Hi. As far as I can tell, your new TV has no audio output at all. There's no analog or digital audio output jacks, no headphone jack, and no mention of either HDMI input having an audio return channel (ARC).

That said, whether or not you can run a 5.1 surround sound system depends on how you are using it. You're only reliant on the TV's built-in speakers if you are using it to watch over-the-air broadcasts. For any other source (e.g. blu-ray, cable box, satellite TV receiver), you can run the audio from that source to a receiver or soundbar directly if everything has the right connections.

What sources are you using?

right now i'm using standart Sd cable box but want to update to HD box later
the Sd box are connect with tv just with Scart{don't have any other output}
later i will want to buy xbox and also thinking about some blue-ray player with some sound system...my budget isnt big so i dont need anything special...the 5,1 system can be great but any other cheap system which will work fine for small room flat will be enough..just want to get much info as possible and then decide what to do

i was read 1 again your previously answer and what you say if i gonna have the right e.g. blu-ray, cable box, satellite TV receiver then i can connect tv to this item and from this item lead the sound to e.g. 5,1 sound system or whatever else???

Any answer but probabbly hope i was right

when i look some HD Boxes i was find that some have SPDIF Digital audio out

if i got this right when i gonna buy then 5,1 hometheatre with SPDIF input
then i am cover with 5,1 sound

I just bought a 42" LG smart TV, and I am using the Optical digital out, to feed my non-HDMI receiver an audio signal. So your TV should have an optical digital out (Toslink)
