i have a sony blu-ray player. the blu-ray player came with surround sound speakers that plug into the sony blu-ray player. i also have a vizio tv that i bought at the same time. now when i watch dvd's or blu-ray disks on my song it activates the surround sound, but when i'm simply using my tv (dish sat. tv) it only lets me use the tv's speakers, not the surround sound. is there a way that i can use my surround sound whenever the tv is on?

does your sony blu-ray player have an audio input (such as toslink or hdmi) on the rear panel and a means to select that audio input from the front panel or remote? in effect, what you need to determine is if there is a way to get the audio from the dish sat receiver to the sony blu ray player. often this can be accomplished by cabling the audio output of the dish sat receiver directly to the sony blu ray player or from the sat receiver to the tv and then to the blu ray system.

if you post the model numbers of the sony blu ray player, tv, and the dish sat receiver, we could help you out a bit more -- i.e., determining the feasibility and cabling scheme.

most home theater in a box are not flexible for you to add anything or upgrade. your tv only has an optical audio output port which has to be connected to a receiver, home theater in a box with an optical audio input or sound bars. check your sony system and see if it has an optical audio input. if it has then connect an optical audio cable from the tv to the system. hope this will help you out.

connect optical cable or red & white cables from cable box to blu-ray sound system for tv channel audio.
