Chris,

Welcome to TSF, we're glad you found us.

It sounds like you have the system hooked up correctly. I'm not familiar with that particular unit or your Sky+ but most pieces needs to be told to output to the optical (Sky+) or see to optical signals (Sony). So make sure you've gone into the menu function of each and set them that way.

Perhaps some of our Sky users can chime in...

Again welcome to TSF - the best place on the nets...
