CANT connect DVD player to '5.1 inspire' via DIGITAL CABLE!! arrrg!

I have a "CyberHome CH-DVD 300S" DVD player and a "Inspire 5.1 5200" Creative speakersI want to connect the DVD player directly to the speakers system and maintain my 5.1 sound. Both the dvd player and creative speakers are capable.
Heres my problem
The 'digital coaxial' jack that comes from the DVD player is 'Composite RCA' style and the digital input jack on the creative speakers is '1/8th inch' or headphone jack style. NO PROBLEM nothing radio shack cant fix. ... I plug it all up and turn my dvd player to output digital signal and nothing happens.
Are both of these runing different protocols?
Surely someone has attempted this.
Thanks in advanced.

My setup writes DVD's in almost ANY format. Still SUX! But... yes, what she said. You'll always need to decode and, if I'm thinking correctly :smileyindifferent: you must specifically have digital speakers to "go" digital on yer settings, et.al. At the very least you'll need an RF Modulator just to hook up to cable box (or sattelite, etc.). Keep your Brave Face on for this one-it may take some extra dollars to achieve your goals. Good Luck, and... we're watching. G!

  • How to connect DVD player to FIOS TV (with standard TV)

    The Verizon techs installed my FIOS system. I already have the router, DVR and standard TV connected and working. How do I add a DVD player to the mix?
    I found wiring diagrams for my FIOS DVR, but they do not include my configuration. Here is what I found:
    http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/FiOSTV/Receivers/Wiring+Diagrams/Motorola+7232+HD+DVR/12763...
    The above diagram includes an A/V receiver, which I don't think my configuration includes. The tutorial does not offer a choice of configuration that is just the DVR, standard TV, and DVD player.
    Where do I find a wiring diagram that connects my DVR, standard TV and DVD player? Do I have to do anything to the router when I connect the DVD player? Sometimes I see references to set top boxes--are they the same thing as the DVR?
    Thanks in advance.
    Solved!

    Sorry to hear about you trouble.
    If you are using a standard TV you need to check the back ports for RCA connections. They are listed as video/audio inputs, with color coding.
    From your DVD player use RCA output jacks, yellow for video, red and white for audio
    Take other end of RCA cables and connect to TV inputs at the back
    Set your TV to what ever input was used for DVD player and this should allow you to see DVD from TV.
    I sent you a PM if further assistance was needed.

  • Connecting DVD player, speakers and stereo receiver to mac pro

    I'd like to 'integrate' my living room system with my Mac Pro.
    This entails connecting my living room speakers and digital DVD player to my Mac. My stereo receiver is outdated so I plan to buy a new one. The reason I want to connect the DVD player is so I can use the remote control with it. Unless there's a remote I can buy for the Mac Pro ?

    There are several remotes for the Mac Pro that will control its DVD player, such as

    The Mac Pro can't drive speakers directly. You need powered speaker, ao an amplifier.

  • Connecting DVD-Player with GigaWorks S750

    I'm going to buy a GigaWorks S750 system. Will I need an extra decoder like the DDTS-100 when I want to connect the soundsystem with the Computer (with Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro) and one of these things: DVD-Player, Radio, Walkman?
    Thank's for your answers!

    No, I wouldn't bother. You can connect both radio and walkman to two of the line-in sockets on the Audigy's external hub. A DVD player can be connected using the coax or optical inputs. One thing you can't do with the Audigy 2 is use Dolby Pro Logic II for PS2 games. If you don't have a PS2 to connect then, that's not really a problem.

