Help me set up my ATV with Samsung Home theater (No HDMI in)

Hey all,
I have a TV with one HDMI in. My home theater receiver has an HDMI out and no HDMI ins. My apple TV HDMI out to the TV HDMI in works perfectly, but obviously I want to use my surround sounds/theater. I do have an optical cable, and my receiver has an optical jack.
Any help would be awesome! Thanks!

you'll need to connect HDMI to your TV and optical to your home theatre.

5.1 Surround Sound through Samsung Home Theater via HDMI?

Home Theater spec: Samsung HT-C6600
Following the advice of my new Home Theater users' manual, I connected my FIOS HD STB the following way, using HDMI cables throughout:
HD STB > Home Theater HDMI input > TV HDMI input
The home theater has a bluray player built-in and the 5.1surround sounds great coming from the bluray.
However, when I watch TV, the sound only seems to be coming from the front speaker.
The settings on FIOS say that its giving surround sound.
Any advice on what could be going wrong?
Thanks!

It seems basic, but are the channels you are watching broadcasting in Dolby Digital 5.1? Not all of them do, and some only do it some of the time. My receiver can be set to automatically select Pro Logic II or DTS-NEO, which matrix stereo sound to 5.1, if the channel is not producing 5.1. I don't know if your system can do that.

Help: FSB Setting for MSI 875P with Intel 3.06 533Mhz & Corsair 512 27

Help: FSB Setting for MSI 875P with Intel 3.06 533Mhz & Corsair 512 2799 333Mhz
Need a little help here, Intel's specs for the P4 3.06GHz 533 is a multiplier of 23 x 133Mhz.
However 133Mhz as a FSB seems very slow.
The 875P NEO has two BIOS settings: CPU Ratio and Adjust CPU Bus
What are your settings for these - I am quite confused?
Thanks!
G.

133 is the stock FSB setting. set your memory to DDR333.
Do you want to overclock? you might want to set your memory to DDR266 which is 1:1. so u can adjust a bit of FSB from 133 to maybe 150.
PS dont forget your memory timing. 2-6-3-3 would be oki i think. what bios version r u using?

Samsung Home theater with dvd player want to upgrade to wireless - what's best?

Hi-
I have a Samsung home theater system with 5 disc dvd changer and the rear speakers are hard wired. Should I upgrade to the "bar" system with no rear speakers. Is that type of system better audio quality. Any suggestions?

By eliminating the rears, you will not have the same immersive experience. The sound/tonal qualities of a soundbar can be very good.
I don't know if a bar is an "upgrade", unless you consider simplifying your setup a step in the right direction. Bars have become popular for their relatively decent sound, while being extremely easy to implement into any situation.

Connecting ATV to a home theater w/o HDMI

Best way to connect my ATV?
My home theater system does not have any "video in" ports. The guy at Best Buy told me I could run a HDMI cable directly from the ATV to my tv for video and also run an optical digital cable from the ATV to my home theater for sound. Will this work?

Audio will come from both the receiver and the tv if you set your system up the way you suggested, you simply need to turn your tv speakers off (or down if you don't have an off setting)

Networking with LG Home Theater System

I have an LG 47LW5600 TV and LHB976 Home Theater system. These are connected wirelessly via a Cisco Router to my Dell Laptop running Vista. I can readily access all my shared media files on the PC and display them on the TV. My problem now is that I have just bought a new IMAC running OSX 10.7.2 that is on the same network and none of the folders that I have set up to share on the IMAC will open on the TV/HT system. All of these folders are correctly listed on the TV when I go to the ‘select device or server’ page, so the TV is seeing them OK , but none of them will open. All I get is a message saying ‘a network error occurred’ with an option to either return to the home page or the server list. I have run a network check on the IMAC and no problems were found. Anybody out there had similar issues with this LG/IMAC combination? Would really appreciate some help with this as I intend to gradually move all my entertainment media to the IMAC from the Dell.

I believethe problem is your LG TV is probably looking for devices that support DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) in order to stream or view folders, images, etc on the TV.
One easy way to add this capability to your Mac is to use a streaming media server app on your Mac.
I've reviewed the one from ElGato, which is linked above.

Sending sound from my TV into my Samsung Home Theater

Hi all -
I bought a Samsung HT-Z420 Home theater speaker system and I can't figure out how to get the sound from regular cable tv through the speakers.
My TV has a audio out, so I plugged in the red and white cables and then connected to the AUX in the home theater box, but that doesn't work...
Is it possible to use my speakers from watching cable TV?
Thanks in advance!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

well, i don't have a cable box. it's just the audio outputs on the TV. its an older sony. not high def, flat screen or anything like that.
the dvd/hometheater system doesn't seem to have an audio input. only a 'digital audio in' does this mean my tv is too old to work with this? my TV only has the red and white cable plugs.
other plug on the home theater are AUX2 in, and component out. the AUX2 in are the red and white plugs, so i just plugged the IN there and hoped for the best, which of course didn't work out.

Apple TV Optical Soundoutput not working with Sony Home Theater System

I just bought a new apple tv. The setup was pretty simple, with the exception that I cannot get the optical audio output to work with my Sony home theater.
If I switch tha optical sound cable from the apple tv to the cable tv converter box I get sound fine in the sound system, so I know the sound system works fine and is setup to take input thru the optical cable.
Any one experiencing the same problem?

hey buddy,
How old is your Sony receiver? You have to be careful here because receivers that were made about 2 years ago, a lot of the lower range one only does HDMI pass-through. This means that your receiver only passes both the video and audio signal onto the end points, i.e takes the signal from your apple TV and outputs them onto your TV. It does not split the video and audio stream and send the audio to your home theater speakers. So make sure you plug your hdmi and optical out into the same set of input ports. On most Sony receivers, this device is under the Blue Ray class of input, where it takes video from the hdmi and the audio from the optical. If you have them on two separate class, say, HDMI to the DVD in, and optical in to the blue ray, then certainly when you set your receiver to DVD, you get video and audio on your TV speakers. And when you set your receiver to blue ray, you only get audio but not video.

Can I connect my iMac's iTunes library via wi-fi to my Blu-Ray player so I can listen to the music on my computer with my home theater system?

My music library is on my iMac, located in a different room of the house than my home theater system with a decent Denon receiver and good Infinity towers. I have an iPod connector to the Denon which I can use, but the iPod has a limited library of songs, so I would like to somehow access my iMac music library and be able to play it through the home theater system. Hard wiring the components is out of the question due to length of run through several rooms of the house, no basement and cathedral ceilings. I already have my iMac and my Panasonic Blu-Ray player both connected to my wi-fi, and it seems there should be a way to connect both of them using the wi-fi. The blu-ray player is DLNA, but the Mac isn't, so that is out of the question. Is there any other way to get these components to talk to each other over wi-fi?

There is a DLNA media server called MediaLink that is designed for use with the Play Station 3. It is not advertised as working with other DLNA clients but it usually will. I use it to stream audio, video and pictures to a WDTV media player in my bedroom. Works great, even supports iTunes playlists. I believe it still has a free trial period so you can see if it works with your player.

Please help me set up a WDS with relay

I am attempting to create a WDS with 5 Airport Express units with the main station being connected to a wired router (will this slow things down?) I used the Airport Utility to designate the main station in WDS and then scanned for another station that I set up as remote. Everything works fines at this point.
Next I selected another station as a relay and then selected the main station and the other ones which I want to act as remotes from the relay (not sure if I should include the remote that I already have set up off the main station as also a remote to the relay) But regardless this is when I get the message that I should not have DHCP and NAT enabled and that I should deselect the "Distribute IP Addresses" option which didn't come up when I set up the first remote from the main. I tried leaving these options both on or off but either way the relay didn't connect to the main however the remotes connected the the relay. (I have double checked that I have the main station for the relay selected properly.
I was confused that you are to enter a network name and password for the relay because I thought it would it would automatically be changed to the main networks names and password. (Maybe it would have if I had it working right) Since it didn't I attempted entering in the main network name and password but it didn't help. A relay in WDS doesn't create another network name correct? Computers can also connect to a relay? I also thought it was strange that when I was scanning for the stations that the MAC address would come up but the name would be listed as "unknown" but am not sure if that is a big deal. One other issue I was experiencing was that my PMG5 couldn't connect to another station after already being connected to one for some unkown reason but luckily I have a PB to work with that had no trouble accessing the different stations to then attempt to configure as I have described. I also wonder if it woud be better to kepp the PMG5 wired from the wired router and then also connect the Main Airport Express to it. If anyone can provide any advice it will be greatly appreciated! Thanks a million!

