Sony KDL-50W755C + Logitech Z506 5.1 - How to hook up

by reinigenferkel

Hello!

I've bought my first Sony Android Tv just a few months ago and I'm quite satisfied with it. No problems whatsover so far.

Only thing that bothered me was the sound quality... so recently my gf surprised me with a 5.1 sound speaker system, with a Logitech Z506 5.1. However as I've checked it's not for TV-s (it has no optical input for example) its more so for a PC rather than a TV.

And the input\outputs for the TV is here:

Question is...how can I hook up the system so the 5.1 works? I don't want to send back the speakers since it was a present. Is it possible to properly make it work?

Thank in advance for the answers!

For surround you'd have to use a dolby decoder: http://amzn.com/B00XOZDMB2 . Hook that up to your TV via optical. Then you need three cinch to 3.5mm cables that you hook up to the sub's 6 channel input

The only outputs is can find on the tv is the Optical/toslink and headphone out. Your speaker system does not have optical but you can use a 3.5mm male jack to male jack cable: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Stereo-Audio-Cable-Meter-3-5mm/dp/B000Q6LT26/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics-accessories&ie=UTF8&qid=1458646745&sr=1-5

or a male jack to male rca connector: http://www.amazon.co.uk/3-5mm-Jack-Phono-Stereo-Audio-Cable/dp/B000Q6LSVS/ref=sr_1_9?s=electronics-accessories&ie=UTF8&qid=1458646745&sr=1-9

but it will never be true 5.1, it seems by the speaker inputs that a jack to jack connector would be used as a 6ch input? i'm guessing it should be inserted into the green input.

edit: completely forgot about HDMI audio, but your speakers does not support this either.
