Unhappy Theatre System / HDMI Set up gone wrong

Hey Guys,

I have a slight problem and I am stumped.....

I have mounted my Plasma TV on the wall and connected a 5.1 Surround sound system to it using 2 Audio cables going directly into an AV Audio splitter at the back of the surround sound player (Audio Out form TV to AV Splitter) , and by a HDMI Cable to the TV.

Secondly, I have connected a Blu-Ray Player to the TV using a HDMI Cable. (See Picture)

The 3rd Box is a Virgin Set Top Box, Connected Via Scart Cable, from this is also a TV Arial. This box is going to be replaced soon for a HDMI compatible box.

After installing the equipment I was getting sound from the two front speakers, but “NOT” the centre or rear speakers, I ran the calibration and it synchronised the surround sound system with the TV (I Think). Basically if I altered the sound using the TV remote the sound on the theatre system also adjusted.

I tried “Ice Age 2” in the Blu-Ray player to test it, as it’s fairly modern but I did not hear any surround sound from it, so I also tried the movie using the Theatre Systems player, This did work, you could definitely notice the surround sound.

I am assuming I have connected this up wrong for surround sound not to work via the Blu-Ray? There is no real options for me to alter the sound settings via the TV’s OSD, Its either “Theatre” or “TV”.

Can anyone help me out here, I’m exhausted trying to figure out where I have gone wrong regarding the set up.
