Using speakers from Dav dz230

[Dcfcshandy]

Hi, is it possible to use the speakers from a Sony DAV dz230 which Ive been given and connect it to a newer Blu-ray player with an HDMI input or optical so I can use the speakers through the TV? As far as I can tell, the current player can't be connected to play TV sound through it. 

If so, which player would be best suitable. Many thanks.

Hi dcfcshandy, 

Welcome to the community. 

When you say the current player can't be connected to play TV sound through it, do you mean the DAV-DZ230? The manual for the DAV-DZ230 is here in case it helps. 

Thanks,

Hi, thanks for replying. I was given the HTS to me and I was under the impression I could hook it up direct to the TV, and get surround sound from the program I was watching,  But I think it  only works when watching a dvd or cd, radio etc. I tried connecting an old scart to RCA but it never worked. 

Only way I got any sound from TV was with a 3.5 audio cable, which only produced sound through 2 speakers. 

Unless I'm missing something. 

So I was wondering if a newer Blu-ray player would have the same speaker connections. I've seen a few newer ones have optical port and hdmi arc, so in theory I could get TV surround sound. Hope this makes sense!
