Sony DAV-DZ360 Home Cinema with Samsung LE26A457?

Thanks a lot for the reply, so do you think an RCA Phono audio cable will do the trick?

I looked online and it seems like the easiest option for me.

Thanks again.

Edenseager,

An RCA cable will provide stereo (left and right front channels) sound, but that won't take advantage of your center channel, woofer or rear speakers.

For the surround sound, I'd still recommend optical.

Okay, thank you!

Could you possibly tell me what optical cable I will need?

Thanks very much once again.

Eden.

I think I just asked a stupid question, being a newbie to this stuff I didn't know what an optical cable was (hold back the laughter please)

Just looked on Amazon, I will pick one up tomorrow!

Thanks for all your help.

Eden.

Hey, we've all been there.

Glad you found what you were looking for. As they say, "any ol' optical will do". I don't think there's that much of a difference between them. But if someone has a recommendation (or anti-recommendation), please say so.

If your going to tell me, do it quick. I feel a lock down coming. Looks a little toooo spammy.

You gotta have it on your business card first.

Both coax cable or optical cable handles 5.1 Surround Sound. I've use both to connect my DVD player to my receiver. You can try with the coax (what you call the RCA audio cable) first. I connect my Time Warner box optical digital out to my Pioneer receiver because I've already used up the coax audio input on my receiver for my DVD player.

My Pioneer receiver is older and require me to press a button to explicitly tell it to decode the audio signal as either DIGITAL or ANALOG. It took me a while to notice the tiny ANALOG word on the receiver panel and switch it. Until I switched, I got no sound from the cable box.
