Question by peter f: I have a 50″ Samsung plasma, and wondering how to connect 5.1 surround sound to the high definition channels.
I have a 50″ Samsung plasma, and wondering how to connect 5.1 surround sound to the high definition channels so that when I am watching movies on tv they can be in 5.1 surround sound?
I havent bought any speakers for the tv yet or anything, all I have is a Samsung 50″ Plasma PS50C9 – I want to buy speakers to connect to the tv so I can watch the HD channels with surround sound.

You will need a Dolby Digital capable receiver. If your TV has a HD Tuner built in, it should also have a ‘Digital Audio Out’ for the receiver. This is usually color coded ‘orange’ This output would then be connected to the receiver’s ‘HD TV Digital Input’. This signal is then sent to the 5 speakers, and the sub-woofer.
I really need to know what kind of equipment you already have to tell you how to connect it properly.

Home theater – bought a system, and was wondering about wireless?

Question by Jim Baw: Home theater – bought a system, and was wondering about wireless?
I bought a wireless home theater system awhile ago, and when I bought it, you could have bought an attachment to make it wireless. I decided against it because I was on a tight budget, and now I’d like to look into it, but I can’t seem to find the attachment anywhere. Is there a standard attachment or is it specific to each model?

Note – I apologize in advance if my terminology is awful.
EDIT – ooops – I meant to say i bought a home theater system ago – you had to buy the wireless attachment separate.
