How to get digital surround sound from TV? (1 Viewer)

[Mukesh Singh]

I am having
1- Sony Bravia BX32 TV,
2- Philips HTS5520 home theater system and
3- a normal set top box provided by local cable provider(DEN)(which has Loop out, Cable In, and Audio Video out(Yellow, Red, White) points at the back).
How do I get digital surround sound from the TV programs?
Please Help.

The Bravia only has a digital coax input for surround sound, so you'll need a signal in that format. I'm not sure what "Loop out" is (a model# or picture would probably help); but otherwise your set top box looks like it doesn't have a coax output. The best case situation is that you can ask your cable company to give you a box with coax out and HDMI out. Then you'd connect the audio to the recevier and the HDMI to the TV.

Mukesh - I was able to find some manuals for your components and answer your question here:
