Wireless Surround Sound – Does It Untie Your Speakers?
A new trend is the appearance of an increasing number of home theater systems with wireless speakers or a separate wireless surround sound Surround Sound kit. As multi-channel audio still is a fairly new phenomenon, older homes are not prewired for surround sound, especially with the most recent trend of 7.1 surround systems. As such a wireless option appears to seem like the logical choice. But are these wireless surround sound kits reliable enough for real-world applications and do they get rid of the dreaded cable clutter?
Looking at available wireless surround sound kits, you will notice that most of them, such as the products from Rocketfish or LG will connect two speakers to a wireless receiver unit. As a result, such systems, while eliminating the speaker cable from the front of the room to the rear, do not really eliminate speaker cable but only reduce it. As such products with separate wireless receivers for each speakers, such as the wireless surround sound product from Amphony, offer a much cleaner solution since each receiver can be attached directly to the speaker of choice.
The big question is: do these wireless systems have any impact on audio quality? When choosing a wireless surround sound kit, one should prefer a system where the audio is transmitted digitally. This will ensure that the signal does not pick up noise during the transmission. Another consideration is the quality of the audio amplifier inside the wireless receiver. A good-quality amplifier will have minimum audio distortion and high efficiency. Also, picking a small-size wireless receiver will help hide it from view.
Another issue to consider is that in a home theater setting is that the sound to all speakers should be in sync with the video and also in sync with each speaker. Some wireless units such as the Rocketfish will introduce a delay in the signal, apparently to cope with interference. As such you should investigate how much the signal travelling to the wireless speaker will be delayed. The Amphony product however specifies a delay of less than 1 ms which should be low enough for pretty much any real-world application. Finally, how reliable are wireless speakers and wireless surround sound kits?
The final consideration is how reliable are these wireless speakers and wireless surround sound kits in a real-world scenario. A problem facing any wireless device is interference from other wireless devices. Especially consumer devices in the 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz frequency bands, such as WiFi or Bluetooth devices, have become more and more widespread and cause an increasing challenge for any wireless device. Choosing a product that works in a less crowded frequency band, such as the 5.8 GHz frequency band, reduces the impact of interference.
While wireless speakers and wireless surround sound kits are suited for use in a home theater setting, their use is not limited to that application. In particular setting up speakers in another room often poses a challenge in terms of running speaker wires or using speakers outdoors. Just imagine being able to set up a speaker in your backyard in minutes. The possibilities are endless.
How do I connect my TV to my external audio using an optical audio cable?
I have a LG 37lh2 TV, and a Dgtec mini combo DG-6107i external cd player with speakers. My TV has an optical audio output, which I connected the cable to, but my player has no input. It has an auxilary input? The cable came with an attachment which I plugged into the white aux input, but still no luck. Anybody know?
>How do I connect my TV to my external audio using an optical audio cable<
You don't.
Your CD player has the following inputs:
Input Terminals:
1 Set Aux input,
1 set Scart Audio input
A optical audio cable is a digital signal and none of your inputs are digital.
Does your TV have the red and white audio output jacks and or a headset jack? If so, you should be able to find something going from either of those to your Scart input.

This is a Scart connection and pin 1 and 2 are the equivalent to the red and white audio connections, so this is your ONLY choice.
