The system should work even with your current connection, after you set audio for hdmi input/output properly, but you are still using a bad connection setting.
To have HDMI connection working you need to check audio output settings on TV menu, and confirm HDMI settings on the home theater, refer to page 22 on SC-PT450 manual.
To build a 5.1 Digital connection you should connect sky box or receiver to your DVD, and then the dvd player directly to your TV using
the HDMI input. This will give you the best possible picture because
the signal is totally digital. You
will need to go into the DVD player/sky box setup menu to select the proper
audio-out method for this connection, and then SC-PT450 will be
receiving 5.1 surround.

If you want 5.1 then you need to go optical or coaxal from the dvd player to the receiver. the 5.1 is not goin through the hdmi cable and back through the scart socket.
the sales people dont know, most of the time they just want to sale it to you so they say what they know and that is it will work how they say, but you will need to use 1 rca plug if you have this jacks and you already prob have one, you can use yellow red or white, it does not matter. if you only have matching optical then you will need to go optical. once you get it setup. if you dont get sound then you will need to select optical in as your audio selection on that input mode.
sometimes tv doen't design audio pass through for stuff like this. for digital, but if your tv has a digital output jack it may not be true 5.1 enless you come straigh from dvd to sournd.

I see your point but I was wondering if I have not made the right connetions thanks for your advice regards Brian
Hi ginko thanks for your reply I have tried the settings you have reccomended, on the latter one I don't get any picture at all I can only think It has got something to do with the setup as I said I am not the most technically minded and have looked at the menus for tv and theatre system and cannot find anything for audio in or out. Only on the viera link does it say audio, tv or home theatre it works on tv but nothing on theatre do I have to have this optical or coaxial lead, the sales person in the shop said the only connection I needed was the HDMI cable regards Brian
