How to setup a sound bar on LED TV 42SL417U

So I've been trying to figure out how to setup a sound bar that uses AUX Left and Right cables onto my LED TV 42SL417U. I've been trying to connect the cables into every possible port on the TV and nothing works. What do I do???

Hi -
What make/model of sound bar are you trying to connect?
The only "outputs" for sound to an external device from this TV are the Optical and HDMI connections. Page 18 and 19 of the Owners Manual talk about connecting to an external audio source.
Hope this helps.

  • How do i fix the sound on an iPhone 4S? When i play music the sound bar at the bottom disappeared and when i try to adjust sound with the buttons on the side, nothing happens. Also the sound in my apps is not working.

    The sound isn't working. And it also does not appear, when i try to adjuct it with the buttons the sound bar doesn't appear and when i try playing music at the bottom the sound bar disappeared. How do I fix this?

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.  Have you gone through ALL of these troubleshooting steps?
    If you have gone through all the troubleshooting steps and you're still having problems, you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

When I try to connect without a code (0000) there is a connection but it´s not possible to use the bar as a stereo headset in the bluetooth menue.
    The Sound Bar should be ready to play because I can use it with my iPhone and on Win-notebooks.B

    It seems that my bluetooth driver crashed or anything. Tried it with an other MacBook and worked fine. Called the Apple- and LG-Support.
    The Apple-Supporter told my to reinstall my OS X. Crashed. I´ll start a complete new installation today.

  • How to setup IIS to play sound ? How to created .raw? Where Doccument?

    I programming with IPPhone for 3 ys, but so surprised, there is less more less about how to setup the IIS to test RTP (or something like streaming). Please anyone can help to provide information about this. My customer want to Broadcast a wav file to announce some thing, how can I do it? I search all cisco doc but no any infomr

    There are 3rd party software out there which can do a much better job at broadcasting wave file, send live page, text notification, weather alerts, etc.
    If you want to develop yourself, you need to use RTPTx, RTPRx and CiscoIPPhoneExecute objects from SDK. To broadcast audio to a multicast, there is also sample code available. The problem is managing the phone list and groups and providing an intuitive interface for users and sys admins. I do have some sample code that we used in PhoneTop Messenger product, but it is all in Java and needs a Windows box to host it.

  • Sound bar or Home Theater

    I have a new Sharp 60" 1080 LED TV, very nice TV very Happy with it, but like most TV's the sound could be improved.  I have my HD cable box, Sony PS3 and Xbox 360 hooked up to it.  Playstation primarily for Blue-ray, 360 for gaming.  I thought about picking up a sound bar for the TV to improve the sound.  When you look at spending at least $350 for a less expensive sound bar, for a small increase I could get a home theater in a box and elimnate the VERY noisy fan on the PS3 for movies.  I am open to opinions with reasons... what am I missing on my thought process?

    Hello,
    It all depends on what you want to do. It also depends on your room. If you are going to have a surround sound system, you will need to think about where your rear speakers are going to be placed and if you are going to buy one of the HTIBS(home theater in a box systems), will you buy one that has rear speakers that can be connected to a wireless module? If you do not want to run wires across your room, then you will want to look at Samsung, LG or Sony as the brands that offer systems with a wireless rear speaker option. Also keep in mind that these units have built in blu-ray players and all of their speakers are proprietary, so if anything was to go wrong with any part of the unit, you would not be able to easily replace that part without having to either ship the whole system or replace the entire system. HTIBS offer quick and affordable home theater solutions, but they typically do not last as long as separate component setups, which would be a real home theater receiver and a set of  separate speakers. They have limited performance, but that is a separate issue altogether. Also, a real receiver will allow you to connect all of your devices and get true 5.1 surround sound out of them if you have the speakers connected to the receiver. If you buy an HTIB you will be limited with your connection options since most of them do not have more than 2  audio in connections and it seems you have 3 devices that you would like to get surround sound from(PS3, Xbox, cable box). But if you buy one with a built in blu ray player, you could theoretically unhook the ps3 since you indicated that it is primarily for blu ray watching anyway. That would leave you with the 360 which you could hook up through an HDMI In on the unit and your cable box which you could connect via digital optical cable. This would allow for you to have the connections you need, but if you ever want to add anything later on, this would be your peak.
    By having a device connected to your TV and then connecting your TV to the surround sound unit, you are automatically going to downmix the material to a stereo(2.0) sound instead of a 5.1 sound and you will not be getting true surround sound through all of the speakers in the HTIB. In order to get true 5.1, the devices must be directly connected to your surround sound unit or receiver.
    On the other side, having a soundbar will eliminate the issue of downmixing, since the soundbar is only two speakers and a subwoofer in most cases anyway, you will not have to worry about the downmixing process. 
    So to sum it up, if you want true surround sound and have the room for extra speakers and possibly speaker wire, I'd say go for the HTIB and see how you like it, especially if you can get one that has wireless rear speakers. As long as you understand the limited connectivity and you also understand that a separate component system with a real AV receiver will give you superior performance and options, I'd say you are educated enough to make a decision. 
    Also, head into your local best buy and listen to some of the HTIBS they have on display. You can even bring your own CD of demo material to see how the speakers sound to your ears. To a lot of folks, they offer enough performance for the money they are willing to spend. For some, they don't quite do it. It's all subjective and it's all up to you, because at the end of the day, your ears are the only ones that matter when making a purchase for your use.

