Connecting TV to Blu-Ray Home Theater

I have a 46G310U LCD TV and a Sony HBD-E770W Blu-Ray Home Theater and I cannot get the sound from the TV to come through the Home Theater. I have followed what I can determine from both owner's manuals and cannot get it to work. I currently have an HDMI cable connecting both and analog audio cables plugged in. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated; I would really like the sound from my XBox to go through the Surround Sound and not the TV.
Thanks!

You can get an optical audio cable to connect those 2 devices that should bring all the TV sound (including games) to the AV system. Don't be ripped off, you can get your cable for under $5. Look at like http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=102&cp_id=10229&cs_id=1022901&p_id=1419&seq=1&format=2

Sony Blue Ray Home Theater

Hi ,
I am having SONY Blue Ray Home Theater System. I have hooked up the spekers to TV (Sony Bravia HD) as well. When ever I put Blue Ray or normal DVD or CD, properly sound is not coming to all speakers. I mean, no human dialogues coming into all speakers. But Speakers are working perfectly with TV. I am having problem only with Blue Ray, DVD & CDs.
Is there anyway I can rectufy this?
Please help me.
Thanks,
Girish

Try pressing the Sound Mode button on your remote the next time your playing a Blu-ray, DVD, or CD. You can press this button repeatedly until the sound is distributed correctly through your speakers. You may have to do this again to change the sound mode when you switch between watching/listening to TV, Blu-ray, DVD, or CD.
If the above doesn't work out, you could also try pressing the Audio button repeatedly until sound is distributed correctly for what you're watching or listening to.
Hope this helps and good luck!

Panasonic - Refurbished 1000W 5.1-Ch. 3D / Wi-Fi Blu-ray Home Theater System

Am I able to run my direct TV box through this surround sound system? or only Blue-ray?

From looking at the specs you could hook up your DirecTV receiver using Analog audio connects (Red/White) so you would never get surround sound out of it. Since the blu-ray player is built into the receiver it will do surround sound though. That is one major problem with this Home Theaters in a box where the player is the receiver as well, expansion is VERY limited.

Samsung wireless blue ray home theater

i just got a samsung home theater HT - C5500 and I want to know what do I need to use the internet, wireless speakers, and all the features; also I need to know if I can plug my phone to the bluey ray player... its a htc phone

Ok, first of all, in order to use the internet features of the blu ray player, you can go about this two different ways. You can either directly plug an ethernet cable into the back of the blu ray player/home system and access the internet that way, or you can go and purchase the Wireless adapter stick. This stick looks very much like a flash drive that you plug into the back of the player and it picks up on your home wireless signal.
Secondly, in terms of making your speakers wireless there are a couple different options you go with. Samsung sells a device that can make your rear speakers "virtually wireless". What this means is instead of running speaker wire from the home system/blu ray player at the front of your room all the way to the rear of your room, there is a small box that will sit in the back of the room and you run the rear speakers speaker wire into the box. The box then communicates with the home system/blu ray in the front of your room, and you have now saved a lot of wire from being run all around your room. This is the most simple way, but the box is not sold in stores, you will need to order this box directly through Samsung.
The other option in terms of making your speakers wireless is the Rocketfish rocketboost setup. There are many different ways you can go about setting up your speakers so they're wireless and these kits vary depending on how you'd like things done. I'd suggest going and speaking with a Home Theater specialist at Best Buy about this option, they could actually give you demonstrations and a better visual explanation than what I can here.
Finally as for hooking up your HTC phone to the system, there are cables to do so, you just need to purchase the one specific to your model phone. For example, if you'd like to listen to music off your phone, you can purchase a cable that is a headphone jack on one end and a red and white stereo cable on the other end. This way, the headphone jack plugs into your phone and the red and white into the tv or surround sound system if it has the inputs for it (which i dont believe it does). In terms of transmitting video, you will need a specific cable, which I would then again speak to either a Best Buy Mobile associate and/or Home Theater specialist, the combination of the two will be able to point out exactly what kind of cable you will need (I have an iphone and I have it hooked up to my system to watch shows on).
I hope this helped you out and that you can get everything all set now in terms of your new surround sound system!
Ohh and I am a Home Theater specialist for Best Buy if you were wondering and I'm very confident in what I have explained here, hope it helps you out =D

How to connect Apple TV to DVD blu-ray home theatre

Hi guys, I am planning to buy Apple TV2 and I was wondering is there setup guide for connecting to HDTV and home theatre system. I currently have LG HDTV and LG DVD Blu-ray Home Theatre. They are connected with HDMI 1.3 cable and I had to get optical cable to get sound from TV to Home theatre.
How is Apple TV fits into that? I have 1 HDMI slot free on TV and 2 HDMI inputs on DVD system.
I was thinking just to connect Apple TV to DVD via HDMI? Would that put sound on home theatre system?
Thank you in advance.

