How do you connect HD TV, SKY HD, Surround sound and PS3?
Evening...
I was wondering if anyone could advise me on how to connect my HD TV, SKY HD, Surround sound and PS3 so that I get the optimum out of all of them? Thanks. |

I think I might need to be more specific. I have a sony HD tv with three HDMI ports, a sony surround sound with hdmi, optical and coaxial digital output, a sky hd box and ps 3 with one hdmi and optical output.

Erm, can anyone help? My TV is a sony KDL 40w4000, my surround sound is a DAV DZ260 and I have Sky HD and a Sony PS3. I don't seem to be able to connect them all so that i get surround sound from all of them. Can anyone tell me how to wire them up so I get the optimum out of them?

how many hdmi ports and optical ports has the surround got on it?
if its only one of each then you will only be able to connect one thing at a time, i think and dont quote me on this that for optimal sound its best to connect through an optical lead, even though on my amp at the minute im just connecting through hdmi. and if your surround has only one hdmi you might be able to get a hdmi splitter if theres such a thing. There will be others on here that know a lot more than i do about them sort of things. ALL i know is that you need to have the tv and the ps3 running through the surround and the out lead going into your tv. |

Your problem is that your DAV only has one optical input and you have two sources that you want to connect via optical outputs (Sky and PS3) So you have two options either an optical to coaxial converter - eg this or an optical switcher eg this. Unless you feel you might to use both SkyHD and the PS3 at the same (or are too lazy to turn a switch ) I'd go for the switch.You will then have to ensure that PS3 is set to output surround sound via optical (not HDMI) and Sky's Digital Audio Output is set to Dolby D (you might need to play with the delay - 100ms works for me.) |
