Panasonic SC-PTX7 set-up

[eracdave]

Hi Guys,

Having picked up my new home cinema kit today i am disappointed to see no connecting leads - poor show Panasonic

So with a Samsung R88 lcd and Sky HD I am looking to hook it up as follows:-

tv - sky - hdmi
panny - sky - optical lead
panny - tv - hdmi

Will this ensure optimal performance? If not what would be the best way way forward?

Thanks in advance guys!

might want to add an audio from the telly to the home cinema if you use the tv's tuners at all.

Thanks for the reply qwerty.

I had to hook the hd box to the panny by scart in addition to the optical cable to get anywhere. Not sure why but it works!

Really pleased with the 'ooommph' it gives my samsung lcd. There seems to be a delay/conflict between the sound from the tv and the panny so I have muted the tv. Although this works for me it would be good to hear from anyone who has a fix for this......

Thx!

why would you need both at the same time though..
its obvious there will be delay,as 1 is fine,and the other is processed,so thats where the delay comes in.

Hi,

I have the Panasonic SC-PTX7 and have it connected as you have stated. Don't really think you need to make anymore connections. The Sky HD programs and DVDs in Dolby Digital sound awesome.

If I connect the BD55 panasonic blu-ray player to the SC-PTX7 will it be able to play the HD sounds?

If so, what will the connections be?

No, you would only get basic DD 5.1 or DTS 5.1 with that setup, as the SC-PTX7 has no hdmi in, only out.
and the connection would have to be with optical audio lead.

Sorry if this is a little off topic.

I'm really interested in the SC-PTX7 but can't find anywhere online whether the DVD is front loading or top loading.

Also, can the speakers be placed horizontally - will the Panasonic logos rotate?

Would apprciate any help.

Thanks a lot
