LG TV connection to Samsung Blue Ray

We have the Samsung HT-BD1250 Blue Ray Player, LG 1080 LCD TV, Comcast cable set up. Also we are still using the Denon stereo receiver DRA 545R. Currently, we are running the CD/Radio through the Blue Ray but want to have the TV run through the Blue Ray. Thank you.

Which comcast box?

Motorola(?) make model?

I'll just assume your Comcast box has HDMI out for now. If not, we can tweak that part later ;). The following should (hopefully) provide you with the correct surround sound & video connections from your cable box.

Comcast box (HDMI out) -> (HDMI in) LG HDTV
Comcast (digital optical out) -> (digital optical in) Samsung HT-BD1250

Samsung HT-BD1250 (HDMI out) -> (HDMI in) LG HDTV

I'm not familar with that older Denon receiver. If there is any sort of audio outputs (red/white) you could continue to run that into the back of the Samsung (via L/R audio in) if necessary to keep radio as an option. Let me know if I missed anything.

audio from tv to blue ray speakers

Hi Pedro, First, thank you for your time and help. Ok, I took your info and saw that I was missing the optical audio connection. Bought it, hooked it up, and I still don't have tv audio out of the samsung blue ray. I have tried the remote and looked at the manual. How come I cannot get this?! Suggestions, any. Thanks again. Carol

You may have to assign an (audio) input on the blu ray

See if there's anything in the manual regarding using the digital optical in ports. I'll look in the morning....

Just to verify- you've only used the connections I've suggested(?)

Press the function button to select the D.IN input. That should do the trick ;)

Don't forget to play with the network features of this unit as well. You can connect it to your router and access things like You Tube, Pandora/Netflix, and other services. I am curious how good the streaming function is in real life too.
