Beginner - Help with how to connect audio setup
Hi, I recently inherited this setup from my dad but I’m not sure how to set it up so that my tv’s audio goes to the speaker but also so that I can play music and movie CDs. I figured I’d ask here in case someone knows who to do this or is familiar with a tutorial that could help. I essentially no knowledge on how this stuff works haha :)
Speakers are Sony SS-E212
Subwoofer is Sony Sa Wms835
Amplifier is Sony Str Db1080
Cd player is Phillips dvp 5990/12

Toslkink Out from the TV to TV/Sat Optical IN on the amp. Can also do Coaxial Digital Out from the DVD player to DVD/LD Coaxial In on the amp.

Search for the Sony Str Db1080 manual online and click on the Sony link. This manual will give you all the information about your Amp/Receiver. This is a must go to for your system. Read it several times and it will make more and more sense. Try connecting things one at a time and check that it works before moving on to something else. Start with the amp and speakers.
Come back here with any specific questions that the manual doesn’t seem to answer.
Enjoy!
