What's the best way to connect a home theater system?

How to connect audio from a tv to Panasonic SCBTT268 home theater system.?

  • I'm buying a home theater system as a gift for a family member. I can get a really good deal on a Panasonic SCBTT268 system but i'm not sure how to run the tv's audio through the surround sound. The tv is a few year old Sony DLP 1080p. He has dish network with the hd receiver, but the home theater system doesn't have hdmi inputs (I don't think). A later model of the system does have inputs but it is much more expensive. This is the link to the model that is currently relpacing the one I am wanting to buy and it has minimal differences (just the radio i think) http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-electronics/shop/Audio/Home-Theater-Solutions/model.SC-BTT270.O_11002_7000000000000005702#tabsection. I see that the system has the nice ARC (Audio Return Channel) feature, but i'm almost positive this tv that was bought in 2007 doesn't have it. I believe its a feature released with hdmi 1.4 which was 2009. If anyone has an idea of how to get all sound from the tv to play through the surround system, I love to figure it out. Thanks in advance, Andrew

Those home theater in a box are not very flexible for adding or upgrading. Your tv only provides an optical audio output. Check and see if your system has an optical audio input. If it has then connect one end of the optical audio cable from the tv and the other end to the sound system. Keep in mind that not all tv program have the surround sound. Only those tv program with the Dolby Digital logo will have surround sound. HDMI cable with the 1.4 is mainly for the 3D. Hope this will help you out.
