Hi All,
I'm not really a techie person when it comes to AV, so wanted some advice/reassurance. We've just bought the Philips HTL5120 Soundbar, which has great reviews at a great price, even better on Amazon Lightining Deals.
I've got to connect it too a HD TV, Sky+ HD and a Panasonic SA-BT200 Blu-Ray Home Cinema Systems (which really isn't very good for sound). I've got rid of the surround sound speakers on the Blu-Ray as they weren't really very good and wires were very messy due to layout of our room.
I've connected the following:
Sky+ HD to TV via HDMI
Panasonic Blu-Ray Player to TV (speakers removed) via HDMI
TV to Soundbar via Digital Optical Output from TV to Soundbar
Is this the best configuration? I read that maybe I should consider using a HDMI Arc from Soundbar to TV, which means buying another HDMI cable, will this make any difference? Or is the above way I've set it up correct?
Many Thanks in advance
Stuart
