Yes, you should be able to get 5.1 DD sound with that set up.

Hi, thanks for your reply. Can you tell me if you have tried this ? How are you sure ? I've been doing some research all day, nothing convincing. :|

I have :
1. LG HD TV
2. SONY HTS
3. TS HD+

And yes.. I get 5.1 surround sound. Though you might need to buy a few extra cables. But it's totally worth it.

BTW.. if this doesn't work(IT WILL) Just connect TV and HTS with the AV cables for audio.

Can you be more specific on
1. what type of cables should be required ?
2. I would still want to use the native HDMI ports for 5.1 surround, are you saying this is not possible ?
appreciate your response.

May i ask you to throw some light on the back panel, just to see the sockets of the connectors in detail (about the digital audio out). Thanks.

From left the first connected is the wire coming from dish
The second is usb point (unusable)
The red, yellow and white points are for av connection
The point beside the above three points is digital optical output
Beside that is HDMI point

appreciate your response.

1. Normal AV cable. Generally its yellow and red coloured.
2. It is possible. Was just telling you about an alternative. Sometimes you need to know extra jugaads. Right?
3.Will try and send some pics of my setup if required. PM me for that

The HDMI In ports on the Sony HT are there only to connect external devices like STBs.

Check out the operating manual for the Sony HT here:

I was using Sony HT with Sony LED and TS STB years ago and it works perfectly to give 5.1 sound.

However, with your selected model you would only get upto DD 5.1. It is not compatible with DD+ 7.1 thru HDMI In. With this setup, the HDMI setting on TS STB will need to be kept at DD, not DD+. TS currently does not provide any DD+ output channels btw. It should not be an issue as the HT itself is 5.1.

You don't need any other cables other than 2 HDMI as you have mentioned. Connect TS STB HDMI Out to Sony HT HDMI In. Also connect the HDMI Out from the HT to the HDMI port on the TV that supports ARC (audio return channel) to output any TV specific sounds also thru the HT. That way, using the same HDMI cable, in addition to getting video on the TV, you can set the TV to output audio thru the HT only for any USB or Internet content played directly on the TV.

Go for it! You can even check out your local Sony Centre to get first hand confirmation.
