3-D Surround Sound System
by: John Anderson

Gary,

This has me a little perplexed; I don't believe there is such a thing as a 3D "Surround Sound System". I think 3D is Video only (I might be wrong).

I'm not familiar with the "Sky HD Box", but it seems that your HDMI cable should connect from your HD Box, directly to your Receiver, and your Receiver should connect to your "3D Monitor", using another HDMI Cable (I don't know if you can use an HDMI-3 cable; you may need HDMI-4 for 3D). You should check your "Monitor" manual, to see which HDMI Input you should be using for this connection. Normally one would think this should always be Input "1"; but my Monitor manual instructs me to use Input "4".

I do not have the manuals for your Receiver or Sky HD Box, so I can't be more definitive. It would seem that all of your 3D processing would be performed by your monitor.

I don't believe there is a separate 3D Output on your Sky HD Box; however I could be wrong. If there should be such an Output on your Sky HD Box, it seems this particular Output may connect directly to your Monitor; with another HDMI Output from your Sky HD Box to your Receiver for your Surround Sound. For some reason, this does not seem like a logical set-up.

My comments may not be correct; however, It may get you thinking in a different direction.

Let me know if this has been of any help to you.

5.1 from SKY HD

I believe only stereo audio can be transmitted using the HDMI output of your sky HD box, to get 5.1 surround sound you would need to buy an optical able to connect the optical audio output of the Sky HD box to your home cinema system.
