Best Answer

You will need:

A stereo amplifier
Speakers
An optical audio cable


1) Connect the HDMI cable from whatever you are trying to hook up (Virgin Box, Blu-ray player, PS3, Xbox 360) into the back of your television.
2) Connect the optical audio cable from the back of your television to the slot on your stereo amplifier.
3) Your amplifier should be connected to the speakers. If it isn't, do so (it should be covered in the manual)
4) You may need to configure Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound for it to work.
5) Ensure the amplifier is turned on.


Alternatively, you could connect your optical audio cable directly from what you are trying to rig up to the stereo. Either way should work.


I hope that helped.

How do you connect surround sound to a TV?

There are essentially two ways to get surround sound out of the Xbox. Via HDMI or via optical (TOSLINK) out. If you have the component video cable, then the end that attaches to the Xbox has an optical out port. Simply attach this to the optical in on your home theatre receiver with an optical cable. If you want to use audio via HDMI, in order to get surround sound you'll have to have an HDMI receiver capable of receiving audio. In this case run the Xbox via HDMI to the receiver and then the receiver via HDMI to the TV. The HDMI will send both audio and video. If you have the official Xbox HDMI cable you can also connect the HDMI cable directly to the TV and use the optical out connector that it comes with instead.

The KLV32ex400 has no surround output capability. The only audio output is a stereo 1/8" headphone jack. If you are using a Blu-Ray or HD cable or satellite receiver, you can run an optical or coaxial digital cable from those directly to the receiver for surround sound.
