Guys,
Currently my connections like this:

TV: Sony Bravia KLV400 (40') HAVE ONLY 2 HDMI CONNECTIONS
HT: Samsung HTC-453 with DVD Player
PS3
ASTRO: Beyond Decoder

For VIDEO SIGNAL:

1. TV to HT via Component (To watch DVD)
2. TV to Astro via HDMI
3. TV to PS3 via HDMI

For SOUND SIGNAL:

1. HT to PS3 via Digital Optical
2. HT to TV via Component (To hear DVD sound)

a. Sound will come out from HT for DVD player
b. Sound will come out from HT for PS3
c. Sound will come out from TV for Astro

QUESTION?

HOW TO MAKE SOUND COME OUT FROM HT FOR ASTRO?

HELP ME!!

i wish u could draw that

since u connected ur astro to TV via HDMI... meanings that astro's audio carried into TV...
what u need to do is carry the audio from TV to your samsung...

check your rear of your TV, there have "Audio Out" (should be RCA) of your Sony and connect to "AUX In Jack" of your samsung (should be RCA)...

so just get any "RCA to RCA" cable will do...
but dont expect good audio quality provided from TV since audio from astro filtered by TV...

Thanks bro for the advice but i've read somewhere the sound will be lagging since it travels from astro to tv and to ht..

analog signalling wont lag much, usually the audio will blur due to poor audio processing by TV...

otherwise u need a current AV receiver which can accept HDMI IN (from astro) and HDMI OUT (to TV), so audio will carry to AV receiver's speaker and video will carry to TV... with this AV receiver, u also can connect your PS3's HDMI into it too... so AV receiver will used as "centralized"

Hmm..i'm currently drawing the connections now but having prob to upload it. Anyway my Samsung AV receiver only have 1 HDMI port and that i think is HDMI out, that is why i'm using component cable to connect to tv since my tv only have two (1 for ps3 and 1 for astro). The HDMI out at my AV receiver is not being used currently.

that is the problem for common HTS doesnt come with HDMI IN...

so i guess the only choices is connect ur TV and HT via RCA-RCA cable since your samsung only can support 2 audio input (optical & RCA)... but dont expect much about the quality...

if u want good audio quality from astro, then is time for u to get proper AV receiver such as pioneer VSX-520 or onkyo HT-S3300

I've connected the RCA cable from TV to HT systems AV receiver. When i select AUX mode, the sound comes out from the HT systems when i watch Astro. But now how do i want to hear Dolby surround from Astro Beyound which i can select the setting at the menu but obviously no sound will comes out from my HT systems since i'm using the RCA cable. So if i used a HDMI switcher, i've 1 extra HDMI port at my TV (TV ONLY HAVE 2 HDMI PORT)...NEED HELP FOR ADVICE !! Thanks

Below is my current setup..

AUX (stereo) is analog signal, dolby is digital signal...
unless ur TV have the capabilities to downmix from 5.1/7.1 to stereo then different sotry...

You can connect audio out RCA from byond box to aux in HT. No need to connect from TV.
Once you select Aux mode, you can choose Dolby Pro Logic II to create virtual surround
Byond deliver DD via HDMI & digital coax but your HT doesn't have either input.

Thanks bro for the feedback but i've already try that. Currently the RCA is from TV son when i want to listen Astro sound, just need to change to AUX and i can play around with the options for (MATRIX, PROLOGIC II, MUSIC....). But i want use the Astro Beyond setting to change to Dolby Surrond Sound. Maybe i can connect the HDMI from TV to HT systems.

It is time to change to a proper HT with HDMI inputs

Yeah... get AVR with 4 HDMI input like yamaha rxv367. It price just around rm1200 i guest.

Expensive maa..
