I need help!!

Hi, I'm new to this site but everyone seems quite helpful.

I have an older HD TV, and recently got Sky + HD. I have been using the box with a Scart cable hooked up to the TV.

I bought an HDMI to DVI lead ( as I was told I would get a better picture ) and this did give me a better picture. No sound though. I'm guessing I need another lead to give me the sound.

I have a Goodmans TV ( This one: http://www.goodmans.co.uk/content/ug...language=en-GB ). Can anyone advise what lead or what kind of lead I would need to get?

Many thanks

Re: I need help!!

Page 5 of the manual you link to says to use the lead that was supplied with the TV, from the picture it looks like a stereo phono to 3.5mm lead.....presumably you don't have the lead that came with the TV?

Looks like this:-

Hama 2 Phono Plug - 3.5mm Stereo Plug 2mtr: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo

But hopefully someone else will come along and confirm!

Thanks Donkey, if that's what I would need, that would be great.

If anyone else could confirm as well, that would be brilliant.

I don't have Sky myself, so do check that you have the appropriate phono audio outputs on the back of the Sky box. The connection we're talking about would give you stereo sound through your TV.

Hope this helps!
