got it silko...I understood ur connections...but one try..connect dish tv hdmi out to ur yamaha hdmi in....yamaha hdmi out to ur tv hdmi in....u will be amazed by the sounds of some hd channels..like star movies..star gold etc......

OK, I will try that one.
I am a big fan Hollywood movies but I have only Movies Now in HD. I can check audio quality on that channel only. I will upgrade my DishTV package for other English movie channels including Star Movies. I am not sure if DishTV offers other English Movie channels in HD or not.

first check do ur pana ht has this feuture called audio return via hdmi ..or it dont have?? I am not very knowledgeblle about ARC...if ur tv and ht both are arc enabled pls consult someone else how to apply that I mean the connections and all...
obviously one hdmi port of tv will be connected with tatasky stb and the other hdmi port of tv will be connected with ht..but how to enable the ARC functional via remote control..I really dont know..sorry.
if it dont have arc in tv or ht......just realax...
now check is there any optical input(orange color) at ur pana home theatre box backside.......if yes then connect the optical out from ur tatasky box into pana box optical in....u will get it..thats not best..but best at this situation...
by the way how are u presently connecting them??

Thanks Prosenjit da, yes both my HT (XH-170) & TV have ARCs & hence looking for help to connect them. Right now I am using a regular AV cable to give output from TV into the HT input to get sound in HT but have to increase the volume of HT to hear the programming and digital effects are not there..

OK, Correct me if I am wrong.
My STB is DishTV HD Plus. I have taken optical out from TV for two reasons.

1) I do not have any AV Player, not even DVD player, so I play videos from TV's USB port to play usb rips currently.
2) Whenever I don't want to use HT for TV audio, I don't have to switch cable from receiver to TV.

That means I have connected STB's HDMI cable to TV directly and only optical cable from TV to AV receiver.

Is this correct way or there is a better option?

PS: Will it sound much better if I switch from DishTV to TataSKy or other service provider?

Hello silko,
I want to make the same connections as you do..as i too play USB rips through my TV USB & want to connect tv to Ht through optical & Dth to tv through Hdmi.
Are u getting proper Hd/3d sound through these connections? Have u tried shifting connections what baijo has replied?

Denon 1312xp is not a very good package... Go for onkyo 3300 if available or 3400

yahoo just asking this...I have onkyo 3400 and is very satisfied with that..
presently recomending a friedn for denon1312 ...but u are suggesting that is not a good package:sad:...are its speakers weak??...also it has active sub compared to passive sub of 3400.........

to fully enjoy 5.1 sound the rips should be with 5.1 and also the decoding shd be into 5.1.best is buyibng a media player capable of decoding/bit streaming hd audio with 5k...just an idea....otherwise ur 30k system wont sing efficiently without proper food......

No, I have not tested that setup yet. I will inform you as soon as I do it.
