So about a year or two ago I bought a DVD home theatre system, all the speakers connect to the DVD player. Now I am considering buying a blue-ray player but don't know if I can somehow connect it to the speakers on the DVD home theatre, or play it through the blue-ray but get the sound from the DVD system. The speakers are great and don’t really want to spend big money having to buy a bunch of new equipment. There is only one HDMI connection on both the TV and DVD player as well. Anyone have any suggestions?
 
Connect optical cable from Blu-ray player to Home Theater System for audio.
 
Is there a component connection on the tv, if so use a component cable from your old DVD player to the tv and connect the blu ray disc player to the tv. Connect an optical audio cable from the tv to your home theater to get the sound. Those home theater in a box are not flexible for any upgrade or adding other equipment to them. You might be able to find a switch box that has multiple HDMI input and one output. Hope this will help you out.
