What i need and how to connect my xbox 360 to my surround sound system?

i have a xbox 360 from the premium set with no extra accessories, basically standard from the launch day. i also have a surround sound system but im not sure how to connect the 2. all my surround system has on the back are 6 audio input holes, 1 for each speaker ( front r, front l, center, woofer, rear l and rear r). i am also planning on getting a projector soon.is it possible to connect the surround sound system to my 360 and if so, what equipment would i need. and also will a projector complicate these connections any more? thanks

If your surround system only has 6 inputs and they are all for the speakers, then something is either missing or it does not allow any external source to be connected. Does it have a DVD player and radio tuner built in? If not, then there must be some more inputs for external sources somewhere. Check the back of the subwoofer as sometimes these type of systems locate the inputs there.

Once you find the inputs on your current system or once you purchase a new system, you will use the stereo audio cables (red, white) to connect to the new system. However, the only way to get true surround sound is to use a digital optical audio cable for audio. So if you are purchasing a new one, make sure it has an optical audio input. After making the connections, you must enable dolby digital audio in the xbox 360 system setup.

As for the projector, it won't complicate anything with the surround system other than speaker placement. It will however, complicate video configuration for best viewing.
