Need some help from anyone with a finger in the home DVD/cinema pie please.

I have a fairly basic set up, but I wanna know if I can get it all to use the same surround sound speakers and if so how.

I have a 27" LG TV, 2 scart sockets and various other plugs and outputs.
I intend to connect the tv via scart to an LG DVD player.

The DVD player has an inbuilt 5.1 decoder and outputs for all 5 speakers and subwoofer.

I think I am right in that connecting the TV via scart to the DVD player, I wont get any sound output through the surround speakers. Unless Im actually using/watching the DVD player?

I also wanna know if there is anyway I can hook my PS2 up to take advantage of the surround speakers too.

I know it all sounds a bit confusing but if anyone can give advise I'd appreciate it

Many thanks, Guy.

I have my tv linked to the dvd\surround sound unit with a scart output to the tv and a rca sytle input from the tv back so I can listen to the tv through the aux input, my old ps2 also connects to the tv via scart then plays the sound back through in the same way.

Cheers mate, sounds about right for what I was thinking. Will give it a bash later tonight

get an amp, connect everything to that, and then you can control everything from that, and will have more inputs, will have opticals, scart and phone inputs/outputs. surround can connect to it aswell
