Inland Pro Sound
How do I connect my Home Theater with HDMI output through my satellite and to my TV.?
Question:
I want to be able to watch my HDTV with my home theater's surround sound. But I use a satellite dish which HAS an HDMI output but it's hooked to my TV. The home theater has HDMI audio/video output upconverter for HD quality. But I don't know how to hook everything up so that I can watch TV with this audio quality 'cause it's pretty much made for DVD play.
Answer: On the back of your satellite box should be an optical audio output. Take an optical audio cable (also called TOSLINK - same thing) and connect that to one of the inputs on your home theater. You'll get audio from both the TV and and theater system at the same time, so you can choose which one to use.
If the satellite box doesn't have optical audio, or your theater doesn't have a spare optical audio input, you can use a set of red/white RCA cables instead (ignore the yellow one - not needed.) This will only get you stereo sound, but most TV shows are only in stereo anyways so you aren't missing anything.
If your theater system doesn't have ANY inputs, throw it out and buy a real home theater receiver, and a separate DVD player. Those crummy "home theater in a box" kits are only good if you never intend to do anything but play DVDs. Their lack of additional audio inputs make them nearly useless.
