Hi guys
please help me setup my new plasma , Tatasky +, PS2 so that all audio output is through my new panasonic home theatre 5.1 system

Okay so heres what i want.
i have these compoenets which i am trying to setup

Plasma Panasonic TH- P42UT30D
5.1 Home theatre panasonic SC-XH150
Tatsky + STB
Sony playstation 2

So this what i want.In simple words Video for every gadget i mentioned above, i want on plasma and sound on hometheatre.
I connected my hometheatre to plasma using HDMI cable. so whatever i play on my hometheatre i get surround sound on hometheatre speakers and video is on plasma. great.
Now i want to see tata sky+ on my plasma but i want my audio output through Home theatre speakeres. firstly tell me that only HD channels support Dolby 5.1 or all channels ? secondly how do i get audio output of tatasky+ on my hme theatre speakers? Right now i have hdmi from tata sky STb to plasma connection which will still be required but for audio out to home theatre will this be possible through the SPDIF cable?
Next thing is my PS2. again i connect my PS2 using those yellow red and white cables into my plasma but for audio to home theatre i guess it will be through SPDIF? as thats the only other slot available at the rear of PS2. but which means i have to swap SPDIF cables for tatasky + and PS2 whenever i choose to play any of the two?

I am just confused with all this.
please help me. below u can see the rear panels of my Hometheatre

For surround audio from TataSky (SPDIF) to HomeTheater (Digital Audio In) use optical cable and you will get 5.1 sound.
 
That's how one should ask by giving pictures of connectivity options. Good job!

Now this is what you could most with your current HT System

TV(Optical OUT)--Optical cable-->(Optical IN)HT System
Tata Sky(HDMI OUT)--HDMI cable-->(HDMI IN)TV
PS2(Composite OUT)--Composite cable-->(Composite IN)TV

Set your TV to output audio via Optical (S/PDIF).
So now you will have all video through your TV and all audio through HT System.

PS: That Yellow/Red/White cable is called Composite cable and its corresponding connection called Composite.
 
+1 to ontherocks..............suggest to use component video instead of composite video for PS2 for better video quality. You will need a component video adapter for the PS2 alongwith a component video cable. The difference is quite remarkable between composite and component video.
