Hello guys , may I have your advice please ? Can anyone tell me what cable I'm gonna need to buy to hook - up my TV (Samsung UE40ES5500KXXU) with DVD home cinema model HT-Q20 so that the 5.1 sound will work . Thanks in advance .
You need an optical cable or TOSLINK. This will give you the best sound for the system you have. Do you have any cable or sattelite boxes or is it just the TV and the DVD player?
Im afraid that this cable won't be of use because the DVD hasn't got a Digital Audio Out (Optical) Steve_LowBill
It doesn't need an output, it needs an input. Your DVD player acts as the receiver for your sound system correct? Any movies that you play through it will automatically be played through the surround sound. You need the optical cable to go from the TV to the DVD player so any television programs you watch will be played in stereo or surround sound (whichever is offered by the broadcaster).

Unless maybe I am not understanding what you want to accomplish.
I want the sound from the TV to be played through the DVD in 5.1 surround sound , is this possible at all ? Sorry for not distinguishing the question correctly .

From what i can see, the only audio output on your TV is optical and the only inputs on the DVD player are stereo RCA so you can't do what you want to do.
