picture soundtracks. DTS Neo:6 also decodes a center-surround channel from Extended Surround matrix soundtracks.


NEO:6 will not work with Dolby 2.0 audio (which is what you'll get from your DVD player, digital cable box, or satellite box when they are connected via a digital cable). 5/7 Stereo is the same way. (Just tried both using my digital cable box to confirm it.)
