Default Getting surround sound to work for the tv problem

Hi, this is my 1st post. I have a Panasonic th-42pz70b and a Sony DAV-DZ830W. I am using a HDMI cable and watching a dvd is fine, but I cant seem to get surround sound from the tv when I am watching TV. I have set up the TV and surround sound as the instructions say but no joy, Any ideas anyone?

connect the red and white phono sound outputs on the back of your tv to the red and white aux inputs on your surround sound system and turn the surround sound system on to aux when watching tv.

Stupid me didn't read the instructions properly. I thought that the HDMI would be all I needed. Anyway, connected audio cables, (in and out), but didn't make any difference.

Used a Scart lead instead of cables and it seems to work now. Thanks everyone. Only problem I have now is that my PS3 doesn't work through the surround sound, even though I have connected a fibre optic cable.

In the sound setup menu on the PS3 set it to Digital Out not HDMI and you'll be sorted.
