Hey guys.. bit of a surround sound newbie here, just looking for some advice on my setup at home!
I am currently running a Samsung 37" HDTV with 3 HDMI ports and a digital audio out ( optical ) port.
My 5.1 speakers are connected into my Samsung HT-THX22 DVD Home Cinema System, which has an HDMI output, component output and an AUX audio input.
On top of this I have a Virgin Media V+HD Box with SPDIF port and HDMI ports, as well as my XBox which has an HDMI port and a component port.
What I am looking to do if possible is to have all three ( DVD, V+HD Box and Xbox ) through my 5.1 system and if so, what would be the best setup to have?
Would I need an AV receiver to be able to run all 3 or would it be possible to connect the V+HD Box to my Samsung TV via optical cable and run the other 2 through HDMI?
Any advice at all would be appreciated guys, as stated above I am quite a newbie to this home theater setup so go easy on me
Cheers!
