optical cables
Do I need to have separate digital optical cables to connect from my tv to dvd/surround sound, sky box, xbox?
my dvd surround sound is all one but i was wanting to connect everything up to my surround sound especially my xbox but would I have to keep switching the cables between my xbox and say sky?. I thought if i connected one digital optical cable from my dvd/surround sound to the tv then everything would come through the surround sound, is this true?
Thanks
If your TV has a digital optical output port, you can connect it to the DVD player/ surround sound and everything will come out surround sound. If not, then you need to hook each individual component (xbox, cable box, ect) to the DVD player and then you will be able to use them with surround sound. If your TV doesn't have optical audio out, then you can try using the audio out port with standard Rca Cables connecting it to the DVD player. If the TV doesn't have any kind of audio output or each item you want to connect to the surround sound doesn't have optical audio out, then try connecting the xbox/ sky box to the DVD player using the standard RCA cables and it should work.
