Hi All,

I have just ordered a new TV due for delivery on Friday but I am unsure of best way to connect

TV has 4 HDMI and one optic out

I need to connect it to

Dvd/Surround sound which has optical connection
Sky + box
Android box


What would be the best way to connect these please??


Cheers


Stephen

You don't give enough information - does the DVD/Surround have HDMI-ARC or not?.

If it does, then TV HDMI-ARC to Surround sound, and the other two HDMI's to TV.

Otherwise, optical to TV, and another HDMI from DVD/Surround to TV.

Hi,

Thanks for reply, I don't think it does as it is quite old Sony dav dz260

So I will need to go from surround sound optical to TV, and another HDMI from DVD/Surround to TV yes??


Cheers


Stephen

Yes - basically - although the optical is for sound from TV to surround, and the HDMI is picture from DVD to TV. If you had HDMI-ARC it does both ways through the same HDMI lead.

I get it....I think lol

Thanks a lot for your help Nigel

Cheers

Don't forget an aerial connection for those Freeview channels not on satellite.

You're assuming he can get Freeview, or indeed that he wants to? - but in the case of either, it's not relevant to his original question.
