I just bought a Hitachi 65F710, and I'm trying to hook up my sony DAV-C450 surround sound system. Here's the deal, my surround sound has a dvd player on it, but it's broken. I have another dvd player I want to hook up with my surround sound, but don't know how. Also I bought one of the optical audio cables, but I can't get the optical or the RCA cables to work. Should there be a red light coming out of the optical port on the receiver? (I noticed my tv had a light but reciever didn't) My goal is to get my dvd player to work with the surround sound and have surround sound speakers to be used while watching tv. If anyone could help me I'd appreciate it and my life would be complete =)

I'm struggling to fully understand the features of all your equipment but I'm trying to answer your question in the simplest form.
Your surround system has the DVD player and decoder in one box and outputs for the surround speakers and I dont imagine it has any digital sound inputs. (why would it need them). therfore your other dvd player needs to also have a built in digital decoder and outputs for your speakers. If it only has a digital output then it needs a seperate decoder which cannot be your broken system. You also need to find a way of connecting your TV audio to the decoder if you want stereo TV channels through the surround speakers, but this wont be digital surround but still analogue stereo normally via RCA cables and connections. Sorry cant say what role your HDTV box will give unless it has some useful outputs that your TV does'nt already have.
