How to hook up my new flat panel and other components to my home theater.?
I have a new lcd tv with 4 hdmi inputs but only one audio output (optical). Can I hook all of my components (xbox, playstation, satellite box) to the tv via hdmi and then use the 1 optical audio out to route the audio through my home theater surround sound (which only has the 1 audio in - optical). Then I guess just mute the tv. I would test this but the tv hasn't arrived yet and i want to get the in-wall cabling done ahead of time.
Hardly any TVs pass *surround sound* from one component to another. So the answer is probably "no". You could pass two-channel audio via the optical cable though. Or you can buy an optical cable switcher.
You have run into the #1 problem with those home theater in a box systems. If you look at the questions in this section many of them address this limitation. For this reason I never recommend HTIBs unless they are based on a receiver rather than a player.
