    I bought a Samsung Home Cinema (HT-Z120) today and its the business for DVDs. Watched one there and sound was amazing.

    Can I play normal TV sound through the speakers etc? It says fcuk all about it in the manual and I tried a few different things. I have a Samsung Plasma.

    Anyone know what the story is. Surely I can play normal TV through the speakers?

    Yes ! We have Sky+ and you can buy a cable from the TV shop which feeds your TV through the Home Cinema. Cost about €20 or so. Ask the shop - it's the business.
    Also don't forget that you can use ther Home Cinema to play CD's as well if you're having a house party -sound is superb..

    Sorry - no - but both ends had a plasticy circular end - the TV shop guy knew of it straight away just tell him that you want to feed Sky + through the Home Cinema & he should hopefully point you in the right direction. Hope it works!

    Got it sorted there actually. Had the cables, just not in the right jacks.

    to obtain proper dolby digital dts and 5.1 surround sound you need an optical cable, I have the Sky HD and PS3 going into the Yamaha amp and the sound is quality
