Hooking up Surround Sound to TV?
|
Brian | Hi We got a Panasonic 27" Stereo TV Model: CT-27E13 yesterday and Im trying to get our surround sound hooked up to the TV. Before, we only had the Samsung speakers hooked up to the DVD player and only to the DVD Player. Is there any way I can hook these speakers up for it to work for the DVD PLayer and regular Cable TV? Please help! Thank you. |
|
| You didn't mention anything about what you are using for a receiver to drive you surround... but I'm assuming you have a standard receiver unit as opposed to in integrated dvd/surround. One generally simple way to set it up is to hook the L/R audio output (analog) from the TV to the L/R audio input on the receiver (generally "TV" or "Video" input, but it shouldn't matter). You may have to go to the TV audio menu and change the setting for an external source, but in most cases it will automatically output whatever is playing on the TV, whether it's cable, VCR, video games, etc. Hope this helps... Good Luck!! |

| We're having the same problem. We bought a harman kardon reciever w/ infinity speakers and while the surround sound works with the dvd/video, we cannot get it to work with cable TV. any help would be greatly appreciated!!! |

staul1 | I have a Mitsubishi 50" HD upgradeable tv (Model VS-50111), a Toshiba DVD (Model SD/2800),an Aiwa Stereo (Model CX-ZHT63) with 5 surround sound speakers and a sub and an older model vcr. I am needing to know the best way to hook these pieces together for optimal video and audio. I want to be able to have surround sound through the tv,dvd player and vcr. I am not as much worried about the vcr but I would like to have the vcr audio coming out of my stereo when watching a vhs tape. Another question, is the component video that much better than just using an S cable for the dvd video feed? Also, the dvd player has an optical surround sound plug on the back and my stereo has an optical digital plug on it also but the stereo plug is an optical digital out. Please help with how to set all of this up. |

The maual say there is an operating error and to re-read the instructions and try again!!! What now??? Please help if you can!! Thanks, lisa |

Unregistered guest | We are having the same problem as Megan. We got a dvd/surround sound system, but the only time we have surround sound is when we play dvds. I got a RF Modulator with S-video Input because my tv doesn't have the S-video hookup. We hooked that up yesterday and still no sound from the tv. What am I doing wrong? We have been struggling with this for 3 weeks now. Please help us. |

New member Username: Project6Post Number: 77 Registered: 12-2003 | Robin, do you have any outputs from the tv going into the receiver? use the audio output from your tv into the receiver...your choice on video 1, 2 or 3. since the tv output is only in stereo, the only way to hear surround is by using the receiver to put out dolby prologic or neo:6 |

Unregistered guest | Just bought a "Theater Innovations" professional home theater system TI-6000s 5.1 channel system w/ active sub-woofer and surround processing. 800 watts of total power. I'm obviously missing something...it sounds like s---. It didn't come with a receiver. Is there a way to hook up to my new 55" JVC TV without buying a receiver ? I'm pretty sure I need a receiver. Last question..is this system as good as I hope and paid for ? |
|
New member Username: Project6Post Number: 116 Registered: 12-2003 | You said it ahs surround processing...does it have a surround processor? These things don't just power themselves, it needs to be driven by an amplifier or a receiver. now, if you bought these from a couple of guys on the street saying something about extra inventory and that they don't want to return it to the store and they just want to make "beer money, etc." You've been had! |

Bert CR Unregistered guest | I saw those two guys on the street selling the "Theater Innovations" Professional Home Theater Systems TI-6000 and TI 5100 5.1 channel system w/ active sub-woofer. They mentioned that they got an extra inventory and that their supplier made a mistake and gave them more that the ones that they ordered. They have also the catalog and a flyer about the technical specifications and it shows that the suggested retail price is $2,999.00. So they asked just for half or less of that price. They show you the money (about 1 grand) that they got form another person that bought one before. The point is DON'T BUY anything from them; even though you see the box closed and the catalogs. |

