yes I can help, you have two sources(sources=cable box and dvd player) that have OUTPUTS and no INPUTS, you will need a A/V receiver with two optical digital INPUTS to hear anything (not to mention at least a couple of speakers).


good luck

Why are you connecting the dvd to the cable box. The dvd optical should go to your receiver

you guys (lilacroy,mr2channel) are wrong!!! It took me 2 minutes find out that Philips MX3700d is DVD and surr. receiver in one. God ,how I hate these all in one!!! SI-Redleg - you have no digital IN on it - so there is no way hook up your cable boxaudio thru digital. Go and return it as soon as possible and spend couple more $$ for better all in one (if you are in love with it) or better buy real surr.receiver and DVD player - I know it is more $$ but it is worth it!!!!
