Hey TJ. I used to sell those years ago. Great TV for the time, one of the first 100hz TV's. D series Sony's definitely have HDMI unfortunately I don't think they have optical audio output for sound. Is there a stereo audio output port? Does your Sanyo have a stereo input (red & white plugs marked input or audio in) ? If so you could get a 3.5mm jack to stereo plug cable and connect the headphone socket on the TV to the system. This will mute the TV's speakers probably tho. For watching DVD's all you will need is a HDMI cable. That will pipe the pic to the TV. If all the speaker cables are connected you should get surround automatically on a 5.1 DVD. If your not there should be a button on the remote to change tha audio presets. Try changing the sound field. If you still have no joy come see me at The good Guys in Ozzy Park. Ben.
