Hello,
I have a SA-HT870 home cinema system with an active subwoofer:
This set has no digital or 5.1 input. The only option for 5.1 playback is from DVDs or forced "Super surround" mode with stereo input.
I would like to connect this set to a television with a digital output in order to use the 5.1 signal from the television.
My suggestion is to connect a digital to analog decoder to the TV:
and this analog signal "implant" into the home cinema system into the connecting cable dvd player with subwoofer - that is, give the signal from the digital signal decoder directly to the active sub, which has other speakers connected to it.
That's how I see it:
Does it have the right to act at all? Maybe you have any other suggestions? I would like to add that I am only interested in playing TV sound on this home theater - preferably 5.1. I am not interested in the radio and DVDs.
User manual SC-HT870 - a twin version of the home theater
Service instruction SA-HT870
