How do I use my home theater to play all audio from the HDTV?

Filed Under hdtv 

gigolo asked:


I have a home theater (with DVD player) and a cable recorder box connected to my HDTV. The home theater is on HDMI-1 and the cable box is connected to Component-2 (video and audio). How do I use my home theater speakers to play the audio when I’m watching cable TV through component-2? What additional wiring connections do I need to make? My cable recorder box also has a HMDI connection capability.

      Your cable box should have a optical or coax digital audio output. You should have an audio cable to go from your cable box to your surround sound receiver. Most likely you will need to change source type on your audio receiver to detect your cable audio feed.
