Hookup for external speakers and amp.

by bdefrin Aug 12, 2009 5:28AM PDT

This may be really basic, but I think if I ask for advice rather than experiment with cables it might save some time. I have a LN46B750, and by the way, it's fabulous, and I want to get DVD sound from an external stereo amp and speakers. A Bluray player will be connected to the TV via HDMI cable. Should I use the audio out from the Bluray to the amp or audio out from the TV to the amp? Many thanks in advance.

Hookup for external speakers and amp.

bdefrin,

The Blu-Ray player will send surround signal if connected directly to the receiver. The optical out in the television will not allow passthrough of a 5.1 surround audio except for the tuner.

Does that help?
