[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1510605, member: 24160"] Without looking up your particular TV... The general rule of thumb for all brands of TVs, not just this one: You must use an HDMI port that is labeled as HDMI/DVI and you must use the audio port labeled as DVI. Every TV uses the above - you cannot use the composite, S-Video nor the component audio inputs and expect the sound input to work with the HDMI port. Some TVs use the standard RCA jacks, some use a 3.5mm stereo mini-plug (same as the headphone jack on a Mac) for the DVI audio input. If your TV does not have a DVI audio input, quit looking at ebay and head for monoprice and get [URL="http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=101&cp_id=10114&cs_id=1011405&p_id=5369&seq=1&format=2"]this[/URL]. You will also need: mini-DVI to DVI cable mini-toslink to toslink cable HDMI cable (looks like it's time to re-write this sticky) [/QUOTE]
