Hi all,
new member here!
Looking for some assistance with setting up my surround sound to my VM Tivo box.
I think I'm missing a cable of sorts, but cannot for the life of me find what I think I need.
TV - LG42LW4500
VirginMedia Tivo Box - 500GB
Surround Sound - Xenta 5.1ch Home Theatre System
(cannot find Serial or Model number, so this one:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/270929934893?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3D270929934893%26_rdc%3D1 )
Basically, I cannot seem to connect the VM system to the surround sound system.
Currently, the VM box is connected to the TV via HDMI, which is fine.
There is "digital audio out" (toslink) and "Digital Coaxial out" on the VM box, but only 6 point audio input on the Home Theatre System.
I think I messed up when buying the Surround Sound system, but does a cable exist that can connect straight from the Coaxial to the 6 point connection on the surround sound? Could I use a 3.5mm jack to connect the two?
Or do I need a converter of sorts, and if so, which one do I need and where would I find them?
Any help very much appreciated.
On the verge of just going out and buying another Home Theatre system, but don't feel like I'd want to just set fire to £80 without having to. Everything is set up other than this vital part.
Anything/Everything/Suggestions ?
Rather deflated now
