hey guys,

I had a quick question, I have a Yamaha v471 receiver and some infinity speakers/subwoofer. I was wondering why i cant get sound for my home theatre system to play while im watching a movie/video on the Samsung Media Player.
Appreciate the help.

Thanks
Sam

I simply just connected an optical cable from the TV audio out to the receiver. It's located in AV1 on my Yamaha.

So when I stick a USB stick in the TV and choose a movie or whatever to watch I just have to click over to AV1 on the receiver to hear audio.

this is the response i got in another thread. I just ordered http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004LSNF04/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00 and im gonna try that.
