  • Answer:

    does your tv have audio output? if yes, analog or digital? Did you select the correct input in the 5.1 system? Read the manual.

I think you are bit confused about 5.1 surround system. 5.1 surround sound must come from your external speakers thru the surround processor/amplifier (not from TV). TVs normally don’t have optical or coaxial audio outputs. We must get the RCA audio (red/white) output from TV and connect (input) to the 5.1 surround processor (or amplifier). Then its the function of surround processor (or amplifier) to make the stereo (2 channel) to surround (5.1 channels) and output to speakers. Please let me know if this answers your query. Don’t hesitate to come back if you have any doubts.
