Depends - if the TV you have can pass through digital audio you should be able to connect the TV to the cinema system. Some TVs only pass through 2 channel audio, so you need to know for certain what it can / cannot do. HTH

in the manual it says "This jack provides Digital Audio Output for your audio device that is RAW and PCM compatible"

so its better to connect to the tv than to the pc sound card???
