Help required for New LG TV + surround set up

Phil8033 · 14-10-2008, 10:38

Hello,
Can anybody please advise me how I should wire up my new LG 50PG3000 TV, Panasonic SC-HT900 home theatre sound system, PS3 and Sky + box ????

The Panasonic does not have a HDMI port.
I want to get the best out of the system but dont really know the best set up. I have an optical cable, component leads and scarts.

Any ideas please ??

Many thanks

Panasonic -> TV - RGB scart or component (component would be my preference).

Sky+/PS3 optical -> Panasonic optical.

Sky+ -> TV - RGB scart

PS3 -> TV - HDMI

You will need a optical switchbox if you don't want to keep swapping cables for Sky+/PS3 as the Panasonic has only got one input.

Switches - 2way or 3way. Only one device can be switched on at one time when using the 2way, the 3way has a manual switch.

Hello again. I have set up the system as recommended . Everything seems to working well but when i put a disc in the PS 3 im not able to get any sound from the surround system speakers ???? Im sure its a simple solution but im struggling to be honest. Any ideas what i have done wrong.
Im using a 3 way switch splitter for the optical leads which is set correctly.

Many thanks
