Question
We have a Panasonic TC-P42X1 TV, a Samsung HT-TZ515 Digital Home Theater System and Direct TV  Plus Receiver.  We get excellent sound out of the home theater system when watching videos.  How do we watch TV and get the sound out of the home theater system?  We have an HDMI cable and a digital optical cable.  

Thank for your help.

Answer
Hello Kerri,
You need to connect audio out of Direct TV receiver to your Samsung HT's TV audio in.
It could be an optical, digital co-axial or RCA.
Please check at the back of your Direct TV Receiver and determine what matches with your Samsung's TV audio input. That's the connection you will use.
Thanks

Any question regarding Home Theater Systems. What to buy? How to do the hookup and troubleshoot. (Only surround sound hook up) Please note that I am not a technician. I do not do projectors. When sending me questions, please make sure you provide me with as much information on your equipment as possible. I would like to know on each equipment you are connecting, if you have HDMI, Optical and or Digital Coaxial ports and how many. Do not forget to include make and model of your equipment......Thanks
