Niddy,

It's a DCS - 370

Re: New TV no Surround sound

Indeed. There is one on the TV but it says optical on the ss, but it is obviously not. As niddy says, using HDMI it should work.

It will say Digital and be a wee square thing, black with a couple of sliding doors that when open glows red - however not to worry as we'll get it working via HDMI which is better than Optical Digital anyways....

Looks like this (the left).

Re: New TV no Surround sound

Been through every menu on the surround sound. It does date back to 2008, so may just be incompatible.

Even changed the HDMI cables to 1.4

Maybe another lump of coal will help

tell me the model of pioneer surround sound please mate

Re: New TV no Surround sound

it should be square rubber socket and glows red it doesn't look like a coax socket

Re: New TV no Surround sound

Have you got the same surround sound system? A Pioneer?

Its that he needs to change the source to Aux to

As a fall back if his surround sound is digital and has optical digital connection then he could plug that direct into the TV using optical digital which would bypass HDMI sound, but not advised as you lose Dolby Tru Logic doing that

There is an optical feed on the back of the surround sound, but it looks like a coax socket.

Re: New TV no Surround sound

Yes but vint is using HDMI so no optical leads necessary as HDMI provides sound so Optical is redundant.
