Can you connect a bluray player to a home theater system?
There are a variety of ways to connect a Bluray player to a home theater system. The two signals needed are video and audio. The precise details depend on the type of system so the following is only general advice. For HD video, an HDMI connector will be needed. This will connect to the monitor or projector. There may be a central signal router or AV receiver in the system, in which case, the HDMI connector might plug into one of the inputs at the router. Audio can be obtained from the HDMI connector. If there is a receiver for audio processing, the HDMI may be connected to it and another link will then carry the video signal on to the monitor or projector. If there is no receiver, the monitor may have stereo or surround sound audio outputs that are generated from the audio content of the HDMI signal. If none of these options are available, audio can normally be taken direct from the Bluray player into an amplifier. The connection may be analog on RCA connectors or there might be a digital output that can be decoded by a surround sound processor. Before plugging in any cables, take some time to study the inputs and outputs of each piece of equipment and plan the routing of video and audio signals. Having a plan before you start will avoid a great deal of trial and error.

How do you connect surround sound to a TV?

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.
