    I got an LG tv and soundbar last year. I don't really like the TV or sound bar and just bought a 42" Sony smart KDL42w705 TV to replace it.

    I wired my small living room for speakers when I built the house but have never used the wiring.

    Does it matter if I get another brand cinema system for the room. Will another brand turn on and off with the TV and volume work with the TV remote?

    Would the like of this work automatically in the back ground with out using its own remote to turn it off or on?

    It's likely that you would use the cinema system remote to turn on and off the TV and control the volume. The TV will accept an On/Off signal via the HDMI connection, you'll just need to check the setting on the TV menus to enable this. It's highly unlikely that you will be able to control the cinema system volume using the TV remote unless the TV was the same brand and anyway, in all probability you will disable the TV speakers so the TV remote will be redundant.

    Hello again.

    I was hoping for a little more advice.

    If I buy a second hand Sony DAV-DZ260 system(which has the bravia sync), will I get get full digital sound when I watch netflix's with my new KDL42w705 TV?

    At the minute I have a sound bar connected via optical.

    Don't fall for that 'Bravia Sync' rubbish, the system uses CEC which is common to all manufacturers and is the Esperanto of HDMI connected devices.

    Philips and other manufacturers try that marketing trick which is designed to fool you into thinking that you will have more function and better inter-device communications if you buy all of your kit from them.

    Will you get full digital sound? It depends on what sound is included in the feed to the TV, you will be connecting the TV to the soundbar using an optical cable as you're doing now.
