Bought a Digital Optical Audio Cable as suggested by a very large electrical store, but cant seem to get it to do anything.
Went into the store to ask if i could by a surround sound for my blurray, but told they come all in 1. Bought a panasonic bluray player in December, so dont need to spend £500 on a whole new system.
Was told to get the Optical lead as that would work with my tv and the surround sound we currently have.
I have a HD tv, HD cable box, Bluray player and JVC surround sound ( did have dvd player unit but we took out and replaced with bluray player)
All have the Optical socket.
The lead i bought did not come with any instructions, but yes its obvious plug 1 end into 1 unit and other end into other unit. But which units??
the JVC is an old unit and has scarts but no HDMI all other units have scart & HDMI, Bluray does not have a scart socket ( that would make life easier)
The JVC also has 2 optical sockets VIDEO & TV
I have tried different combinations but cannot seem to get the surround sound to work when playing a dvd.
So does anyone know which sockets the optical lead should go in. Because of the av leads the tv will work with the surround sound, but not when a dvd is playing - only on the cable box.
Hubby says to get a techno guy in ( thats gonna cost even if he cant get it to work)
