Trouble streaming audio to Philips HTS from Hitek Q10 pro through digital Coaxial

[fullsoftwares]

Hi,

I have the following setup.

VU 4K TV - No ARC
Philips HTS - https/www.philips.co.in/c-p/HTB5540D_94/5.1-3d-blu-ray-home-theater/specifications
Himedia Q10 Pro - https/www.amazon.com/Himedia-Q10-PRO-MALI-720-ENCLOSURE/dp/B01EILVHC6
Pure Oxygen Free Copper Coaxial Dolby Digital SPDIF RCA Male Audio Cable 1.5m - https/www.amazon.in/gp/product/B00ECW8ED2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

I connected Q10 pro to TV using HDMI cable. Audio (stereo)/video works fine. I want to output the audio to Home theatre from Q10 pro for which I connected using Coaxial cable. I tried different settings like disabling HDMI audio...etc but nothing work. No sound in Philips HTS.

When I connect Philips HTS using HDMI to Q10 it works but then the TV output is 1080p as HTS is HD only.

I checked guide as well and ports.
Philips page 8 -> https/www.download.p4c.philips.com/files/h/htb5540d_94/htb5540d_94_dfu_aen.pdf

Please advise what could be wrong.

Thanks for the links.
Can you try the optical audio out?
If the coax or optical digital out of the Q10 can't be turned on or the audio output type changed in the Q10 audio menu then plan B would be to get your audio from the digital audio output of the TV. There is no downside to going through the TV unless you can't set the TV audio to output in 5.1 bitstream.
Another option is to use an HDMI audio extractor in between the Q10 and the TV.

Thank you for your suggestions.

I have following port in my TV [https/www.findyogi.com/televisions/vu/vu-48d6455-48-inch-smart-4k-ultra-hd-led-b98213/price]
Audio Out ✔ 1 x Digital Audio Output (Optical)

and following in my HTS. [https/www.philips.co.in/c-p/HTB5540D_94/5.1-3d-blu-ray-home-theater/specifications]

Digital coaxial in
Digital optical in

So which cable....etc is required

To connect the TV or Q10 optical audio out to the HTS optical audio input you need a cable like this one

Check the TV manual on how to turn on the optical out. You may need to turn the TV speakers off too.
