The surround sound works if i play a dvd but not when i watch tele. It is a lg tv & surround sound unit connected by hdmi cable.

Answer 1

You just have to run some RCA sound cables from the TV to the receiver and it will work fine.

Answer 2

Jazzman's right, but before anything check your owner's manual for the tv to see what audio outputs it has, then check your receiver's owner's manual for what type of inputs it has. What you want is to use the best audio out from your tv to the stereo. 1st is fiber optic audio, if they both have it (tv out, stereo in) then that would be the best sound, 2nd is coax audio same as fiber optic different cable. 3rd would be rca cables, they'll work fine on a budget, but the first two will offer the best sound.

Edit: Don't forget, you'll ned to turn on the line-out on your tv, usually in the audio setup area, this will enable signal to be sent from the tv to your stereo!

Hi i have just asked my husband has we have this.

You need jack plugs ( red, yellow and white) and put into audio.

You can get these in currys.

Hope this helps you.

LG LCD or plasma?  Just curious because we need to know the connections on the back of the TV.  I'll assume it's flat-panel.

As already mentioned, use the standard Red/White RCA audio cables from the "Audio Output" jacks on the back panel and plug those into your Auxilliary Input jacks on your home theater system (or, if it's an A/V receiver, plug them into the TV input for easy selection).

If you have a cable or satellite box, you can use fiber ptic to connect to the sound system to get Dolby Digital surround sound when/where it's broadcast.

Sports and movies are usually in DD especially if it's an HD station.
