Check to see if audio output is set for HDMI. </p> http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/topic/user-help-question#post-108 Thu, 11 Mar 2010 02:23:58 +0000 mrHTN 108@http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/ <p>I have just lost audio and want to reconnect whole system.

That's odd. A normal connection would be Sky HD -&gt; Receiver (cinema surround in your case) -&gt; to HDTV.</p> <p>I would connect the Sky HD HDMI out to the HDMI in on the TV. Then, the optical out on the TV to the Cinema optical in. Connecting it this way would prevent lip sync issues that sometimes arise. Another way is to connect the optical out on the Sky HD straight to the Cinema surround.</p> <p>Hope this helps. </p> http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/topic/connections#post-105 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 08:47:48 +0000 petefitz61 105@http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/ <p>Yeah, TV has 4 HDMI imputs, 2 scart and 1 Digital Audio Out.<br /> Cinema Surround has 5 speakers &amp; subwoofer with 1 HDMI out port &amp; optical in port.<br /> I'm not sure if I HDMI from Cinema to Sky HD or to TV. Ditto for optical audio. </p> http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/topic/connections#post-104 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 17:50:04 +0000 mrHTN 104@http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/ <p>Does your TV have any HDMI inputs? Should be a direct connection if it does. For optical, you shouldn't need to connect it to your TV since its sound only. Does your home cinema system have speakers connected to it? </p> http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/topic/connections#post-103 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 09:13:24 +0000 petefitz61 103@http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/ <p>How do I connect my satellite receiver to my home cinema system &amp; my TV using:<br /> (i) HDMI cable<br /> (ii) Optical Audio cable?<br /> Do I need splitters and/or switches? </p> http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/topic/hdmi-amp-optical#post-98 Thu, 21 Jan 2010 03:37:40 +0000 photobuff 98@http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/ <p>the consumerist did an artical a while back on &quot;do coat hangers sound as good as monster cables.&quot; some funny stuff. <a href="http://www.interiorexpress.com">home theater seating</a> </p> http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/topic/anybody-get-anything-fun-for-the-holidays#post-97 Sat, 09 Jan 2010 02:51:34 +0000 matto 97@http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/ <p>I got a Wii and an wirless-N router </p> http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/topic/anybody-get-anything-fun-for-the-holidays#post-96 Sat, 02 Jan 2010 18:58:41 +0000 mrHTN 96@http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/ <p>As usual, Christmas passed quickly this year. I hope everyone had a good holidays and found some HDTVs, blu-ray players, or smartphones underneath the Christmas tree. I didn’t get anything that exciting, but I did get a really nice printer. It’s a Canon MX860 networked printer and its significantly better than what I had before. I also received a few blu-rays including Star Trek, Hangover, and District 9. </p> http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/topic/no-sound-on-input-1#post-95 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 19:43:52 +0000 hdtvnoob 95@http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/ <p>This is the current setup.

It would be good if you had a sound card that has RCA output. Otherwise you will have to use the little jack plug in with a connector to change it to RCA jack.<br /> The computer can't push enough power to those speakers. Look at your PC speakers, even they have internal amplifier (the computer isn't powering them) they have to plug into the wall or a USB port to get power to the internal amplifier.<br /> <a href="http://samsunglcds.net/">home theater price</a> </p> http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/topic/hdmi-amp-optical#post-93 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 11:20:57 +0000 marislexia 93@http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/ <p>I've read over and over that there is absolutely no difference between quality in HDMI cables-they all transmit the same information at the same rate.<a href="http://samsunglcds.net/">home theater price</a> </p> http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/topic/no-sound-on-input-1#post-92 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 02:25:22 +0000 mrHTN 92@http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/ <p>How did you connect your cable box? I'm guessing there is setting on the cable box you have to change. </p> http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/topic/no-sound-on-input-1#post-91 Fri, 11 Dec 2009 00:11:55 +0000 hdtvnoob 91@http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/ <p>I have a JVC HD-52886G, a JVC TH-C7 Home Theater System, and a PSP. The trouble is that I can get audio for the home theater system and the PSP but nothing from the cable tv. The cable box is in from the wall and only a video out to the TV. Doesn't seem to make a differnce with the audio connected. My thought is that the cable has no way to talk to the tv but I don't have any other inputs on the HTS. I'm out of ideas. I know this is a bit vague but any suggestions? </p>
