Connecting to home theatre system but is not recognized

trying to connect to sony home theater system but says its not supported.  It states that ipod classic is supported.  Is there a way to update my older ipod?

Connect the audio output from your Mac to a line in jack on the home stereo.
OR...
Get an AirPort Extpress.
OR...
Get an Apple TV.

  • Connecting LG home theatre system to xbox

    "I'm looking at a blue ray home theater system (LG LHB953). I want to make sure there's a way to have my xbox play its sound through the blue ray speaker system. Here is a link to the picture of the back of the blue ray player (http://shopper.cnet.com/sc/33656614-2-440-DT4.jpg) and the TV is a toshiba 40rv525r (If you message me I can send you a link with a pic that shows the back of that too). Is there a way for me to play the xbox and tv sound through the blue ray player even though it doesn't have an extra hdmi port? For example could an audio component cable connect the two? thanks for your time"

    Nope, there shouldn't be any need to have anything going from the xbox to the receiver, unless you had additional hdmi ports in it, which you dont.
    Here is the optical cables BB sells, sorted low to high in price.
    Anything i say is not a direct response from Best Buy or Geek Squad. I just post on here to add my insight.

  • How do i connect my iPod classic to my home theatre system?

    I'd like to play my iPod through my LG home theatre system but am sure how to connect it. There's a USB and microphone port on the front.

    Hi Twofishdan,
    I think that the easiest way to connect the iPod is via an aux-to-aux cable, which you plug in to the 3.5mm aux jack (headphone/microphone port) in your home cinema system, and the other end in the iPod's headphone jack.
    You could also try using your normal Apple 30 pin sync/charge cable, plugging it in the USB slot and connecting your iPod, but this might not work if the home theatre wasn't programmed to connect Apple devices via USB, therefore it's a trial and error process which you might be lucky to work for you.
    Good Luck,
    Stefan

  • Apple TV won't connect properly to Sony home theatre system using hdmi cable.

    Using an HDMI cable to the port on the home theatre system I can get sound, but the picture is intermittent. It Comes on for 1second, goes of for 10 seconds.
    If I connect directly to the TV using the HDMI to DVI-D cable it works, but because I am using a Fujitsu plasmavision it is a monitor only with no speakers.
    Would really like to get this to work and don't understand why the video signal is intermittent from the blueray player. Other inputs into the player through the HDMI port work OK (such as a set top box).

    Just installed my Vizio SoundBar with my new LG TV & Apple TV 2... The trick to get the Apple TV 2 to send audio to the Soundbar is on the Apple TV Menu under audio change it to 16 bit. Boom it works.

    Hello...I was just gifted a new Sony BDV-E390 Blu-ray Disc/DVD Home Theatre System. Now I am searching for the best TV to use with it. I don't know the most about technology by any means. I do know that I am looking between the 46" and 55" range for size however. The Blu-ray player is 3D ready it says and I first and foremost do not want to have any feature not able to be used on my new TV. Do I need a 3D TV? I understand that the 1080p TV's are the best I think and the 120hz as well. I guess the "bigger is better" rule works here? Any suggestions for the best TV or at least features to a TV that would work best with my new Theatre System??
    Thanks in advance!
    Best bang for buck TV right now is the Panasonic ST50 series plasma.

  • Bravia Sync does not work with Sony Bravia XBR-55X900B and BDV-N8100W Bluray 3D Home Theatre System.

    Bravia Sync does not function with my Sony Bravia XBR-55X900B and Sony BDV-N8100W Bluray 3D Home Theatre System.  The Sony Bravia XBR-55X900B does not list the Sony BDV-N8100W on the Bravia Sync device list.  Does anyone have an explanation or solution for this?

    Please use a component cable.  With either RCA or optical for audio.  That is the quickest fix.  For current HDMI issues. 
    1.7 upgrade has been known to fix most of the HDMI issues.  Verizon is working diligently to roll out img 1.7.

  • Mac Mini chirps - connected to home theatre

    I have a Mac Mini, mid 2010, that I use as a media server and it's connected to my home theatre. It currently runs Mac OS X v10.9.5 and as long as I've had it, no matter what version of Mac OS, there's an occasional chirp. It sounds like the first note of a wolf whistle. The sound comes over the sound system and only occurs when playing iTunes Internet radio. I don't recall ever hearing it while listening to any of my own music and I have a huge collection.
    I've turned off notifications for almost everything, thinking it was perhaps a notification causing the problem. Strangely, I still get notifications of what song is playing on the Internet radio station but I've not heard the chirp when I saw a notification display.
    For what it's worth, I usually use my MacBook Pro to control the Mac Mini via screen sharing. Also, because of the large collection of media, I have a 3 TB hard drive connected that I designated as the location of my iTunes library.
    This a quite annoying and thank heavens it doesn't happen while watching movies via iTunes directly or through my Apple TV.
    I've read some threads on this site that suggested HD problems but that's highly unlikely in this case since the sound comes over my home theatre system speakers and I've absolutely no issues with the Mac Mini's operation. Since the demands aren't high for the Mac, given it's use, I don't in
    Any thoughts?