Vis Unregistered guest | I hope that you can help... I have got Panasonic 32in Wide Screen, Yamaha VS10 surrond system, Samsung DVD, Sky Satalite, Basic Panasonic VCR. The TV is linked directly to the VS10 using left and right stereo outputs, the Sky box is linked in a similar fashion but with video aswell, the DVD is linked via a digital cable. The VCR is linked to the TV via scart on AV2. The DVD is linked to SKy via scart and then Sky is linked to the TV via Scart on AV1. My problem is that when I watch a VCR I can get the picture, but the sound that comes from the VS10 is the VCR channel on the TV - Channel '0', so I do not get the VCR in surrond. If I turn up the volume on the TV I get the sound OK through the TV Speakers. I have tried to tune the TV to the right channel by having a VCR playing and then setting the tuner to find new stations but I have had no joy. Everything through AV1 is OK and I can either listen to it through the TV selection on the VS10 or by choosing the DVD or Sky. Any ideas..? Thanks |

Elke Unregistered guest | ok, had the same problem and figured it out.......You hook up your DVD to your tv first.In my case ,component cable from dvd to TV with extra audio cable from DVD into component audio on tv (same slot). Result:only DVD will have surround sound. Next, I hooked up an additional regular audio cable right into the free remaining audio output on the dvd player(Video1) into a single audio out slot on the tv. To hear the sound, change your dvd mode (in my case Aux 1, activate ProLogic and you will have the sound coming out of your surround system at all times. hope this helps TV Sony Wega HDTV monitor DVD Samsung 600 W |

|
Bronze Member Username: Jdsaenz1Post Number: 82 Registered: Jun-04 | You could try the ol' vcr trick... cable into the vcr, then to tv, and audio from the vcr outs to will go to your surround receiver. There are devices (Radio Shack, etc.; search online), that do the same thing the vcr does for your audio, but without the vcr. Unless you have a cable box. In that case, connect your audio outs on the box to the surround receiver. |

I have tried hooking it up to my existing Yamaha sys and get nothing but the lights and remote working. I couldn't even get any sound directly from a TV. The speakers work alone but are nothing like what I already use. Should I just toss this in the trash or could my nephew use it with his video games and stuff. any help I would appreciate |

New member Username: RussjPost Number: 1 Registered: Dec-04 | I am trying to get digital audio (dolby 5.1, DTS) from my cable connection. The cable company "help" desk said that I could only get that from an S-video output of a HDTV converter which would not work with a non-HD TV. So, apparently they are all wet if S-video carries no audio ? |
|
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 1984 Registered: Dec-03 | huh?!? S-Video is exactly what it says, video! Color and luminance, no audio signals, no way around it. The cable company help desk just reared its clueless head. If your cable company provides digital signals and you are paying for the service, then you should be receiving these signals. Now, when you say you are trying to get digital audio, does your cable box have provisions for a digital audio output? If it does and you are paying for the service, this digital audio signal goes into the receiver to be decoded. |

M. Smith Unregistered guest | We bought a Philips surrond sound system. We have a cable box. We hooked the surround sound through the cable box. It will play a DVD but will not give us surround sound through the TV. To play the suroound sound we have to put the TV into audio mode. Is there a way to make this system work to give us a TV with surround sound? In other words we want to have the surround sound speakers play when we watch TV??? |

Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 2218 Registered: Dec-03 | Lynn, Unless your TV has a digital audio output specifically for surround sound, then no. You can however, connect the red and white audio output to your Home Theater system and use pro-logic II to get some sort of surround sound. blah blah, You can't make it work with your TV. If it is brand new, return it and get something better. Sorry... |

Bronze Member Username: TipstirPost Number: 52 Registered: Sep-04 | Do you have Hi-Fi VCR also? Since you don't have a cable box, using the Hi-Fi VCR tuner instead of your Toshiba tuner will produce better surround sound than what your TV can produce. But on some Toshiba have surround sound already built-in. I've own 2 of these sets and they all have it. Do you have Projection TV if so you should have all the hookup already in the back TV audio out (white-left) ---- (red-right) The Audiovox Home Theater System, does it have input for TV or AUX sound? |

