Satelite Reciever to Surround Sound Reciever... HELP!

e_mott09 · 03-11-2009, 3:29 AM

I just got satellite t.v. and want to hook it up to my surround sound, but I'm a bit of a beginner and I'm not sure what to do. I want to use Coax because it looks like that is my only option for my surround to work, but I don't know what the Audio Out should look like from the satellite reciever, there is HDMI, Optical, and RCA jacks in the back and on the surround there is one jack that says Coax. Can anyone decipher what I am trying to explain? Thanks for the help.

Sounds like you have optical out on the satellite box and co-axial in on the surround sound. You'd need an optical to coa-axial converter I reckon. Mapline sell em local, or someone like cableuniverse do them very cheap.
