Howdy All,
Ok, this may seem a bit thick, but I'm not entirely sure how this works, so hoping you guys can help.
Several months ago I got a Samsung 40" UE40B7020 LED TV, but I want to get a 5.1 sound system to power ALL sound from the TV.
So connected to the TV I have:
All of which are in the 4 HDMI ports on the TV. How would I get 5.1 sound (or the best it can produce) to pump out to a 5.1 system? Would I connect the 5.1 system to the optical out on the TV? Or would I have to go via one of the other devices?
My TV manual says something about only outputting 2 channel sound if the device is connected via the HDMI port, and if I want 5.1 sound I should plug the home theatre receiver directly into the device I want 5.1 sound to come from... but this would surely mean moving the input of the receiver to the appropriate device everytime I want to utilise the 5.1, which would get very tedious. Is this correct?
Also, I would like a Samsung 5.1 system (to match my TV/Blu-Ray player) but I cannot seem to find a Samsung 5.1 home sound system without a damn Blu-Ray/DVD player. I have already got one of those, I just want speakers and an amp (assume I would need an amp as well)?
Any advice you can give will be appreciated!
Thanks
