Surround Sound

[mitsy26]

Hi ive been given a sony dvd player and surround sound. I've set it up and its working great but i just wondered if there was a way i could play my sky and amazon firestick throught the surround sound. Thanks in advance

You will need to give the model number of the DVD player Mitsy. I am off to bed now but with those details someone can no doubt give you an answer. It depends on the audio out and in facility that it has.

Your Sky box and your Amazon Firestick are, obviously, connected to your TV. You can't connect either of those devices directly to your home theatre system but you can connect your TV's sound output to it, achieving the desired result.

Exactly how you do that though will depend on what type of sound outputs are available on your TV set. If you've got red and white phono output sockets available, you can connect them directly (using a cheap lead, available from many 'discount' stores). Similarly, if you've got a standard 3.5mm headphone jack on your TV you can use that. (Poundland can sell you a lead).

Thanks for the help. Especially the manual as i didnt have it with the system. Will go shopping to get a lead and hopefully happy days ☺

Haha Miysy, I have just logged in and had a quick look at your post. I was off to bed as you asked your question and am glad that you have been sorted. Just a tip. It may entail accessing the sound menu on your tv after the leads are done, and you may have to have the dvd on when using surround sound on periphery equipment.

Hi all i got the red and white cables but theres just noise coming from the tv. Do i need a yellow cable to connect the tv to the dvd. The dvd is playing on the tv via the scart i take it but its saying in the manual about a yellow lead.

Its showing on the manual a yellow cable for the video but on the back of mine theres no yellow port
