Unwrap the cables and match them to their colour on the back of the speakers, front side, back rear, front & woofer.
Plug in the connections to the back of the DVD player, again all coded.
Turn system on and it will guide you through the sound setup, what this does is tweak the speakers for balance and power, then place the sound check mic in the middle of the room, then its best to get close to the door and press ok to test system, then leave the room shut the door while the sound configures, it takes about 3 - 4 mins and high pitch noise shoots around the room. buy 3 Optical Cables for PS3/HDTV and a Splitter, all working perfect.
Put on your favourite film and sit back and watch,
Playing on PS3, you need to go into audio setup to change to optical audio, this then allows the system to go through the home cinema.
just switch on the TV setting on your home cinema (aka DVD player) and this triggers your sound for the PS3. If you are using this late like I am having a young family it is best to turn the night setting on (easy click on the remote) this reduces the woofer base allowing everyone to enjoy the eve/night;-)
I have been using it for a week now and am still amazed by the quality.
In a Nutshell - HDTV (with Optical Out), Playstation 3 (with Optical Out) and the Home Cinema (with Optical out), I advise buying 3 optical cables and a splitter, one from the home cinema to the splitter main input, then channel one from the splitter to Playstation 3 and channel two from the splitter to HDTV. Its best to note that the Optical Cables do take preference over HDMI Cable therefore no sound will work through your system, with PS3 you have to go into the Sound Settings and change from HDMI to Optical and select the 5.1 channel for total surround.
