Ok, I want to add a 5.1 surround sound to my Samsung, but it seems like it's not a very easy task.
I currently have the following components hooked up to it:
PS3 via HDMI
Dish Network DVR via HDMI
Home Theater PC via VGA
I also have the Logitech Z-5500 5.1 Speakers that I want to hook up to it. (It has an optical input for digital audio)
I want to use it for 5.1 Surround sound from all of my sources, except the HTPC, which I can live with stereo from it.
Seems like the easiest solution would be to connect the optical audio output from the TV to the surround sound. But I've heard that it either doesn't give all 5.1 channels or the timing is off from the TV (or both). So I'm guessing that's not an option.
How else can I set it up without buying an expensive receiver?
