I have recently purchased a 46 "Samsung LCD TV and Philips home theater system. the TV has a digital audio (optical) output and not the usual A / V outputs. the DVD player has not optical input but usual A / V inputs (red & white). could anyone suggest me how I hear my TV programs through the home theater speakers?

Take the home theater system back and get one that uses hdmi. Get one that all your hdmi's go into your receiver and then has 1 output to go to the tv.

 

what he said

 

Are you 100% certain the TV doesn't have composite audio outputs? That would be very odd. It would also be odd that your receiver doesn't have composite audio inputs.

I bought a Samsung TV for the bedroom recently and it has them. Check again. And as was mentioned by the 2 previous guys, HDMI is a far better choice. Most any new AV component will have them. Use the HDMI connection as it carries sound and video at much higher resolution than any other type of connection. A cheap eBay HDMI cable will work as well as a $75 name brand one so don't waste money.

 

The TV should have A/V inputs. All TVs do, even the high-end ones. A pic of the inputs would be helpful

 

dvd players dont need HDMI.
The highest resolution dvd can output is 480P.

optical cables can send out PCM/dolby digital/dts

HDMI will ouput dts-ma/dolby digital HD/PCM
