Can anyone offer suggestions to configure the kit below for best audio and visual?. For example which is the best Scart config and the best audio config. I have one optical cable, I understand that the Sky+ box has an optical output.


Sky+ Digital box ( should be installed this Sunday)

Sony HT-K215 Home Theatre System
(2 Optical sockets-DVD and Aux, TV audio output sockets, Video audio output sockets, 5.1CH/SAT sockets 6, Sony proprietary speaker connectors 5 plus woofer output socket)

Sony KV-28WSU Television
(2 Scarts, Audio Sockets, Aerial Socket)

Sony DVP-S725D DVD Player
(2 Scarts, digital out-Optical and Coaxial, Video out, S Video out, Component Video out-3 sockets, Audio out sockets, 5.1 CH output 6 sockets)

JVC HR-J610EK Video player
(2 Scarts 1 in and 1 in/out, RF out, Ant in, Audio out)

Thanks
David

Connect the HTK-215 with an optical toslink (square to square) cable from the sky+ to the AUX input on the HTK-215.
Connect your sky+ with a scart to ur vcr, and your vcr to your tv with a scart also.
Connect your DVD player with an S-video from the dvd player to a scart on the tv, using an s-video to scart cable.
Connect your DVD player with an optical toslink cable (square to square) from the dvd player to the dvd input on the HTK-215.
If u ever need to free up an optical socket on your amp use your dvd players built in 5.1 decoder by connecting the 5.1 outputs to your 5.1ch inputs on the HTK-215.
Also if you would like your VCR's sound to come through the HTK-215 use the left and right audio outs and put them into the VIDEO input on the amp.

Remember! To enjoy 5.1 DD sound from sky+ u need 2 press services, press 4, press 2, scroll to optical output and select DOLBY D.