  • Cant connect my player - Zen V P

    Hello.
    Im having a serious problem.
    I just cant get my Zen V Plus working.
    If i connect it to the computer it starts to recharge, but win dont recognize it.
    I tryed Win Vista ultimate,Win XP Pro (WMP instaled),whole creative cd software pack,usb program for detecting a connected devices.
    Nothing detects it!
    I also tryed to "reload firmware" and nothing, i just cant have it recognized.
    So now i have player that can only show "recovery mode" and thats all its functions!
    I also tryed change usb drivers and usb port / cables. Same ending.
    What should i do? Im at the end of road and just about to throw that sh** out of window...
    Thx for suggestions

    If you can't connect the device properly via USB, erasing the firmware in recovery mode is NOT a good idea.
    You do NOT need to erase the firmware before upgrading it. You need to download the correct version for your player, and run the executable. The dialogue will tell you when to connect the player. If the connection fails you will still have the old firmware loaded, and you are no worse off than before.
    t player have you got? /2/4/8GB?
    What firmware are you trying to download to it's
    If you haven't got a copy, you can get it via the 'Support->Download' link in the page banner.
    Vista does not always seem to work well for firmware downloads. It works for some, but not for others (including me).
    So try to use XP/SP2 & WMP 0. You don't need the Creative CD installed.
    RUn the firmware executable & connect the player when the dialogue tells you to.
    If it does not find the player, try a different USB port/USB cable/PC

  • How do I get good audio feed from DVD player to my MBP using an optic cable

    I have successfully recorded audio off of concert DVD's using Sound Studio 3 by connecting my DVD player to my MBP using left/right outputs to a 35mm input. I purchased an optical cable, connected it to my DVD player and used a 35mm adapter to connnect it to my MBP input. All I get is a weird popping interferance type sound instead of clear audio. Any tips on what is going on? I have correct settings in system preferences (recognizes an optical connection) but all I hear is noise?
    Thanks for any help!

    It gives you a few options for audio, I generally save as AAC though you can rip as AIFF and then encode into just about anything with quicktime.

  • When connecting my iPhone 4S to my laptop via a cable, my phone is charging but my itunes is saying nothing has been connected and therefore i cannot sync anything onto my phone

    I have an iPhone 4S and recently when i have been trying to sync my phone and laptop it is not working. I connect my phone and laptop via USB cable and then my phone begins to charge. It asks is i trust this laptop and i agree to trust it. Then i go on to my itunes hopeing to sync my music to my phone, but it says there is nothing connected. Usually a tab would come up saying 'Hayleys's iPhone' but now there is nothing there and i am not sure why. Please help!

    Hello Hayley77,
    It sounds like you are not seeing your iPhone in iTunes when you have it connected to your computer, but your phone recognizes the computer because you get the prompt to trust the computer. I recommend the steps from the article named:

  • Cant connect to samsung galaxy tab 7.0 via bluetooth

    Cant seem to connect via bluetooth to a samsung galaxy tab 7.0 via bluetooth both devices find each device but will not connect any ideas why?

    No. You can't. That's not a feature of the iPhone. Never  has been. It does not support bluetooth file transfer.

  • I cant connect my TomTom to my Iphone 4 via blue tooth.

    I was told it is because of the lack of Bluetooth DUN??  Does anyone know when this will be corrected or a way to get around it without jailbreaking my phone?

    The iPhone will NOT pair with your Tom Tom.  This is not, nor has it ever been a feature of the iPhone.

  • Connect to Airport Express to use AirTunes via ethernet cable?

    Hi,
    Here's my setup and question: I am connected to the internet using the wireless network in my house. I want to also connect my computer to my Airport Express for AirTunes which is hooked up to my stereo in the computer room. Since I'm already connected to a different wireless network for internet, can I connect my Airport Express directly to my computer using an ethernet cable in order to run AirTunes?
    Thanks!

    Hi.
    You don't need to do that. You can simply set the express up as a "client" allowing you to be on the network and/or airtunes and/or wireless printing.
    Have a look at this post for the relevant info:

  • Connecting time capsule to wireless modem router via ethernet cable

    Hi
    I use my TC to store all my data and itunes music/media. I've noticed that when purchasing music, the download speeds are quite slow, even though when I test the broadband speed, it's at a reletively ok 5 mbps. If I hard wire the tc to the modem router, will the downloads be faster? If so, how do I connect them up with ethernet cable. I've done so, and nothing seems to appearing on my desktop.
    cheers
    Mark.