Anonymous | The never ending problem. Surround works fine. DVD, FM, VHS all are ok! No surround from tv. TV has audio out red and white ports. Zenith says to use their audio out and connect to audio in on Sony Receiver receiver. Sony says to take audio out from tv and connect to audio in on receiver. Guess what?? Neither works! Any suggestions. 3 hours on phone with Flala from Sony resulted in her blaming the tv manufacturer zenith. 30 minutes with zenith and they indicate the problem is sony. Is there anyone else to blame? Me for buying into this mess! Thanks for any help. |

I have a sub woofer and 5 satellite speakers, i have connected them all to the back of the sub woofer, easy part. I have then run one of the leads from the 5.1 channel output plug (back of the sub woofer L plug), both red and white, and connected just the red one to the white plug at the back of the TV, then run another lead from the back of the sub woofer (C plug) to the DVD. The problem is, it runs ok if i have to tv running but if i put the DVD on and change from tv to AV2 for the dvd, the dvd sound comes through the tele and the tv sound will still be running through the surround sound even though i'm not watching it. What on earth am i doing wrong ?? Any help greatly appreciated. |

Anonymous | Oh my... Surround sound from regular cable or regular broadcast TV..... 1st some rules... Rule #1 Your TV should be used as a source as a last resort, even then it must be stereo. Rule #2 Your way better off using a stereo Hi-fi VCR as your cable / Broadcast tuner Rule #3 The channel must really be broadcasting in stereo / surround sound Rule #4 If you using your TV on channel 3 stop doing so. Rule #5 Use the AV connections from your device to either your display or your Audio Visual Video switching reciever. Then to the various AV inputs on your display. Rule #6 If you do not use a stereo hi-fi VCR your TV must be stereo and the channel / program must also be stereo / surround sound in nature and you must connect the AV L/R audio out from the TV to an analog input on your AVR. (audio visual reciever) best of luck all of you.... |
|
Anonymous | I'll only add that if you use a Cable Box, then AV video to your display or AVR NOT Coax to and your display on channel 3, and digital sound if it has it to your AVR, if no digital sound than the L/R RCA analog to an analog input on your AVR. |

aqwert Unregistered guest | THis message goes to Berny "Project 6" I was reading through the forum trying to get some extra info. on a surround sound system I just bought. I was not able to by the reciever but I did by the 5.1 channel system for a really cheap price. I bought from a guy with the "inventory" story. Bernie when you mentioned the same story I heard from the guy I became worried. The system sounds fine and it's obvious that all I need is the 5.1 DVD player. Should I be worried about this system? Hopefully you can shed some light on this thank you |

DK Unregistered guest | Guys, this note is for those who wants to hook up TV w/o audio output to Hifi. In case your TV has a SCART input (maybe not that common in the US)- you just need to buy a thing (sort of adapter - TA PG2R for example in France). It converts SCART input into 2 RCA audio outputs. |

Toronto Unregistered guest | What a helpful site this is. Both my JVC DVD player and new Atlanta digital cable box have 1 digital audio out. Guess what? - My Sony surround receiver has only 1 digital audio in (more RCAs than you can shake a stick at though and 1 optical). 2 questions: - can you split the audio ins to receive both sources? Can you send a surround signal through RCAs? Thanks for any help. |

PeZ Unregistered guest | I've bought myself a 5.1 surround sound system. It's an AGK Nordic Home Theater Audio System, model: CMK-3050. Seems perfec. But I honestly can't figure out how the hell to set it up. I have the five speakers all plugged into the subwoofer. The woofer then has three small sockets: front in, back in, and center in. One takes in sound for the front speaker/woofer. One takes in for the two front side speakers. And one takes in sound for the two back speakers. Makes sense. There are three (simply colour coded) wires that go into these sockets. At the other end of these, they each sprout into two plugs, in each case one is red, one is white. Y'know, just like all sound plugs: one for left sound, one for right. These adaptors can be taken off to beomce singular plugs: which apparently plug into nothing anyway. The thing is, say I want to plug it into my DVD player. There's a white socket and a red socket on the back of it. Therefore, I can plug a white and a red plug into it. This means that I can have any two of my speakers working at a time. Not much good. I'm left with 4 more plugs, that are gagging for input. So, what the hell?! Where do these plugs go? Do I need somekind of extra adapter that means they all go into one handy little twin plug? Or is my DVD player just not modern enough? What's more, I actually inted to get my PS2's sound running through. I can't even regular sound from that, since there are no sockets to plug my plugs into. And it says that the console is surround sound compatible. What am I missing? |

