I'm finding all kinds of conflicting information on the internet so hopefully someone here will be able to help.

How do i connect my Toshiba 46XV635D and Sky HD box to a B&W Zeppelin (not the new Air model)

Thanks in advance.

Pete.

Google suggests the zepellin has a 3.5mm aux input which also doubles up as a optical input.

I'm guessing your TV will have an optical audio out on the back.

One of these cables or similar to connect the TV and B&W

And select the digital input on the B&W will do the trick

Even the new ones that have air play can only connect to one unit at at time
I was mislead on this, yes it's better sound quality than sonos but much poorer connectivity
I have 2 units but can only connect one from each source... Ipad, iPad etc no total house connectivity unlike sonos

That's a limitation of Airplay on iOS I believe. If you use iTunes on a PC or MAC you can select both your speakers as desired.
