Page 1 of SHARP TV Widescreen 32" Dolby & Alba103DVD

Got a problem. Im not quite sure how to utilise the best from my TV and DVD as far as sound goes. The TV sounds pretty tinny and the surround speakers distorts on some bassier DVD`s and TV programs. I have no idea on what the Hz numbers means on the graphic equaliser personal sound preference and im sure its ruining my surround speakers. Any ideas? I do have a quite good HI-FI, should i run it through there? If so, do i put the phono leads into the TV or DVD player?

The TV i bought is way to complex for an amateur and im sure that im gogint o ruin the set. I have read through the manual but cant find anything that explains manual set-up.

Is there anyone out there that knows about this TV?
