Please can anyone help

I have a Panasonic TX-32LXD TV, a Panasonic DMR-EX75 Dvd Recorder and a Sky+ Box all connected like this :- the sky+ is connected via a scart lead to the Tv (av1) and to the Dvd Recorder via scart which in turn is connected to the TV via HDMI, all work fine, I can copy from sky to the Dvd ok, my problem is that I have been given a Panasonic SC-PT470 Dvd Home Theater (early christmas present). How do I connect it so that I can play my sky+ through it and still be able to copy from sky+ to Dvd Recorder. Hope this makes sense as I'm not very good at this technical stuff.

I would leave your equipment as it is for recordings and playback from the DVD Recorder. You will be able to get DD5.1 from movies, sports, US shows, BBC HD and selected programming on Sky+ (indicated by DD flag on info bar) by connecting an optical cable to the SC-PT470. Change the optical output setting in the sound settings on the Sky+ box to 'DOLBY D'. Then select this input on the remote (I think it's D-IN).
