The optical output needs to go to an optical input of a dolby digital decoder.

The output on your Hi-Fi is for recording to Minidisc. It can't be reversed into an input. Get a Dolby Digital Decoder. About £300
*You connected it and got Dolby Digital? You sure it wasn't just Pro-Logic or just stereo sound?

The reason why ur dvd is working is probably because your DVD player has a dolby digital decoder built in.
Only way of connecting ur PS2 up is via phono which wont give you surround.

What you can do.
Connect PS2 to stereo using phono lead - decent sound.
Connect PS2 to DVD player assuming it has correct inputs for slightly better stereo sound.
Connect PS2 using optical digital lead directly to Dolby Digital Decoder for awesome sound.

Dolby Digital doesn't feature on many - if any games - so there's no point, just go for Pro Logic, all games have that or at least stereo.
