I have a Samsung Smart model # PS51E6500EU which has been connected to a Philips 3D Blu-ray surround system via just a HDMI lead. I have scanned the manuals and still cannot understand how to successfully get the two working. Blu-ray works fine when playing discs but just cannot get the sound to work with TV programmes.

If the Phillips system does not support ARC then a separate lead from the TV to the Phillips is required. Ideally using the optical digital out of the TV to a digital input on the Phillips (optical can be easily converted to electrical - AKA coaxial - if necessary).
It would help to know the model of the surround system to be able to offer more specific advice.
I have attempted to use an optical cable, the red and yellow cables and nothing works. I have tried different audio sources on the DVD player, changed to external speakers on the TV and nothing.
Surround sound works with discs, the TV works independantly but cannot get them to work together. Have a picture but no sound.
I would be very grateful for any advice.

It would appear the TV uses HDMI 2 for ARC so that is the HDMI socket the Phillips system must be plugged into to make ARC work. If you do not have it plugged into HDMI 2 then swap it to that and try again.

Give that a try.
As Chris says , plug the HDMI cable into HDMI 2 on tv
My lounge at the moment has more wires than BBC studio 1
checking it the points I notice are:
* I find I have to switch the surround on slightly before the tv
*in the bluray's own menu I have the input set as TV, but obviously mine is a different model
*Just checked and 'anynet+' is found in menu/system and scroll down. Underneath screen burn protection and General.
Hope that helps in some way.
