Minix U1 + LG DH3140S 300 Watt 5.1 DVD Home Cinema System

[Magic86]

Hi guys, I'm new into this so apologies in advance about my little knowledge.

I was wondering if I could combine my minix neox U1 with that dvd home cinema? . I didn't buy it yet.

I had a look connections and this is all i got:

DTH Connection
Connect to DTH with LG Home Theater Systems Via available input source either HDMI cable, Optical input or RCA Input.

If yes, How would you connect it? HMDI from minix to DVD player and HDMI from DVD player to the TV ? Other options? Not sure if I need a dvd player, a receiver or a amplifier ?

Thank you

Stay clear of anything labeled "DVD Home Theater". Most of these are made with no additional HDMI or audio inputs, meaning that only DVDs will play in surround.

The LG you've mentioned is no different. SO, unless you'll be happy with stereo-only sound off your U1 - get something with HDMI inputs (that is, an A/V receiver)

In/Out
Composite Video Output Yes
Front Display FLD
USB 1
Audio Input Audio L/R Yes
Radio Antenna FM/AM Yes/No
Speaker Terminal Composing of channel 5.1
Speaker Terminal Terminal Type Push in (Spring)

Check the manual or audio menu on the TV to determine if it will pass surround sound via the optical audio output.
If it does then connect the Minix to the TV with HDMI and use the optical output of the TV for all your sources including the TV tuner. You may have to turn the optical output on and the TV speakers off to get it working.