  • MacMini, Vizio TV, & Sound Bar

    I've been running a MacMini through my Vizio TV via an HDMI connection and using it as my home entertainment hub. I recently purchased a Vizio Sound Bar + wireless subwoofer from Costco, hoping to beef up my audio. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to force the TV (or the MacMini) to recognize the sound bar.
    I've tried connecting the sound bar to the TV via another HDMI cable as well as using a 3.5mm RCA cable that came with the sound bar, but no matter what configurations I've tried the sound from my computer will only play through the television's internal speakers, not the sound bar.
    The mac mini's sound preferences only recognizes the TV as an output source.
    Hoping somebody on these forums has figured out how to get all these components to play nicely with each other.

    I ended up purchasing a digital optical cable and an adapter that allows me to plug into headphone jack in the back of the MacMini (about $3 total from Amazon). This seems to be the best way to get solid digital audio (much better than running the optical cable from the TV to the Sound bar).
    Final setup looks like this:
    MACMINI <---HDMI---> TV
    MACMINI <----Optical Cable + Adapter----> Soundbar

  • Samsung sound bar connection

    Is it possible to connect a samsung sound bar and a headphones set to the back of the Samsung TV?  I can only find one audio input.  I called the Samsung tech service people and was told quickly that it cannot be done.  So how can I have both the sound bar and the headphones connected?

    No you cannot plug the Samsung soundbar and headphones into most TV's together. You don't state whether you have normal headphopnes or wireless or a model, nor do you mention the model of your TV.
    The soundbar assuming the model you have uses an optical output, and we will assume you are using a headphone mini cable. When the headphones are plugged in should take priority over the soundbar.
    Give me the models of the tv, soundbar, what kind of headphones, and the devices going to the tv so we can help.
    Now some TV's from Samsung like the LED's have a headphone output. The matching soundbar does have a headphone input. You could plug the soundbar to the tv via that and have the headphones in at the same time. See tv out below and the splitter

  • Sound bar for TV

    I have a Samsung LED TV with a super picture.  The tv is 2 years old.  The only complaint I have with it is the sound.  It seems like its muffled, mainly because the sound comes out of the back of TV and reflects off the wall.  I was thinking maybe a sound bar would help this.
    Anyone have a sound bar?  Would it project the sound better?  How does it connect?  Does it require power and does it get turned on and off when I power the TV on and off?
    Thanks, Jim

    np, glad it helped.  Not sure on this one ... haven't tried it.  I think you'll still have to program your remote to control the sound.

  • How to setup the drill down on union report

    Hi,
    I'm setting the union report.
    I want to set the drill down to another report.
    But I can't setup it.
    Would you please tell me how to setup.
    Thank you.

    Hi Hemlatha
    In Crystal Reports, to prevent the ability to drill down into a subreport when published on the Web, add a text object that is filled with blank spaces, created by pressing the 'Space Bar' and 'Enter' for line returns, to eclipse the subreport.
    This workaround is applicable only to subreports that does not grow in size. For example, subreports that display only a chart or graph.
    Steps to Add a Text Object over a Subreport
    1. In the Crystal Reports Designer of the main report, insert a text object over the subreport.
    2. Resize the text object to be the same size or a little larger than the subreport object on the main report.
    3. Fill the text object with blank spaces created by pressing the 'Space Bar' and 'Enter'. This is necessary because resizing a text object without
    the blank spaces will not maintain its size when it has been published on the Web.
    ====================
    NOTE:
    You can format the text object with a hyperlink to another report, another file or a URL.
    ====================
    Now, when the Crystal report is previewed on the Web, the text object that fully eclipses the subreport will prevent the ability to drill down into it.

    Most YouTube content requires the Flash plugin which is unrelated to either iPhone or IMovie.

