I have just purchased a samsung 5.1 home cinema plus a samsung LED TV They are both anynet something compatible. I also have a digi box that does not have HD connections Can I play the sound from the TV/digi box into my surround sound 5.1. I have tried various ways to link the digi box, TV, and surround sound without success. I am a non technical person with a limited knowledge of these things but I can follow instructions Any help would be appreciated
there might be an audio socket on both units,either an optical that looks like a spring loaded door,spdif/toslink http://www.topbits.com/toslink.html http://www.ramelectronics.net/audio-cables/digital-audio-s-pdif-cables/c10000-c11000-c11002-p1.html hdmi lead from digivox to tv and audio lead to amp for 5-1 sound.
Thanks for your reply. There is a connection as described on my digi box However it does not have a HDMI socket. It has a scart socket, and my new TV has a scart to HDMI adaptor that I think goes into one of the four HDMI connections that says RGB or something on the TV!!! Do you think that if I connected the TV to digi box using it,and then the optical lead from digi box to DVD/Amplifier that would be all I need to do? Thanks Ivan
yes should do ,old starview,digivox and other boxes have a scart and an optical port so running a cable from box to amp should work.
Do you mean an toslink cable from box to 5.1 amplifier. I have bought a toslink cable but it is very loose on the connection to the point that it drops out Thanks Ivan
