Connecting computer and home theatre to insignia TV

I just bought a denon home theatre surround sound. I have my insignia TV connected to my XBOX, blu ray, and computer. Is there some way I could connect all these things to my TV and have them play through my surround sound? Basically can I use my free HDMI port to play all these things through my surround sound?

You have two options here...
You can do an all HDMI connection using your Denon receiver as a hub, or you can go all sources via HDMI straight to the TV using and optical out connection back into your Denon receiver set.
The computer may make the Denon connection problematic.

PC and Home Theatre Hookup....need advice

)PC and Home Theatre Hookup....need adviced Ok, I'll try not to sound so illiterate......
I am in the process of connecting my PC to my home theater setup and have the following:
. The computer has the X-Fi Platinum Fatality card with the I/O Bay
2. The A/V receiver is the Sony STR-DG70...it has the Optical and Coaxial digital inputs and it does have the dts logo
3. Polk Audio 5. speakers connected to receiver
4. The Creative Home Theater Connect DTS-60
Now the questions:
. Could I have just used the Flexijack connection on the card running to receiver digital optical input? I am not using the I/O 3/2" bay that came with the card....don't have an extra bay to install in the new case?
2. Could I have just used the Sound Blaster Digital I/O Module from the Flexijack connection on the card?to receiver digital optical input?
3. Or do I need to use the Creative Home Theater Connect DTS-60? And if so is the Optical connection the best of the two?
Thanks so much for any help,
Kenny

- This will fit your "flexi-jack" when connecting to optical sources........

This may save you the trouble of buying the I/O module.

I can't use home sharing because it says Bonjour is not enabled. So I went to administrative tools and started it. Restarted my computer and home sharing still isn't working

How to keep songs on iphone, work computer and home computer the same?

How to keep songs on iphone, work computer and home computer the same?
This seems like something everyone would want to do. I don't know why Apple won't give us a simple solution. They could even charge us for it. I would pay!
Has anyone solved this? What is your solution?
Thanks!

If you just want to be able to sync your devices to the same PC without having them get overwritten all the times, here is a free method
http://cnettv.cnet.com/sync-your-ipod-two-computers/9742-1_53-50004835.html
Basically, you put the same itunes database file on all the PCs. This fakes itunes into thinking it is always the same PC and the ipod is OK to sync with it. It will NOT keep your libraries truly synced, though. I've just resigned myself to always buying from one PC and manually transferring the content to other PCs I want it on.

Connecting my Sony Home Theatre System to my many devices???

I have a Sony HT-DDW990 (Home Theatre Receiver with Subwoofer and 5 speakers) and I need to connect it to all the following devices:
LCD TV - Model: Sony Bravia KDL46V2500
DVD Player - Model: Sony DVP-NS78H
Digital Cable Receiver - Model: Scientific Atlanta Explorer 4250HD (Videotron)
Playstation 3
Nintendo Wii
I need to know first if it is even possible to hook up all these devices together.
Is there a website I can go to that can let me choose the devices I want to hook up to one another? I need step-by-step instructions and also the cables I will need (ex. HDMI cables, Audio/Optical cables etc.).
Thanks

That TV only had 2 HDMI inputs and the receiver only has 2 HDMI inputs, and it will not upconvert the wii to HDMI. So heres what we will do and need:
You need 4 HDMI cables, one optical cable, and get rid of the Wii video cable and replace it with a Wii component video cable.
Plug one cable from the hdmi out of the receiver to HDMI one of the TV. For HDMI 2 of the tv, plug in the PS3. Plug the Wii into component video 1, there is an optical out on the TV, the optical cable will go to one of the receivers optical inputs.
Plug the dvd and cable box to the receiver using HDMI. The inputs are most likely labeled Cable TV? and DVD.
When watching Cable and the Sony dvd the tv will need to be on HDMI 1, then select between DVD and the cable box on the inputs of the receiver. Video will go to the TV, audio will come out of the speakers.
for wii and the PS3 you will select that on the TV, HDMI 2 for PS3 and COmponent 1 for Wii. To get the audio, turn the receiver input to whichever optical input the cable got plugged in to. This will be the input for the audio when you are using these two devices.
If no sound comes out, then you will need to enter the tv's menu and disable the TV speakers, and sound will then rerout to the receiver.
If you have any more hookup questions, ask. It isn't easy for you due to your limited inputs on the TV and the receiver. I will check back to see how you do.
If you want to make life easier, Keep your speakers and get a new receiver and life will be so easy. Everything can pass through the receiver. Call around for a Sony receiver Model: STR-DH800 | SKU: 9246602, maybe find an open box deal. Everything can pass through that unit, and one HDMI to the TV.
Good luck.

Connecting ATV2 to Home Theatre???