  • Problem connecting Apple TV2 to projector when passing through Sony Sound Bar

    I'm having problems getting my Apple TV2 to work now that I'm passing it through my new Sony HT-CT150 Sound Bar to my Epson Megaplex Projector MG-850 (720p) Projector. I keep getting a "Not Supported" error on my projector - as opposed to a "No Signal" error which is what happens if I was to unplug the Apple TV.
    My HDMI cables are all new and latest specs. I can connect the Apple TV directly to projector with either cable and it works fine. I have a 6 ft HDMI connecting the Apple TV to one of the Sony Sound Bar's 3 HDMI inputs and then a 40 ft. HDMI running from the sound bar's HDMI out to the projector's single HDMI input. Oddly, if I reverse the cables, it seems to work. Same two cables - just switching which one is connected to the Apple TV and which is connected to the projector. (I need the length to get to where my projector is positioned. Though I might be able to get by with a 30 ft. cable if length might be the issue.)
    Anyway I think it must have something to do with the HDMI handshake or the lenth of the cables but don't know enough about it and have no idea why switching which cable comes first would fix the problem.

    Ok,  I will ask the question in another way... My apple tv has one hdmi, and it goes to my hd projecter.. But projecter has no speakers, and as a result I've no sound at the moment. I am looking for a clear direction to go in, to solve lack the of any sound.. My only option seems to be, using the optical out from the apple tv.. I don't have  any equipment with this conecter. And I've never used optical before..   If i buy an, optical to twin phono converter and then I can plug into a large powered speaker I've got in my living room. And I will have big sound easily..?? Do I have any other reasonable options for optical enabled speakers, or AirPlay speakers or something simple I'm not aware of that will give me sound easily.. I don't want a messy 5:1 system, my house is very tidy, and I want to keep it that way. .  Only having this optical out is frustrating, and I need to get my head round the options I have.   Anyone understand from experience how to use the optical apple tv out.  Also, not  using anything but apple tv, no dvds, or tv , just apple tv and my ipad.. Is very quiet in my home right now though.  Ric

  • How to setup a Seamless Transaction Gateway with PayPal (Australia Only)

    I've been working with the team at PayPal to allow BC Partners to set up a cost effective way to setup a Seamless Transaction Shopping Cart Process on their BC eCommerce website without the need for a 3rd Party Merchant Provider like eWay or Secure Pay or their bank. This is designed for entry level businesses who want to control their setup costs and keep all funds in one place (PayPal).
    Currently BC doesn't support Paypal's Payments Pro plan in Australia so you are limited with either a non-seamless payment process or using a 3rd Party Merchant provider with can be costly.
    Without going into too much detail, the setup on PayPal's side is a mixture of a couple of plans, and is a little complicated however through our discussions we come to an arrangement of any additional fee's associated with the setup being waived since this is more so of a technical workaround than anything else.
    Basically PayPal is the merchant provider, and the customer doesn't leave your website when making a purchase through the Shopping Cart. The setup is only $25/month plus transaction fees of between 1.1 to 2.4% + 30 cents depending on the number of payments (this is just an initial guide and confirmed on your discussion with the PayPal).
    Because the setup involves quite a few steps and departments I've arranged a contact that will fast track this process and is familiar with this unique setup.
    How to setup PayPal for a Seamless Transaction Process
    Sign up for PayPal Business account  Timeframe: <20 minutes
    Email Peter [email protected] or phone (02) 8288 0333. CC me [email protected] or mention my name so he can correctly setup the process and apply the discounted pricing.
    Prepare for the Verification process for the PayPal account (Proof of ID, Proof of Address, Business documents etc).
    Wait for Account Verification. You will be informed to setup both PayFlow Pro* and Website Payments Pro (*the PayFlow payment will be waived as mentioned previously). Timeframe: up to 5 business days depending on swift supply of required documentation.
    Wait for your Billing Agreement for Website Payments Pro once application has been approved. Sometimes they will receive a phone call to verify details of the application. Timeframe: Up to 72 hours
    Login into your PayPal account to accept the Billing Agreement.
    Notify Peter once the Billing Agreement has been accepted so your PayFlow Pro can be linked to your Website Payments Pro
    Login into your Business Catalyst Website and navigate e-Commerce > Payment Gateways
    Select PayPal PayFlow Payment Gateway (..,AU, ..)
    Enter your Username, PayPal Password, and add VSA as the Partner
    Setting up PayPal Payments
    If you also want to make payments via PayPal (ie, with the customers Pay Pal account) you can continue with setting up the PayPal Website Standard secure with your PayPal Customer ID and your PDT Token which you'll need to setup in your PayPal Account.
    If you have any questions give me or Peter an email. I'll continue to update this document as I go.
    Please note this setup is current for Australian Pay Pal Customers only. This process does not support re-occurring billing.

    Dennis, sounds like you are having issues connecting to your network. Here is what we are going to do. 
    On your first question,  and second question for that matter, I would suggest using a WPA password. Our printers doe not associate with the other types as well as WPA. You should be able to do that, though I have not personally set up a router that way to have experience in how it will react with the networked devices. As for the issues you are having, once the settings are all in the correct order I am going to suggest we connect the printer to the network through the computer. 
    What you will do is install the printer using a USB connection, then re-run the setup software. Here there should be an option for USB to  Wireless. This will be the easiest way to be sure that all the settings are correctly transferred over.
