Jools,

I have a similar set up. Also have a DAV SC5, and with that I have at present a Sky+ box, Wii, and iPod connected, and all going to the TV (Panasonic 32LXD85).

I am about to replace the Sky+ with Sky HD, so will be using the optical cable.
At present, I send everything into the DAV SC5 first:

Sky + via scart
Ipod via the red/white/yellow cable (sorry don't know it's real name)
Wii via the red/white/yellow again

Then, I have one scart out from the DAV to the TV.

This means all the sound is played through the DAV, so you always have to turn it on, but you select the source using the Function button on the remote:

TV for TV
Video 1 for ipod
Video 2 for Wii
DVD for DVD

I then just turn the sound down on the TV. By doing it this way, if anything on Sky is on DD, I get the correct sound, but everything plays through the 5.1 speakers, even if it's not true 5.1 sound.

I am just about to get HD tomorrow, so I guess I'll have to change it slightly, and run the HDMI straight from HD to TV , and then use the digital optical out of the HD to the DAV. My only question to anyone who might know, is what function do I use to hear the sound from Optical In on the DAV?
