I've just purchased my Samsung 50" Slim Depth DLP TV - HL-T5076S and a Samsung Single Disk Home Theater Surround Sound System - HT-X40T. Also, I use an HD cable box.
My question is, can I have Surround Sound when watching cable tv & the DVD player? If so, what cables will I need and how do I hook this up?
I'm a beginner when it comes to this type of stuff - thanks for your help. |

Follow the Samsung surround system owner's manual for the hookup regarding the TV and speakers, etc. You should hear sound when you play a DVD.
You then need to connect the cable box's digital audio out into the sound system's optical input. You'll need to get an optical cable for this. If the cable box has a coax digital out then you'll need a converter for coax®optical. Got it so far?

Thanks I got it so far. I will buy an optical cable tomorrow and try this. Will setting it up this way eliminate the sound comming out of my TV speakers? - or do I turn the sound off in the TV setup?
Thanks - like I said I'm a beginner |

Before you come home with an optical cable in hand, make sure you know what type of digital audio output is on your cable box. If that output jack looks like a single round RCA jack, then your life just got a little more complicated. This is because I don't believe the Sammy surround receiver has the same type of input.....

The cable box & Samsung receiver both have same digital audio output/input. I placed an order online for the correct cable (cheaper), which I should receive later this week. Thanks for your help John. |
