Although I used* the SPDIF output of my SP-13000 to get surround I am 
sure there is a setting to make the three 3.5 mm stereo plugs carry the 
5.1 sound. I am not sure that is the output you are looking for (as you 
don't specify the number of phono connectors) but my guess is that 3x 
stereo to dual RCA might be what you need. Check the MII-10000 manual 
for the jumper setting and also check what channel goes where on the 
surround system (I think the setup of the Epia is L/R front, L/R back 
and Center/Subwoofer spread across the three Speaker, Mic, Line connectors).

*I currently use just the stereo connection as I am remodeling the 
entire setup (moved to MythDora 4.0 from EpiOS) and took the easy way to 
get sound.
