Setting up a Yamaha YSP 600 soundbard, which leads etc??

[admin_exported]

Just purchased one of these yamaha soundbars as haven't got the room for a proper surround system.

I currently have a panasonic plasma with 2 hdmi leads running from it, one to the sky hd box, the other to the blu ray player.

what is the best way to connect the soundbar, is it optical to the tv or is there a better way?

thanks

Hi Ferris I have the 30D model and this is my setup

HDMI Lead connected from Out on YSP30D into HDMI 1 input on TV that shows up as AV1 on my TV screen display.

My Blu Ray HDMI lead from Out into DVD input on YSP30D (you could use Aux 1, instead as stated in Manual)

Sky HD Box - HDMI lead from Output into HDMI 2 on TV that shows up as AV2 on my TV screen display.

Optical lead from Sky HD Box into TV/STB on YSP30D this will give you the surround sound through the soundbar.

I also have a Monster scart lead from the Sky Box into the TV for SD Picture option (my choice), and phono leads from BluRay player into the soundbar when I was experimenting with using it as a CD player. I have recently added a docking station for the plethora of ipods which has its own dedicated lead and Aux input. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
