[QUOTE="Spektral, post: 918176, member: 49767"] Well, the plot thickens. Turns out that my new TV doesn't have any proper audio outs (oldskool ones) - and apparently this is common now. It has optical audio out and HDMI ARC. Reading up on these has been a bit of a confusing time. I think I will need either an SPDIF/Toslink to analogue converter, or a HDMI ARC to analogue converter, one which can handle Dolby output from the TV as well as PCM. I think I have found one of each, but, the problem is, I want the TV remote to be able to adjust the volume. I am getting conflicting information on this, most saying optical out is fixed and cannot be controlled with the remote, and some saying they have managed it with the HDMI ARC, whilst others are saying it is fixed too. Meanwhile, the traditional floor stander speakers I want to buy are running out of stock, so I think I need to get those ordered and just risk it that this can be solved somehow - then get the rest later, whether bluetooth, digital or HDMI ARC or both and cables... I can't believe it is so difficult just to connect up a hifi to a TV these days! :|:o Kinell fire. [/QUOTE]