    Reset the TC to factory settings. This will allow you to reconfigure the TC to use Ethernet.

  • Problem for connecting my computer to my wireless router via ethernet cable

    I have a wireles router model BEFW11S4. I have three computers connected to the router by wireless. All these connection work well. I have also a computer connected to the same router via an ethernet cable. This connection does not work, I cannot access internet with that computer. What can I do to correct the problem?

    First off, you need to ascertain if the network card in the computer that is not working is capable of sending and receiving legitimate packets.
    Best thing to do is try and connect this machine directly to your Internet Service Provider modem and see if it works.
    If it doesn't, first you need to check if your computer is capable of acquiring an IP address automatically (See below for details).
    If it is setup to acquire an IP address automatically, but still does not work you either need to find someone who knows how to test network hardware for you or you could try installing a different network card in your computer.
    There are 2 ways a computer can receive an IP address. A typical way is for your router to provide one to the workstation using something called DHCP. The other method requires you to know the exact IP addressing required on your LAN such that your workstation when manually configured with an IP address knows where to send it's packets to get out to the Internet.
    To check if the computer that does not work is configured to "automatically" receive an IP address from your router, do the following:
    1. click on Start
    2. click on Control Panel
    3. double-click on Network Connections
    4. right single-click on "Local Area Connection"
    5. click on Properties
    6. Scroll down the list until you see "Internet Protocol (TCPIP)"
    and then double-click that item
    7. Make sure "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically" are checked.
    This setting allows the workstation to send a broadcast message looking for a DHCP server which can assign an IP address to the workstation. Your router typically would have a DHCP server configured for providing IP addresses. The typical home-based routers can be configured to run a DHCP server or not. Chances are that your wireless computers are automatically acquiring an IP address from your router and therefore it should work on Ethernet connections as well.
    It is possible for something to be not working inside your router that would prevent the DHCP server from distributing IP addresses only on the Ethernet connections. If this is the case you would have to acquire a new router.
    There is more that can be looked at, but this is where you need to start.

  • How to connect JVC DVd player and video cassette recorder to QIP 7100 and Panasonic TC-32lx44

    What cables do I need to connect my DVD/VCR recorder through my QIP 7100 to see on my TV? I would appreciate any assistance with this since I am a novice.
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You cannot run ANY signal through a Set top box to a Television. The only input on the boxes that is actually functional is the coaxial cable. The only way your are going to connect your DVD player to the TV is via one of the AV inputs on the Television itself.
    Hopefully your Television has at least 2 sets of AV inputs, because you are going to need them. 1 for the VCR and 1 for the DVD player.
    Depending upon the TV, VCR and DVD player, the connections possible are:
    1). HDMI cable from TV to DVD if the DVD player has HDMI and the TV has a 2nd HDMI input. It is very unlikely your VCR supports HDMI.
    2). Component Video (RGB) plus Audio AV cables from audio and component outputs on the DVD player to a set of component and coresponding audio inputs on the Television. It is unlikely that your VCR supports component video.
    3). S-VHS cable from DVD player or VCR  to S-VHS input on the TV (if there is one), and audio AV cables from the audio outputs on the DVD/VCR player to the corresponding audio input on the TV for the S-VHS cable. If S-VHS is not available, you can use composite video instead. HDMI and Component video will give you the best picture and composite video will give you the lowest quality picture, but depending upon the equipment, your VCR may not have an S-VHS output available.

  • Connecting black macbook to dvd player, then through projector

    Hello,
    I'm using the composite video adapter to hook the macbook to an auxiliary port on my samsung dvd player, and then using component a/v cables to connect to the projector, and I'm getting no picture/sound. I would hook the macbook straight up to the projector, but I get no sound that way. Am I doing something wrong here? Can this be done?

    When trying to hook up straight to the projector, are you hooking the sound to the (headphone) output jack for sound?
    The Mac Mini-DVI out is apparently only video but no sound. --> http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/MacBook_Mid2007UserGuide.pdf (page 24-25)
