Usually, you need an HDMI cable from the HDMI out on the cinema unit to the HDMI in on the TV. If one or both HDMI ports don't support ARC, you'll also need an Optical/ SPDIF cable going back the other way.

HI,

Is the home cinema model the 0ne in the following link???

As i have just scanned through the manual and it appears to say nothing about the leads you are talking about it does mention hdmi and that should be all you need to connect to tv. Please confirm I am reading right manual?

also when you turn the home cinema on you might have to switch the tv to the right hdmi input channel.

yes the only cables they supply r a yellow video cable 480i ,scart lead with the yellow ,red ,white ,which is no good at all beacuse you only have one scart output on the tv and that has sky box in and i tryed useing a double scart connecter and no good and when you put the video cable in and go to aux nothing it will only play dvd in cinema no t.v and hdmi does nothing same as the rest thats only for pics ??

Hi,

So it kinda works then just ironing out the small details and wives no longer hitting the roof??? looking at the manual again there are only 2 ways to connect cinema box to tv one way is with hdmi and the other is with the video cable, the best way to do this is with the hdmi cable as it will give you 1080p and you should have one come with the cinema box????

Hi,

Are you in the uk??? as you can pick up a hdmi lead from wilkinson they should not be more then £3-£4 if you get one don`t think spending £20-£30 is going to get you a better one as that just the price electric stores like currys charge,if you look in your manual check to see if it say it should have a hdmi lead and if it does go back to the store you got it from and tell them they might even give you one. HDMI will be the best way to connect to tv. there is also on the back of the cinema box a audio input connecter which yo could connect to a hifi amp so you can play music and radio through it but i think that will not make use of the extra speakers unless you you have an upmix option on the cinema box.
