I have the exact same problem - I have connected the RCA cables but it's just not working....this is very frustrating. Anyone who has a solution - pls contribute! Regards, Justin
If you are trying to play a cd, you must manually tell the unit to play it in surround sound. Cd audio defaults to stereo only. Does it do the same thing if you are playing a dvd? If it happens on dvd's as well, then something in the speaker setup menu is wrong.
Good--sound when playing a DVD means either a setting is wrong and it can be in the set or a box if connected---it also means the audio output circuit is good.
Worst case is where sound is developed by the set's tuner there may be a problem but check all audio settings first---
go to the DVD screen and hit home button, scrool to the "EZ" icon and it will say AUX or OPTICAL. Chose OPTICAL and swich back to cable and you should have sound. This will work, and no the manuel does not tell you this and most techs have no idea. Best luck
RCA cables (audio) ( possibly Line out converter )
Your television is either going to need Video Out, or if you have a VCR or VCR/DVD combo connected to your television. Assuming that you have a VCR combo, the way your tv should be set up is on the back of the vcr combo, your cable will run into the coaxial IN and then you have another cable running from Coaxial OUT to your tv. If you have it set up like this, then the DVD / VCR combo will have RCA Audio / video out ports on the back side. Run RCA cables from the DVD / VCR output to the surround sound INPUT. If you already have your inputs in use on the surround sound, Radioshack has RCA splitters for about $1.50 each, you might need to pick some of them up so you dont have to go through the trouble of reaching behind it all the time to disconnect and reconnect whatever your trying to connect. Now if you dont have the DVD / VCR combo, then your TV "MUST" have RCA Outputs. if it doesnt, then the only way that your going to have your surround sound connected to your tv is to take the TV apart and get a RCA "Line output converter" and wire it to the left / right channels of your tv. From what I've read, i think this is what your trying to do so I hope this helps
What type of plug from the TV are you hooking up to the sound system? Its has to be a HDMI or a scart. If its not and your using the rca red and white. The reciver has to be on the synth surrond setting or look in the owners manual, it will tell you what setting the reciver has to be on when using a non surround set or hookup
