Connecting Blu Ray DVD player to TV

Hello,
I have an HDTV and we recently bought a Blu Ray DVD player. I was able to find an HDMI to DVI converter per the unit's owners manual, but could not find the audio cable(s) needed to get the unit to work. So we returned unit.
I was able to see Te video but could not hear any sound.
My question is how do I get the sound to work? What type of cable do I need?
Since our DVD player is now crazy and not working, I would like to upgrade to a blu ray DVD player. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

If your tv has an optical plug you could use that for the sound
Maybe.....
Not all TV's pass audio through the optical port on the TV. Some just use the optical port on the TV for the ATSC Tuner.
But in any case what you suggest will not work for the OP. Optical ports on TV"s are optical outputs NOT inputs, and the OP is wanting to get sound from his blu-ray player to TV.

  • LG BP320 Blu-Ray DVD player

    I am considering buying the LG BP320 Blu-Ray DVD player.  The main reason I am considering this player is to be able to directly access Netflix rather than having to get the DVDs through the U.S. Mail.  I have a wireless router on my computer.  My question is this.  Is the router all I need in order to directly access Netflix or would I need addtional equipment?  If so, what else would I  need?  My TV is not a "smart" TV.  It is a Sony KDL-40XBR2.  Does it matter that it is not a "Smart' TV? 

    Technically, a router is all you need, but that will not guarantee good results. Your broadband connection should be of sufficient speed to handle the streaming of  movies. The router should be up to this task as well. There are many variables here, so give it a try and report back on your results.

  • Can videos from my dropbox be played on sony blu ray dvd player BDP S580?

    can videos from my dropbox be played on sony blu ray dvd player BDP S580?

    Hello ptsotsos, thank you for your message. Welcome to SONY Community!
    Unfortunately the Blu-ray disc player cannot play videos from dropbox. When the Internet video device is connected to an active network connection, you can browse web sites or surf the Internet. However, the built-in browser is not designed to replace the web browsing functionality of a computer.
    NOTE: Web pages may not display correctly and some web functions such as downloading or saving Internet content may not work properly.
    Hopefully this post helps you!
     

  • KDL-40EX40B TV with builit-in Blu-Ray DVD player

    All of a sudden the integrated blu-ray DVD player has quit working.  When I insert a DVD, nothing happens.  I've tried several DVDs and it doesn't seem to recognize the presence of any DVD.  I tried pulling the plug and then putting it back in.  I also tried to reset the settings for Video on the XMB, but for some reason I couldn't access the settings.  What should I do?

    I am having the exact same issues.  When I try to access the Blu-ray menu it simple hangs at Loading disc.  There are multiple topics/users with this issue with little responses from SONY.  Please advise.

    I wouldnt say that Rwillen. I have owned LG players before that have dropped support a year after release. My sister is the same way she has bought players from Sony, LG and Samsung all have had support dropped for the device within 2 years.
    All OEM's big or small generally drop support for a device once they feel a majority of the units sold are now out of warranty. It keeps overhead costs down from having to continually support a device.
    NoSpinZone - that is pretty much what it is. They want you to buy the latest and greatest when really lately not to many new features are being added to the units. But then again if no one was constantly buying new devices the company would sink.
    Checking older (out of production) players for firmware updates gave me these results.
    LG makes it really easy to check for the age of software updates, the only older model I was able to find that didn't have firmware at least 2 years older than the date of the manual is the BD600/610/620 series. Some others had over 4 years of support.
    Panasonic isn't much different, other than the BD10k, All their players have recieved at least 2 years of firmware updates, some are up to 4 years now.
    Sony has a 2012 firmware updates for the BPD-S1, the first player they released. That's 5 years with updates. A brief check of about half the players showed me that there wasn't a single player with less than 2 years, most with three years plus of updates.
    As far as Samsung goes, they have a horrible history with firmware updates including bricking players, never releasing AACS key updates, or even removing the ability to play blurays from entire studios. Friends don't let friends buy Samsung.

  • Connecting Blu-ray DVD to TV

    I recently purchased a Sony HDTV and a Blu-ray DVD and the expensive HDMI connector cable.  Unfortunately, the tv only 
    has one HDMI outlet and it connects with the Verizon HDTV control box and it only has one HDMI outlet. So how do I connect
    the Blu-ray DVD to the TV?

