Hi.
I'm thinking of getting Sky HD but I'm worried I wont be able to output it's sound through my Home Cinema System and would like some advice if possible as my knowledge of AV is limited.
I do not have any Sky at the moment, if that helps.
My TV is a Sony KDL-32V4000 and has the following ports:
3 x HDMI input ( 19 pin HDMI Type A )
1 x VGA input ( 15 PIN HD D-Sub (HD-15) )
Audio line-in
1 x component video input ( RCA phono x 3 )
Composite video input ( RCA phono )
1 x S-Video input ( 4 PIN mini-DIN )
Audio output ( RCA phono x 2 )
2 x SCART (RGB)
My home cinema kit is a Sony DAV -DZ260 with built in DVD player. It's ports are in the attached image.
The DAV -DZ260 connects to the TV using a HDMI cable so the sound from any DVDs I play comes through the DAV -DZ260 (sorry for stating the obvious I said my knowledge was limited).
To enable the sound from my TV to output through the DAV -DZ260 I got a cable that goes from the TV's audio ouputs to the SCART port on the DAV -DZ260, then I set the output to Home Cinema on the TV menu. OK the sound isn't super duper Dolby etc but its a hell of a lot better than the TV's internal speakers.
So, If I connect up a Sky+HD box ( I assume it connects via a single HDMI ) to this current set up what will happen to the sound?
I want to avoid a situation where the Sky+HD will only play through the TV's internal speakers and obviously would like to find out as much as I can before I finally relent and sell my soul to Sky!
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
