Sound though speakers on normal digital tv?

Question

I have a LG sound system (HT502TH) and LG tv (32LB9D)

I've got the optical cable plugged in to both and a yellow rca cable for the picture. I get sound when i play dvds but not on normal tv. I do have it set to aux opt on the dvd but it doesnt seem to make a diff. Is there a setting on my tv i have to change so i can hear it though my surround sound speakers?

Thanks I need all the hlp I can get! lol

Answer 1

the tv audio needs to be connected directly to sound system in 'tv in' .
