Surround sound hookup

[Jmongold]

Have a sharp smart TV and direct TV with a philips dvd home theater. How do I hook everything up to get my surround to work. I can't even get it to work playing dad's. It's a philips hts5580w/f7

Playing DVD on those things is the most basic thing u can do, plug&play. If u can't, maybe it's broken!
