Giovanna Sherlin: This will depend on your surround sound system. Keep in mind that most home theater in a box are not flexible for adding anything to them or gor up grading. they are mainly designed for you to watch a movie with the built in player with surround sound. If it has an optical audio input, then yes. You can connect an optical cable from the tv to the surround sound and get the sound to come out on your system. You connect the cable box directly to the tv, using HDMI cable. Hope this will help you out....Show more
Vickie Sterbenz: if you give model numbers to what you have it would be easier to let you know what to do. but you could go from the TV to the digital input(I assume) on your surround sound system and that would work, or read the owners manual and see if you have audio return on the tv and surround sound system
Patricia Bolduc: I'm a little puzzled by your description of 'only one HDMI port'. You should have an output from your cable to ! the input on your receiver. From there you should have an output on your receiver to the input on your TV. As mentioned you can run an optical cable from your cable box to your receiver to get digital audio (no video). But the HDMI cable would be able to handle both audio and video.
Freeman Rutkin: - Home theater in a box (HTIB) which is a disc player (amplifier) that comes with passive speakers = garbage.- If it has a s/pdif optical or s/pdif coaxial input, you can get audio that way. Have a separate cable (hdmi) going to the tv for video.
Terrell Lawman: Opical cable does not carry video, only audio. Do your homework next time before you spend your money.
