To connect a home theatre system to your Foxtel iQ3:

1. Use a HDMI lead to connect the iQ3 directly to your surround sound system.
2. Then, connect the surround sound system to your TV using another HDMI lead.
3. Set the iQ3’s S/PDIF Digital Audio Output and HDMI Digital Audio Output settings to AC3.
4. Do not use S/PDIF or TOSLINK cables in this setup.
5. Note that volume control from the iQ3’s HDMI output is not available.
6. The iQ3 may not support HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC), so always connect it directly to the TV if using ARC.
