The DVD player plays, but the sound is staticky. Speaker works fine when on internet, and Itunes. We only have the problem when watching DVD's. The drive sounds funny, but plays the video just fine.

Download div x codec and also update your video drivers.

A couple of things I would check first..

Obviously the settings on the movie audio settings themselves.. the default may be dts or some such thing.

Next.. open the control panel. clik on Sound.. make sure you check all the settings.. clik on the speaker icon and clik configure..

Also check the settings via your sound card software interface.. it sounds like something is set to something other than simple Stereo.. like 5.1 or 7.1 etc.

I doubt it's the dvd player itself.. or the dvd.. more than likely it is a simple conflict in one of the above settings

Good luck

If you are not working in Mac OS environment, itunes may not play. usually Mac, owner of itunes overly protects it.

there should be an input line of just audio cable hookups (one red and one white) that you have to run and an output cable from your tv audio output of just red and white. make sure the tv says output or line out and the surround sound system says input or line in

Connect RCA Red-White audio cable to INPUT of DAV-HDX500 and hook it to TV AUDIO OUT pins at back of TV.
Now select INPUT in DAV-HDX500 to get TV sound in Sony system speakers.

When watching TV or VHS the sound should be stereo and therefor come out of the the 2 front speakers. I suspect you now have sound out of the left front and the center speaker which indicates you connected the center speaker to the right front speakerterminal and the right front to the center terminal.

Just check if all speakers are connected to the correspondent speakerterminal.

If this is correct and the problem persists, try to connect another speaker to the right front terminal to see of the terminal or speaker is not working properly. If another speaker does work on the same connection, your right speaker might be damaged which might not be heard when listening to 5.1 because of the surround sound.

It is unlikely that this is a problem with your speakers more likely that it is a problem with the DVD player itself. I would recomend trying another DVD player.

try a CDROM cleaning disk.

Yes what you heard is correct,look for center speaker connection.If it is correct then connect it thru coaxel or digital out and see.
