How to get DTS or Dolby sound out of my TV ??


Ive got one of those Dvd/Stereo Combo systems with Speakers
connection. 5.1 the system supports DTS and Dolby.


I dont want to buy another set of speakers so i want to runt he TV
though the same speakers and my Combo system.

How would i go about doing this. The Tv has many Audio inputs and
video outputs. Would it be as simple as connecting a cable from audio
out on the Tv to one of the Audio ins on the Stereo. And if i did that
when ever i turn the Tv on would the sound come ot automaticly on the
Stereo and the speakers. And i could control the volume via the
volume controls via the stereo. And maybe some of the 5.1 preset sound
options Surround Sound ect.

Thanks for any help.

/pS getting the TV tommorow and just would liek to know these things.
Dont mnd getting another set of speaker sfor the TV but if i dont need
them. Will stop the Clutter of speakers everywhere :)

Thanks.

For Dolby ProLogic, you need to connect two analog cables, for the
left and right channels. For DTS or Dolby Digital, you need
a digital tuner (in TV, cable box, or satellite receiver) and
to connect a digital optical or coaxial output to a corresponding
input on your receiver or DVD player. (I don't think you'll
ever get any DTS with TV, though, only Dolby Digital.)

Maybe. My HT receiver is connected to my cable box by both analog
and digital audio cables, the receiver senses whether there is
a signal on its digital input, and if so, automatically switches
to digital mode.

Presumably.

Yes, if you can play DD 5.1 at all.
