Setup WD Live Plus with Home Theatre: Need Help

[ssramkumar31]

Hi Guys,

Recently i have bought one Panasonic PT-480 and WD Live Plus.

My home theatre is already connected with my 21" TV using Composite AV cable(AUX). I need to connect my WD Live Plus with this setup. Currently i could connect WD Live using Composite AV cable to the TV. And i am getting the sound in Home theatre using AUX only. It seems sound get degraded with this setup.

Is there any possibility to get sound directly to Home theatre system from WD Live. Can we use Optical out from WDLive to connect to Home theatre ?

Please guide.

Hi
You will need to connect WDTV live using an optical cable to the receiver.
Only then you will get surround sound.
It is mentioned in the manual of WDTV live.

Thank you for your idea.

How much would be the optical cable and which one would be good ?

 

[bigdaddy24]

There are lot of options.
You can go to CROMA and buy one according to your budget.
One of friends purchased it for about 2000 INR.


Thanks
Vishal

Marantz 4003, bose lifestyle 38, yamaha 657, onkyo ht-230, xtreamer, Asus xonar essence st..............No difference

im sure the lac+ amps might make a difference... still i wouldnt recommend a V expensive optical cable.