    How connected? If HDMI and some other ways then you have to use TV's volume control

  • I neeed a help in installing my home theatre system ..............plz hlp somebuddy

    i wanted to connect my sony Blu-ray Disc/DVD Home Theatre System BDV-E970W to my LCD bravia tv. when i go to my wire connection i.e (input).I click on HDMI slot 1 which i connected my home theatre but there is no display appearing not a sound and not a pictue.i connected it to other HDMI port but the condition is the same,then i checked my HDMI cable with my laptop the cable does good...so i m bit confused...

    The BDV-E970W is not a product sold in the U.S. market. I would recommend checking the "troubleshooting" section of your owner's manual, or contacting your local home theatre store or your country's Sony Helpline for further support.

  • How iPhone  controls my Bose home theatre system ACROSS THE STREET!!!

    1) I purchased an Aiport Express
    2) I installed the free version of "Signal" http://www.alloysoft.com/
    3) Finally hook everything up and turn on the Signal App & iTunes & BAM!!! your friends now envy you.....
    Note: be sure to click the correct setting ("Computer" or "Airport") at the bottom of iTunes once you have it all hooked up & running, you may have to configure a port to get Signal running which is very easy.. look on Signals support page for instruction.

  • How can I play my ITunes music stored on my IMac via Apple TV through my home theatre system and control it from my IMac?

    My ITunes library is stored on my IMac which is connected to B&W desktop speakers. My music system is connected to my IMac via USB through a Benchmark DAC. I use Pure Music software and am able to simultaneously play music on my IMac in my study and my main music system in the living room.
    My home theatre system is connected by Apple TV via the home network to the IMac. I can access my ITunes library from the TV using the Apple TV remote control. But when I try to play music from the computer and stream to the TV / home theatre, I am unable to make the connection. I tried activating Airplay, but I still cannot get the music to play.
    I would appreciate any advice on how to set this up.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I subsequently realized that my Airplay settings on ITunes are ok. The problem is with the settings on Pure Music. I still havent figured this out. When i stream using just ITunes, it works fine, but when I play music using ITunes / Pure Magic, I still have an issue with Apple TV.

  • Sony HTSS360 home theatre system & Apple TV issue

    I picked up this system yesterday and connected the Apple TV via hdmi but got no audio or video. Does it matter what brand of hdmi cable? Are there cables that are copyright compliant and some that aren't? Is this the issue or something else?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Does your home theatre system have an HDMI or optical input.

  • Macbook 2008 sound to Home Theatre System which only has optical audio.

    Trying to connect my macbook (2008) to panasonic home theatre system which only has optical audio. Tried using toslink optical audio cable with 3.5mm jack converter but still no sound, any ideas please? Thanks

    If I understand what you are saying then yes you are correct. If you want the sound from your tv to come out of your home theatre amplifier run an optical caple from the TV out to one of the inputs on your receiver. Then select that source when you want to listen to the tv. In order to get 5.1 sound though the program source will have to be broadcast in dolby digital. Other wise it will most likely be dolby pro logig or stereo depending on how your receiver is set up.
    It will probably also output sound for your blu ray player as well through the tv because hdmi carries audio to your tv. However the best possible sound will come from hooking the hdmi cable directly up to your receiver and selecting that source during dvd playback. Which is the way you have it if I understand correctly.

  • Sony HT-SS2300 Home Theatre System Problem w/Video signal on TV Monitior

    My Panasonic HD/Plasma TV will not pick up the HDMI video signal coming from the home theatre system. The TV monitor picture blinks in and out. I have a Comcast HD box (Motorola) What do I need to do to fix. I had the HDMI cable from the Motorola box to the HDMI Sat In connection. I then ran a HDMI out connection from the Home Theatre system to the TV HDMI in. Is ther a work around?
    I also purchased a Samsung blue ray disc player. Can I still use the HDMI connection to the Home Theatre system from the Blue Ray HDMI and the the HDMI out to the HDMI input to the TV? This is getting confusing?
    Please help.

    Ok I feel your collective pain, really. We have apple tv 2 with optical out to amp and hdmi into the tv. My wife and I both have iPads, iPhones, Mac book pro etc. sometimes the volume control would be on apple remote (at bottom, left to right slider) and we would be punching the air saying how much we love this technology. And then.......often the volume control would disappear then we couldn't get it working at all today. I have just gone through all our devices and changed the apple user name and password to my wife's user name on iTunes.....BANG.....everything is working perfect now. We have each others iTunes and apple tv now on all remotes WITH volume control. This would explain why it was so intermittent. Try this and see if it makes a difference. Even if you have a device, say iPad, that you didn't think you would use as a remote, make sure you put in the same apple I'd and password across all devices. To change it on iPad go to settings then music or iPod on ipad1 and use the same username.
    Good luck and happy tunes.
