Hi,
ild like to ask you a similar question. Just purchased a Samsung LCD TV 40'' 650 and a Panasonic Home Cinema combo (SC-BT100). although the home cinema system works perfectly I cannot ouput sound from the TV to the home cinema. TV and home cinema are hooked up via a HDMI 1.3 clable (hence they're Anynet+ visible and interworking) and I've also hooked them up with an optical cable for outputing (hopefully) sound from the TV. everything (?) I've tried does now work. can you help me as to what to double check on the TV? (cutting of TV speakers in favor or expernal speakers? any menu on setting the optical ouput? anything home system wise? - Thanks in advance

Also you have to change the settings on the PS3 so that it outputs audio over optical instead of HDMI.
PS - You can't go thru the TV for 5.1 audio from PS3 (HDMI to TV then optical to surround), as your TV will not pass 5.1 from externally connected devices thru it (very few tv's do). You need a direct connection to the surround (via the switch) for 5.1. |