Unregistered guest | Well all you have to do is hook the tv to the receiver in. Then hook the dvd to the tv. If you have a digital cord like optical hook that from the dvd player to the receiver. Also some TVs have more inputs and outputs than others. Like mine I have a cd player, dvd player, and playstation 2 hooked up to my system and I can hear it all (including tv in surround)through my system. |

Bronze Member Username: Thx_3417Bournemouth, Dorset United Kingdom Post Number: 49 Registered: May-05 | John, Hi there do you have a VCR, if so plug the scart lead into the back of it, it may out but the signal to the TV, maybe, or use the rca phone leads on the DVD to the VCR, find the video out put signal on the TV along with the DVD signal been accompanied with it. If all fails, look for an phone to RF converter, I haven't used one put that may work to your advantage. And if that one doesn't work hunt down a AVR audio video receiver with all the ins and outs and enough power sink the British navy. Ashley |

New member Username: MastroPost Number: 2 Registered: May-05 | I just purchased an RCA HDTV 52" television. I have an AMW 5.1 home theater surround sound system. My problem is that when I play a dvd the sound is in surround sound but I want to watch regular tv and HBO movies, news, sitcoms, etc.. in surround sound as well. How do I get the television regular stations in surround sound. The sound only comes out of the center, subwoofer, front left and front right speakers, it doesn't come out of the rear left and rear right speakers. My cable box is a scientific atlanta (bright house cable network). Before I got this new tv I had my other tv (magnavox older one) and it was just fine as far as getting all cable channels in surr. sound. PLEASE HELP!! Thank you ahead of time!! |

New member Username: MaxgPiedmont, Al USA Post Number: 1 Registered: Jun-05 | Need help in connecting TV and Surround Sound Home Theater system. TV is RCA 32" HDTV, (D32F750T); Surround Sound Home Theater System is SONY 600-Watt Home-Theater w/Progressive Scan DVD Player (HT-4800DP). My existing hook-up is: local TV cable connected to digital cable box (standard digital cable, not HDTV cable); from there to VCR; from VCR to TV. NEED TO: go from "TV" to "Surround Sound Home Theater (with A/V Rec. and multi-disc DVD/CD player and Sub-Woofer). Objective: to obtain highest quality "video" and "audio" thru surround sound system when watching TV (by itself), listening to (FM Audio or CD audio) and watching DVD. Followed instruction manual but only getting "surround sound" through front, middle, rear & sub-woofer speakers when I use the "SOUND TEST" function on the A/V REC remote control. During this test, the system travels from "speaker-to-speaker" while allowing me setup options on how I want the sound to come from each speaker. After the Sound Test: when listening to FM Stereo (thru A/V Rec.), CD or playing DVD, sound comes through TV speakers and Surround Front speakers (l/r), but have "no" sound through front middle or rear surround speakers (l/r) or sub-woofer; and when playing DVD the "movie" is not coming thru the the TV. HELP!!! Need someone to provide an "easy" to understand set of "connecting" instructions that covers my components (mentioned above) or direct to me to a website where I can go to get these instructions? Many thanks. |

Unregistered guest | Hello, My girlfriend has an Audiovox DVD player. She has the red, white, and yellow cables plugged into the TV correctly. We only get special effects sound, no vocal sound from people talking in the movie dvd's. We have tried all the options on the setup screen with the DVD player. Nothing changes, what can we do? Help please. |
