How can you connect the surround sound port of led TV to a 5.1 home theatre system?

If your TV has a digital audio output, connect it to the optical or coaxial digital input of the surround receiver. This will pass through the digital audio signal sent from a HDMI input at the TV.


How do you connect surround sound to a TV?

There are essentially two ways to get surround sound out of the Xbox. Via HDMI or via optical (TOSLINK) out. 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.
