I would like to watch regular tv, etc local sport games through my cable box, using my surround sound system that i finished hooking up in my room.
Problem is it only works for dvd, radio, music etc for now, i want to connect to my Digital tv cable box to watch regular programming through the theatres speakers, any help??
If using RCAs, connect from the left/right out of the cable box to an open audio left/right input on the HTS. If you want to control the box with the HTS remote, you will have to set the code, that should be easy if you have the manual. You will need to set the HTS on whatever input the box RCAs are connected to. There should be an input or auxillary button on the remote. If the box has a digital (single RCA) output, or optical (small square) output, and the HTS has those inputs, they are far better than RCAs. You only need one of them, not both.
