hi guys

reccently i bought a LG BD3D smart 5.1 home theater, but it has a little problem: the netflix interface are SUPER slow... even subtitles sofer with desync sometimes
so

i already have a sony bluray wich i used to play netflix and stuff.... but its only have coaxial out

My tv and ht have optical so i plugged in both, and put to all sound pass through external sound (HT)

my question is:

if i connect my sony bluray via hdmi to my tv and connect my tv to HT via optical cable.... all the content from SONY BLURAY will benefit from 5.1 sound or only content from HT?

thank you

If you connect the sony bluray player through HDMI it should transfer digital audio in 5.1 just like it would with an optical or coax cable, as long as you have the bluray player set to output in 5.1. There's usually a setting for it.

but i want to transfer sound through home theater via optical connected to TV....

if i mean right

sony >> hdmi >> tv = 5.1 sound
sony >> hdmi >> tv (set to external sound) >> optical >> home theater = 5.1 sound ????

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
