Following the recent death of my 50" plasma I have purchased an LED backlit TV .

I want to connect the whole set up so that the normal tv sound comes out of the 5.1 dvd system, and my xbox sound ideally....is this possible?

What I have:

- LED TV
- 5.1 DVD surround sound system
- Xbox 360
- Sky HD
- Component cable
- HDMI cable
- Scart leads and normal aerial leads etc

What do I connect to what to get ALL sound (not that bothered about xbox sound - just sky and DVD) out of the 5.1 speakers??

Thanks

linking all to aux input through selector is the simpliest way, i think. MY08 TDV8 HSE
Buckingham Blue / Ebony / Lined oak / 19" Factory / Sunroof / Roof rail / Ipod Dock

May I send my sincere condolences on your recent loss.  2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

what make/model number is the 5.1 system ?

This is Kaines area of expertise IIRC - might be worth a PM

HDMI to SKY HD for picture
optical out of the SKY HD to the 5.1 Amp

XBOX to Second component/HDMI lead on TV
Component lead from XBOX to 5.1 AMP for sound

Select input source on the 5.1 amp for what your viewing

Brands & Models for each of the TV and 5.1 Amp might help further too

and contact Kaine

Cheers Nick!

I hope that works as i ain't got a Sky HD or an XBox and just guessed using my Sky+ and Wii as a guide to how i have it set up

Intec HDMI 5-Input, maybe? (sorry....i'm a selector fan... )

Johnny - should be straight forward - just need to know the make/model of each bit really to confirm optical/digital cables etc for sound.

Cheers Kaine,

the TV is this http://www.comet.co.uk/shopcomet/product/5...B6000VWXXU

the surround sound system is not a brilliant one, in fact I want a new one....any suggestions, not silly money, circa £500...

£1,127 @ pricerunner

Not that you wanted to know that now

Nice TV, my brother has the 40" one

He also has swapped his Sony Surround sound system (the one with tiny cube speakers) to a Denon AVR-1910 A/V Reciever (IIRC about £250) and KEF KHT2005.3 Speaker(IIRC £700) both of these came very well off in What HI-FI awards

Quite a bit over your suggested budget, but it sounds superb for a £250 amp, better than my Bros in Laws £5K Bose IMO

My brother was impatient and didn't let Kaine answer a PM i sent him , but i believe he can get these also, or recommend something cheaper on the speakers to put you on till you can sneak a set past the wife
