For 5.1 dolby digital / dts sound require after connecting my HT player with Blu ray player

SUGGESTION / HELP REQUIRED
I recently purchased Sony 3D 42” (Model - 850A) and Sony Blu ray player BDP – S4100. In my blu ray player HDMI out and coaxial output port has given (Figure – 1)
In 2006 I had purchased a Sony 5.1 Home Theater system (Model DAV – DZ 550). It is complete HT system with awesome sound. Figure – 02 (Front view) and Figure – 03 (Rear Panel view) is given below



I want to club my Blu ray player with my HT system for audio out of Blu ray player. But in my HT system there is not input port for either HDMI or coaxial. The only input has been provided is Left and right audio in. My HT system is equipped to deliver Dolby digital, dts sound and prologic II sound.
But I am not able to listen 5.1 HT sound while watching full HD movie (Avatar in 3D ) Blu ray movie. If I connect 3.5 mm jack from my TV 3.5 mm output, only left/ right sound comes during watching full HD movie through Blu ray player like avatar.
Kindly provide me solution as soon as possible.
Regards

You didn't neatly specify what are you using for playback or you're using a blu ray player or some other toylike thingy. If this is the case, consider using a real computer. Even a 10 year old PC computer will do much better job than any standalone player like console or whatever.

If you are using a computer and you're having this problem, you didn't connect all 3 3.5cm connectors properly. They are color coded, so it should be straight forward job.

P.S. I apologize for not reading it though, but you specified far too many meaningless letters and numbers that make sense only to their respective company's service team.

Does your home theater support an Optical (toslink) in? If it does, you could check your audio source (I think this would be your blu-ray) device to see if it has an Optical output and use that. If your source does not have the optical connector, try this. Blu-ray to TV via HDMI and TV to Home Theater via Optical. Most TVs have an Optical output.

Since you don't have a digital input on your Sony HTiB you can only connect the Bluray with the L/R analog audio connections that you have already used. If you select Dolby ProLogic you should get surround sound. If you had an HDMI or digital input you would get a better result.

Hi, I wouldn't say an old computer would give better results than a console, especially a PS3 and PS4 ( recognized by Home Theater community to be one of your best options unless you want Audiophile/Videophile quality) The colorspaces can be weird IMO. you'd need special software too such as Cyberlink PowerDVD and the ones that come with your bluray drive have several features disabled in order to persuade you to upgrade to the full version. In my case they disabled bitstream output and only stereo output. ( years ago but you get my point). So Yes using a console would be recommended here. Please forget about using any type of analog connection and use only an optical cable from the back of your console or connect your console to your receiver and have a surround system connected to your receiver.
