I have two JVC HOME STEREO speakers with a Vizio LCD TV. The thing is I want to connect the speakers and I do not know how it could be possible. The home stereo speaker's are red & black wired NOT A/V red & white cables. The TV has A/V connections though.
So how is it possible to connect them if it actually is possible????
I have a new Sony STR-DA6400es receiver. HDMI 1 input has a dishnetwork 722 connected via HDMI. The receiver is HDMI A output is connected via HDMI to a Panasonic Plasma Monitor. Everything is working great. Except If I turn off the receiver I lost video and audio. How do I setup the receiver so that I can watch news and other shows which don't require a home theater sound. There must be some by-pass that works when the receiver is off. Help!!!!
Quite literally the "system" is working correctly and the TV speakers should never be used. Even for news the Sony should sound much better.
If you insist on using the TV speakers you will need an HDMI splitter to connect the output of your Sat box to both the Sony receiver and the TV directly. Once that is done you could switch inputs on the TV for news or late night viewing.
Sorry Jim for not starting a new thread, In the 20+ years on the net I have never joined a forum or a chat room. I've only read them for the information they can provide. In keeping with my topic last night or early this morning I was able to by-pass the receiver by connecting two additional cables: a component and a RCA audio cable from the Sat box directly to the Monitor. This works fine but it adds two more cable to the picture, which isn't a big deal.
Now you are a veteran and can post as many questions in new threads as you want!!!
Component as in Red/Green/Blue or composite as in yellow? Hopefully the first one and you have have it. Same result with a bit different wiring method. If you are using composite (yellow) just know that your picture will look really bad but for the news...
If you are using component (Red/Green/Blue) I would like to know because thenI have learned something. I was unaware that would work for a Dish box. I have tried that with my AT&T box but once I connected an HDMI cable the component video (and all of my settings) went away.
I was just informed by Sony Tech Support that it cannot be done. As for the work around, the connections I am using are component R/G/B. The DishDVR 722 is sending both HDMI thru the receiver and Component to Monitor. All I do is switch inputs on the Monitor from Component (input) to HDMI (input). I doubled checked that Both Monitor inputs are receiving HDTV (1080) and they are. I also believed that once I connected the Sat HDMI (output), that the components output would be disable. I am glad it's not. Wife wound definitely complain if she had to use the receiver all the time. Remember you have to keep the wife happy if you want your to keep the expensive toys.
