Ok just got my cinema kit and I am wondering how I can get this type of sound used on my Xbox, I have the advanced scart cable, do I need an optical cable or is there another way without me buying an optical cable? Cheers (bit stuck here - newbie alert)
Me thinks an optical cable is the only way to go, so you might have to get a beefy set of 5.1's with an amp for input.
I've got a creative set up and it works a treat, picked up for about £100 from dixons, reduced from £250.
It sounds great, especially in Halo, although it did buzz quite alot, which is due to having the speakers, and amp plugged into the same socket, so just run an extension cable from another socked to power one of the two and that should solve it.
went off on a tangent there, but might help people with the same problem.
The only problem with optical cables, is that the ends are quite fragile. I used to swap it between my Ps2, Xbox and PC, and the end snapped, and they are about £15 for about a metre, my advice... find one you want, take it out the box when the owner of the shop isn't looking, hide said box, ask assistant how much it is and get a discount!