You have read home theatre manual about playing sound from external device.
You doesn't need to connect home theatre to tv at all as you have get video from apple tv.
Connect video output from apple tv to tv(may carry sound along) and optical cable from apple tv to home theatre.
That will do. You can mute sound of tv(in case hdmi carry sound along) or using other function(on samsung ) and hear from home theatre sound from speakers.

How to connect my sony blue ray play to wifi via my airport utility?

how to connect my sony blue ray play to wifi via my airport utility?

The airport utility has nothing whatever to do with the sony bluray player.
The airport utility is to setup wireless in the airport.. once you setup wireless then you use the sony setup for wireless in the player as per its manual.
Please do keep the wireless names short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
As well as pure alphanumeric passwords if you want to do this successfully.

Did you even read the article you linked to?
Here's a quote from it
"The video itself looked fine when it played properly, but it stopped and started constantly, and often displayed with huge, ugly artifacts. And at times, the app would freeze completely and require a force quit.
Just to make sure it wasn’t a problem with one Blu-ray disc, I tried some others. With Hot Tub Time Machine the results were much, much worse. It got a few seconds into the United Artists logo before the movie and completely froze playback. On several attempts. With David Cronenberg’s The Fly, playback was generally better—but the software played the ‘making of’ movie instead of the actual film. I thought there might have been a preference to help with the movie selection, but—wait for it—the Preferences item didn’t do anything when I selected it."
Not very promising is it

Why won't my airport express allow internet connection on TV blu ray? I have internet connection on iMac

Why won't my Airport Express allow internet connection on my Blu Ray when there is internet connection on my IMac?

I'm guessing you only have the modem/router supplied by your isp and the Airport Express. Is the Airport Express connected to the modem/router with an ethernet cable? If not, plug one end of the cable into an available port on the modem/router and the other end in to the WAN port, indicated with a dashed circle, on the Airport Express.
Have a nice day.

Help with Connection Settings for Blu ray-to-Airport Express-to-TC?

I'm trying to use the network capability of my Sony Blu ray player and having no luck. I have the Blu ray connected via ethernet cable to the Airport Express, which in turn is connected wirelessly to my Time Capsule. The problem I'm having is horrendous because I'm so lame and no amount of forum or internet searching has helped.
The Blu ray network settings wants the following information:
IP Address
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
DNS Server (Primary)
DNS Server (Secondary)
Do I get these settings from System Preferences>Network>AirPort>Advanced or do I get them from either the Airport Express or Time Capsule using AirPort Utility?
I tried giving the Blu ray player a static IP Address in Time Capsule using DHCP Reservations and the Blu ray's MAC Address, but that's not working either. Between the AirPort Express, Time Capsule, cable modem, and MacBook Air there are numbers everywhere and I just don't which set to use.

I have tried most of the suggestions on these forums to get my Samsung connected to the airport express network but so far no luck. Anybody have success out there with step by step suggestions?
Are you trying to connect it to your AirPort Express wirelessly? (That's probably the case if your AirPort Express is your only Wi-Fi device, as its Ethernet port would be connected to your broadband modem.)
Is your AirPort Express "N"-capable? What type of encryption are you using on your network?
Have you installed the "supplied Wireless LAN Adapter"?

What does this mean "future streaming" -- does this mean it's does currently work due to a software issue but it has an built-in antenna
that might be enabled with a future update? I'm confused...
I just want to know if this device will connect to my home wireless network.. my network router / hub is no where near the TV and running a ethernet cable is not feasible.
THanks.

Connecting an ipod to a home theater system

I recently purchased a home theater system with a USB port claiming the system can play music files. When I connected my ipod to the system, all I got was the "do not disconnect" message on the ipod screen and no ability to play music. When making the same connection with a scandisk flash memory MP3 player, there was no issue with playing the music. I am curious as to why the ipod will not play through this connection? I know I can connect the ipod through the audio in port on the home theater system, but by using the USB connection, I was hoping not only to play the music, but also charge the ipod as well. In addition to why my ipod will not play in this home theater system (RCA), is there another type of home theater system out there that does have a USB connection for the ipod to play through?

You should be able to use a 3.5mm plug cable to connect iPad to the AUX input of your sound system.
Make sure you set the volume to about 5% to 10% on you iPad.
