Audiofile help.

[iDeJayDzn]

So basically i'm wanting an all in one surround sound setup. I want to keep all my products within the Sony family circle if possible (You'll see why) and to have all my devices syn'd to have the audio play through one system whenever i need it.

 

I'm not asking for playback through the system from every device... just something that will allow me to switch to different devices when i need them.

 

Here's the list i need to fit into the system.

 

Sony Bravia TV

Sony Playstation 4

My Computer
USB.

 

I currently have a Sony Home Cinema DAV TZ135 System

Anybody would could help me out would be greatly appreciated.

So you want an option to select which one you want to hear?

Edit:

Something like that?

Basically select between the 4 or just allow them all to playback at once (If that's possible)

Baring in mind the PS4 uses optical cable already for my Astro Mixamp for my headset too it so it may have to go through a HDMI splitter or something, idk.

Basically what I said in my edit? Just add an "hdmi to optical audio" adapter to the output. 

 

PS4, PC, blah and blah > 4 way splitter box > Y Splitter > HDMI in (TV)

                                                                                       > hdmi to optical > astros

I kinda fucked up my posts and what you saw. Refresh the page, please.

I saw. Basically i can just buy any Sound system, stick a HDMI into the back of it to a TV and then TV to a HDMI splitters along with all the other devices then stick one coming out and input the HCS? If i'm understanding you correctly.

and some tiny hdmi cables or you might start to lose the signal.

The audio setup you have is only stereo input - are you trying to find a new one, or find a way to make the current one work?

What I'm saying is you should eliminate all other hdmi cables apart from one.

(4 hdmi to 1)

Convert that 1 to two

(Y splitter)

Then get optical audio for your astros / soundsystem

And also another cable for your TV / soundsystem

Wouldn't i need 4 input slots not output though? And i already have enough optical cables/hdmi cables Don't see the need for the splitter though?

Bit of both. I'm looking to replace my current sound system with one that actually supports my PS4, PC and TV with a possible USB input on the HCS. Although the USB input isn't that important.

wait wait wait. I didn't make this clear. Let me whip something up quickly.

In that case you're looking at a full sized AV receiver. Few, if any, have USB inputs. A simple and cheap Sony STRD550 should do what you need, and you could even re-use the satellite speakers of your current system. You would need a separate amplifier for your current subwoofer, or a new active subwoofer, however.

[iDeJayDzn]

This is basically what i gathered from what you both said.

Btw, my HCS doesnt have normal jacks on the heads. They're clips persay. So i may need a new HCS that would support a reciever.

I think you're adding in some unnecessary components. 

 

The jacks on the satellite speakers can simply be snipped off, the wire ends stripped and inserted into the receiver's bare wire outputs.

So could you link me to a HCS to replace my current setup?

 

Baring in mind i need a HCS, Reciever and for all the parts to be interlinked together.

What's HCS stand for?

[iDeJayDzn]

What's HCS stand for?

 

Home cinema system. I want speakers and a Sub for audio. The reciever would obviously control them and allow the devices to be interlinked

[ShearMe]

Home cinema system. 

 

Something wrong with your current speakers?

[iDeJayDzn]

Something wrong with your current speakers?

 

I just want a more modern system that's going to look premium. Considering i have a PS4, a new G-Sync monitor (Eventually another) and a glossy BenQ monitor. The TV is getting replaced eventually too. The speakers and sub don't look 'premium'. So i want something that will fit well with everything and look like it's all from one product cycle. If you understand what i'm trying to do/say.

Make sure you recommend something shiny and hi-tech, doggie.

Gotcha. A good starting place will be figuring out your budget then. You could build a system off individual speakers that cost $300 each, or get a combo package with all 5.1 for the same price. Whad'ya think of these: http://www.amazon.com/Polk-Audio-Blackstone-5-1-Channel-Theater/dp/B00AEU9D0O/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1424053946&sr=8-3&keywords=5.1+speakers

I was actually thinking this may be better as it'd reduce wires and help save space. Rather than having wires all around the room.