Has anyone any idea how to set apple tv2 with an LG home theatre to achieve 5.1 surround and be able to use airplay mirroring. Any Help would be Great ive tried 2 ways and both havnt worked yet. They are optical cable from blu ray player to apple tv and hdmi from blu ray to tv and the other way is HDMI from apple tv to blu ray and HDMI between Blu ray player and TV. Any help would be great. Thanks

Why exactly would you connect the ATV to the BluRay? Is the BluRay built into the Home Theatre system?
The ATV needs to either be connected to the TV or to the receiver preferrably via HDMI. Just FYI, the Optical cable is Audio only.

G500w computer speaks + home theatre

Just found this product on the internet and read the specification up on this website.
I'm quite excited that i could have an ALMOST cable free setup and a nice sound.
I was wondering if any one had any reviews on this product as i have a couple of questions to ask.
I was wondering, seeing as the back two speakers are wireless how they get power. From Batteries or from AC Power, that be far annoying as i'd have to have either an extension cable or power points at either end of the back wall. or if they were run on batteries, how long is battery duration for and also what battery sizes does this take.
Another question i have, im going to be investing in a 42" plasma. but rather then have 2 sets of 5.1 speakers is it possible to use both on the one speakers if i invested in a home theatre for the plasma that's an extra 200 GBP and 2 sets of speakers.
Can the speakers be connected to the plasma?
Many regards, I'd be highly greatful if someone could give me some information
Thanks
Gareth x

Gareth,
There is a receiver box whereby both the rear speaker is connected to it via audio cable and this box is in turn connected to a wall plug for power. As for your second question, I don't quite get the meaning for it. Perhaps you could try explaining what you wanted to achieve again.

HT1296 Can you sync your iPhone to more than one computer? I.E. work computer and home computer?

I would like to know if it's posible to sync my iPhond 4S to my home computer and my office computer.

No. By design, iPhone syncs or manually manages iTunes content with one computer at a time.

Connect iPad to Home Theatre

You can use the Digital AV Adapter with an HDMI cable or you could get the Apple TV to connect the iPad to the Sony wirelessly.

Work computer and home computer how do I synch

I have different music on my work computer and my home computer and would like to combine them. How do I do it?

Not really true.
The two computers would have to be on the same local network to use home share.

High Latency between computer and home hub

My internet began to run very slow last night with disconnects lasting about a minute. I have used BT for many years with very few problems.
I ran a speed test through the bt site and it reports my line is working correctly.
I ran a Tracert as follows

I have tested in on second computer with similiar results. Both are wired connections with no previous connection problems.
Does this suggest a problem with the router/filter itself or could it also be a fault on BTs end?

hi there was a problem in the Manchester area earlier today but that is now resolved
the first hop to your home hub is very high typically <1 not 305 may be worth trying to check if your network card drivers are up to date also try if you can another cable also try another port on your hub just as some extra suggestions

Movies purchased on computer and home shared can be played on Apple TV but not iPad Mini.

Hi - I've recently purchased Dark Knight Rises and Toy Story 3 via Apple TV. Purchased, not rented. I then downloaded the movies on my
Computer (MacBook Pro mid 2010, iTunes 11.0.1). I then home shared the movies on the computer.
I can see and play the movies on Apple TV and the computer. However, those movies do not appear under the Video app on my ipad mini. Other movies, including ones I purchased recently, show up and play just fine on the ipad mini.
The default resolution is set to 1080p in iTunes on the computer. The computer is running OSX 10.8.2.
Any suggestions?

I think I've isolated the problem. The shared videos that are missing from the ipad mini "Videos" app are 1080p. I thought the ipad mini could play 1080p, or at least downcode to somthing it could display.
Maybe it can't.

Work computer and home computer sync

How do I sync my office computer (iMac) with my home laptop (Mac Book Pro)

Depends what you want to sync.
iCloud syncs bookmarks, contacts, calendars, and iWork documents stored in the cloud.
Dropbox (http://Dropbox.com) syncs any documents you store in the Dropbox folder.
Sugarsync (http://Sugarsync.com) syncs selected folders, such as Documents or Desktop.
I've had better success with Dropbox than Sugarsync, personally. Both services offer a limited space sync for free, and charge for more space.

Connecting to a Home Theatre Sys

Hi,
I have an X-fi Platinum Fatalty Champion card with the front X-fi I/O dri've. Is there any way to connect via the optical cable there to an AV receiver and output it through my 7. speakers which are connected to the reciever. The speakers are the traditional?speakers with cables which you have to solder (don't know their names, sorry). If it is possible will I still get all of the CMSS and all of the X-Fi effects still intact.

Forget it...
X-Fi desnt support Dolby Digital Li've...
So you can Pass-trough your DVD movies to Recei'ver, but not games...

(My personal advice, go for other company soundcard, that supports DTS/DDL...and Linux)?
