Help - Toshiba HDMI Player, Connection Advise

Hi,

I have a Samsung LCD TV - LA 26R51B which has an HDMI Connection. A Toshiba DVD Player - SD 350E (HDMI DVD Player) and a Panasonic Home Theater (All in One)- SC HT75 Which has S video out and Analogue Audio out connection only.

Recently I bought an HDMI Cable (Monster Cable) and Analogue Audio Cable (Monster Cable)

I would like hook up the Toshiba DVD Player to my Samsung LCD TV with the HDMI Cable and would also like to use my old Panasonic (All in One) for its 5 speakers + Woofer (for its Audio output)

I would like to know what is the best way to do this. Please Help!!

Your DVD player will output sound simultaneously from the HDMI connector and the digital coaxial output. Assuming that your surround system can accept the digital co-ax, you can just connect them both up.

If your surround system doesn't have a co-ax in facility, I don't think there's much you can do, unless you take audio out from the dvd player or TV into your surround system, but that'll be dolby prologic only.

Question

Hi,

Many Thanks for your inputs.... I hooked up the DVD player to my LCD TV with the HDMI cable and since my surround system does not have a digital co- ax in... used the Analogue Audio out from the DVD into the Surround System...

And you are correct... I can get on Dolby Prologic output.... Can you pls explain me why if I take the Audio out from DVD Player into the Surround System I get only Dolby Prologic output?