    The correct solution is Components cables on the VZ STB use the HDMI for your blu ray .  You want to try to stay away from the HDMI switches cause issue with the Verizon STB's Trust me on that one

  • Apple TV as network input for Samsung Blue-Ray DVD player

    I've been using a Airport Express to connect my Blue-Ray player to my wireless network. Can I instead use the Apple TV that sits in almost the same spot? If so how?

    do you mean connect the blueray player to the appletv?
    if yes, then no you can't.
    the appletv is a client device and can't give network access to anything.

    Thank you for this answer. I have another clarifying question for you as I am a wet behind the ears newbie at this. Does this mean that my 2 Wire DSL modem will be acting as the router that you mention? If yes, it would seem that this would also allow me to watch NetFlix movies from my computer on my Toshiba HDTV-correct possibly?

  • Pavilion Dv6 Blu-Ray/dvd player not reading disc's.

    i need help, my pavilion dv6 do not play disc. wat i may do..

    Hello man-el,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand the computer cannot read CDs. To assist you properly, I do require the following information:
    1. The computer's model number. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website: Guide to finding your product number
    2. The computer's operating system. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website to determine your Windows operating system.
    3. Does this occur on certain programs, or all programs?
    4. Have you installed any new hardware, software or drivers on this computer, before the issue appeared?
    Additionally, if the issue just began occurring, I would perform a system restore. I want you to bring the computer back to the earliest restore point possible, in an attempt to dodge whatever caused the issue. Here is a document on how to perform a System Restore: System Restore
    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Blue ray dvd

    I am having problems with my blue ray dvd player.  All the connections are done properly but when I insert disc and turn the dvd on I do not get any pictures or sound.  Can anyone explain what I am doing wrong?

    Well this is not a Blu-ray player forum, so it's difficult to suggest anything but contacting the place you purchased the player from or the manufacturer.

  • HP desktop computer can not play Blu-ray DVDs. Who is responsible for this?

    In 2010, I blought an HP Pavilion Elite HPE 250-f desktop computer (running Windows 7). This computer was advertised as having a Blu-ray DVD player, as well as players for regular DVDs and CDs. All these years, I've been successfully playing regular DVDs and CDs. Until now, I have not attempted to play a Blu-ray DVD.
    I recently rented the "Divergent" Blu-ray DVD (as well as the "Divergent" regular DVD) from my local library. When I tried to play the Blu-ray DVD, the HP MediaSmart software and the Windows Media Player detected the Blu-ray but were not able to play the Blu-ray.
    I then downloaded the Media Player Codec Pack, http://download.cnet.com/Media-Player-Codec-Pack/3000-13632_4-10749065.html    This Codec Pack was supposed to help Windows Media Player play the Blu-ray. That did not work. When I got rid of the Codec Pack using System Restore, HP MediaSmart and Windows Media Player became unable to detect the Blu-ray in the Blu-ray drive. After another System Restore, HP MediaSmart and Windows Media Player were once again able to detect the Blu-ray (but were still unable to play the Blu-ray).
    I then downloaded Cyberlink PowerDVD 14, which played the Blu-ray for only about 7 seconds before crashing. I then got rid of Cyberlink PowerDVD 14 with a System Restore.
    I downloaded TotalMedia Theatre version 6.0.1.123. However, this software did not detect the Blu-ray. I then got rid of TotalMedia Theatre with a System Restore. After that, I was not able to play ANYTHING, including CDs and regular DVDs. CDs and regular DVDs were not being detected by playing software. After another System Restore, I was once again able to play CDs and regular DVDs. However, I do not want to risk trying to play the Blu-ray again.
    So, what's going on here? HP advertised this computer as having a Blu-ray DVD player. Wasn't HP responsible for providing software that could play Blu-ray DVDs? And why is the Blu-ray DVD, sometimes detected, and sometimes not detected, by playing software? Is there some kind of hardware issue?
    Who is responsible for the fact that my computer can not play Blu-ray DVDs? HP, for bad playing software and/or bad hardware? Or is there something in the Windows 7 operating system that prevents the playing of Blu-ray DVDs? Is Microsoft responsible?
    Thanks for any information.

    You're not going to get any help from HP or Microsoft on a 4 year old computer.   Maybe your optical drive is no longer able to play Bluray discs.  Windows 7 Media Center with Bluray playback was not included in all versions of Windows 7.  Each computer with Bluray has an individual license; yours may have expired after not using it for 4 years.  Best advice - don't flog a dead horse.  Just get regular DVDs.
