Different ways to connect your Sky HD Box
Initially appearance the back of your SKY HD box may seem a bit daunting with all the different connections on it. But there's no need for it to be, if you need to watch HD television then you will need a HDMI Cable as long as your television can handle it. If not don't fret as there are more ways to go about connecting them together and there are a wide selection of adapters and converters available to help you with this.
The other method to get HDTV is to use a component SKY HD cable these have a round connector which have between four and seven pins in them and are found on most television sets sold in recent years. One issue with using the faster and better HDMI SKY HD television wire is that it'll only transmit 2 channels of sound which means anything that is broadcast in Dolby 5.1 will not be heard. To get around this you will need a set of RCA audio leads these also will be needed to work with your component Sky HD cable.
Before buying your SKY HD cable you will need to check what cable connections you have available on your TV and then purchase the best cable SKY HD cable set you can. Most credible shops of cables & leads may only be too happy to help ensure that you've got the right one to match your current gear.
Naturally if HD output isn't what you want at this time, or you do not need to use your HD output all the time then the other connections will serve. You may have more than one wire connecting the equipment together and selecting which one to view on your television. For this the RF, SCART or other outputs will be suffice for your requirements.
If you are looking to split the picture and the sound you'll need to run the sound through some type of stereo system or amplifier. The best way to do this is with an Optical wire, as this lets you maintain digital quality sound.
