    Hi folks,

    I have recently purchased the excellent Sony DAV DZ260 but I can not get the surround sound to work from the television.

    My TV is the Samsung LCD 32" 456 and I onlt have the basic NTL analogue cable (18 channels- no box or anything) and I have tried everything to make the SS work. I currently have the Sony connected to the Samsung with a HDMI cable and my dvd set-up is perfect. Would I need another cable to get the SS to work for the TV...an optical cable?

    Thanks in advance

    Is there a function button on it and if so can you select "tv" and see if the sound comes out. You might indeed need another cable but with previous DAVs you could use the single scart for video and audio in both directions.

    I had the same problem. I solved it by leaving the HDMI connected and also connecting a scart lead from the TV to the DVD player. Then use the function key on the remote to select TV sound. It works fine now.

    Thanks Warren,

    Yeah I have being trying the TV option using the function button on the remote but all I get is the Sony Home Theatre intro screen and nothing else.

    I'll give the scart option a go. Cheers
