I just got a Proscan LCD TV and i also got a Durabrand DVD home theater system combo (surround sound/ DVD player). the DVD player plays movies and the picture shows up fine on my tv and the sound comes out of the speakers on the surround sound. but my question is how to get the sound from my cable channels on my tv to play on the surround sound speakers.??
This depends on whether you have digital cable box or not. If you have a Digi Cable Box look for the red/white RCA output and connect this via RCA cable to the Red/White Audio input on your surround.
If just Basic Cable look for a red/white audio output on the back of your televison. connect this to the Red/white in on your surround. Could be called tv in or auxillary.
Looking into this model further it seems that it only outputs audio via
coaxial. what this means is that it will output through an orange RCA
connector. Your surround must have a coaxial audio input to use this.
I am not sure if the audio over this digital interface is for the DVD
only or if it will also upconvert your cable.
Try hooking an RCA cable from the orange output to an orange input on your Receiver.
Another option would be to buy a cheap VCR and feed your cable into
that and use the audio output of that into your surround. You would
then use the VCR to change channels as well

you would think so, but here is the problem. it does not say audio out on the back of the tv. i had the red and white cords into the surround sound box plugged into the the audio in and tried every plug in in the back of the tv.??
