Currently this is what I have: Toshiba 52HM95-TV Kenwood HTB-707DV 6.1 channel Standard Home Theater System-a/v receiver DirectTV HD satellite receiver Kenwood cd/dvd player. How can I hook up all this to get dolby digital sound. All I get right now is Pro-Logic. I have all possible cables that need hooking up(component, HDMI, toslink, digital coax) Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
emil you say that the Optical input is labled for DVD what is the Coaxil input labled? Your Direct TV box needs to be hooked up to the Coaxil input on the receiver. Use the HDMI wire to go from the Direct TV box to the TV. IN the meneu for the Direct TV box select Setttings and then Audio. IN audio it will have a tab for digital out put you have turn it on and select Dolby Digital not PCM.
thanks for responding CASEY! I guess the coax input on the receiver is for whatever. Direct TV box only has a toslink and not a coax digital connection
