Connecting Tata Sky HD+ , Sony LED TV KDL 46"HX750 & Sony BDV-E690 ( 5.1 Ch Home Theatre )

Hi

Recently I purchased the above 3 items from different shops and a different guy came to install every one of the items. Before the Home theatre could be installed I had to leave for Mumbai and couldn't see its installation happening in front of me.

Now tata sky was connected to the LED tv through a HDMI cable and the LED tv was connected to Blu ray home theatre through another HDMI cable. Tata sky is coming on TV very fine but its audio is not coming through HT but through the speakers of TV itself. When I play something in Blu Ray player its video and audio is coming fine though the TV and HT speakers respectively.

Since my parents don't know much about all these things they couldn't discuss much with the service guy and that guy told them some optical/composite cable is required for hearing the tata sky sound in HT.

I just want to know how all three can be connected for the best audio and video quality. Do I really need some optical cable or any other combination of HDMI cables can get the job done.

you can get TV audio from HT speakers but getting audio output from TV is not recommended(lots of technicalities but i am giving you the summary).connect your home theater directly to set top box using optical/co-axial ouput port.your HT system & HD set top box should have an optical/co-axial port in back.

So I do need a third cable either optical/coaxial. Which will be better and can you suggest me some website from where I can order. Thank you.

keep in mind that co-axial is different from optical though both are s/pdif ports.co-axial port is like usual circle shaped while optical is square shaped.if in doubt see specifications of devices.

Thank you. I will buy the optical one and everything is clear in my mind now.
