Hi, Im an absolute novice when it comes to home cinema but Ive recently bought a Sony 810 AV Amp

Ive managed to connect the Xbox & DVD Player up to it & all seems well.

Problem is, how do I connect it up so that I can watch TV with surround sound?

My TV is a Sony KDL 32V4000

Regards

Neil

Hi, is the TV the source of picture or is there a SKY box or SKY HD box or Digital box or is it just the aerial into the TV?

If its a digi box it may have a Coax PORT ON THE BACK, THEY ARE USUALLY ORANGE COLOURED on the indide. Same if its the SKY box and if its SKY HD box then it will have a coax and an Optical PORT. the OPTICAL PORT USUALLY IS ILLUMINATED RED AT THE BACK OF THE SKY BOX.

The Link gives you set up ideas not just for Dolby Digital BUT OTHER Dolby sound codecs.

If it's just the TV, this may have the coax or the Optical connections, IF NOT USE THE RED & WHITE AUDIO CONNECTIONS ON THE BACK OF THE TV.

With SKY BOX

TV---TO---->AMP OUT HDMI PORT-----SKY HDMI--TO--->AMP HDMI IN

SETTING UP AUDIO TO AMP.

SKY OPTICAL CABLE--TO--AMP OPTICAL CABLE IN ON AMP. OR

SKY COAX CABLE --TO--CAOX CABLE IN ON AMP. OR

TV RED & WHITE AUDIO CONNECTIONS TO AMP RED & WHITE AUDIO CONNECTIONS IN ON AMP

REMEMBER IF YOU DO USE THE OPTICAL OR THE COAX YOU MAY NEED TO CHANGE THE INPUT OF THE AUDIO. IM NOT SURE ABOUT YOUR MODEL BUT SOMEWHERE IN YOUR MANUAL OR ON SCREEN IT MAY HAVE INPUT/OUPUT ADUIO. IF YOU HAVE DOUBTS THE PLACE YOU BOUGHT IT OR EVEN SONY ARE USUALLY MORE THAN HAPPY TO TALK YOU THROUGH OVER THE PHONE. HOPE ITS HELPED. I LEARNT FROM THE LINK, ITS A FEW YEARS ON NOW BUT NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED. GOOD LUCK