Sorry, would love to go into fine detail about this but I'm a little tired and frustrated at this point.
I'm basically having the same problem as robosapien. I just want to create this simple configuration :-
AirPort Extreme Base Station (main) <--> AirPort Express (relay) <--> Airport Express (remote)
In following various instruction manuals, common sense and logical experimentation I'm simply failing to get it to work. I've assigned MAC addresses, configured manually and with the set-up assistants but I'm begining to feel that the "multiple" configuration adjustments that happen when setting up a WDS network are somehow cancelling things out.
Here are a few things that are confusing me.
1) It appears I have set things up correctly in a single room environment with MAC addresses in the "right" boxes, main/relay/remote WDS settings assigned correctly and green lights on the 2 Express units. I then move Express 1 (relay) to another room and retain green light status. I then move Express 2 (remote) to it's intended location - another building, but with only 2 walls and 25ft between Express's - but I only get the flashing orange LED. I return to Express 1 and that too is flashing orange, as if Express 2 has messed up it's function when it was powered up. The network has fallen down.
2) When experimenting with configuring each station I don't understand why a single remote base station is in a mode classed as "Create a Wireless Network" as opposed to "Join an existing Wireless Network", but that second option disables access to WDS settings, so I'll hazard a guess that is used for bridging.
I'm sure it's probably all about the order in which you set up the base stations
and which base station holds which MAC addresses, but I've exhausted the logical combinations.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

8330 Curve. Please help me set up to sync with Google Calendar.

Please help. I have a new Curve. I spent forever getting Google Calendar loaded up with my LIFE, and now I cannot seem to get the two to sync consistently. Would someone please simplify this for me (talk to me like I am 8) and rescue me from the panic I am in?
I need Google Calendar to sync (both ways) with my BB. Since I can only find a way to set two different sounding alarms on the BB, I also need to be able to have Google Calendar send e-mail alerts (because I can use a different alarm tone) and SMS (another tone) for some events.
I had some of this working, and all of a sudden, some events are out of "sync" by a day. (ie. it says they are set for a Thursday, recurrring ,but they show up on Wednesday on Google). Also, many events are not syncing from Google Cal to BB.
Following some of the information I read here, I re-set my Calendar Sync, re-loaded Google Sync. I now have 3 entries in my calendar, not 823. It would appear that most of what I need still exists in my desktop Google Calendar. Please help me get these appointments back on to my BB!!
Thank you.

First, you need a Google account. If you don't have one, get it here:

I need help to set up my AirPort with AT&T Uverse

I purchased the AirPort to replace the wifi portion of my AT&T Uverse NVG510 modem/router. The AT7T people said to turn off the wifi on the router. BestBuy says it will work. I am not able to see from the instructions on the AirPort how to set that up. Help?

THanks for the answer. I do not know how to enter the bridge mode. I went with the "new network" with the AirPort connected from the Ethernet/wan port to an open port on the Uverse router. It works and I went into the router and shut off it's wifi. Will it still be a good idea to set the airport in the bridge mode? The wifi seems to be a little stonger but I was hoping for a little more range.

Help in setting up internet connection with AOL

I just purchased a MacBook this week (already have an iMac). I have phone line internet service with AOL as my provider. I purchased the modem from Apple to connect to my phone line. I have tried to use the SetUp Asst. to connect but I am not very computer literate and can't seem to get set up. I need very basic directions. Also, how do I use wifi with the MacBook? I have never used it before - I don't know how to configure it or get it started either. Any help would be tremendously appreciated. Sorry to be so illiterate!
Sunny

Welcome To Discussions Sunny!
At what point in the setup are you?
Do you have the AOL application installed on the MacBook?
Do you have an existing AOL account?
Do you have the External Modem connected to the MacBook, and also to the phone jack in the wall?

Help Required Setting up a Network with 2 Wireless Routers

My network is based on 2 hubs:
Room 1 - Main Hub
Phone socket (where line enters my house)
Modem
WRT610N router
Homeplug connected by ethernet cable to router
Room 2 - Media Centre
Homeplug
Netgear DG834G v1
Room 2 includes a NAS and media streamer wired to the DG834G, which as I understand it still need to talk via the WRT610N. I'd like to upgrade my network further and remove the weakest point (currently Homeplugs) and therefore improve connectivity between hub 1 and 2. In upgrading, I want everytthing to have gigabit ethernet ports, but for the 2 hubs to be connected only via wireless link (wired link may be possible in long term, but not at present).
I have already taken the step of purchasing a 2nd WRT610N, but am now unsure if the link can be established between the 2 of them without using a cable connection. Does anyone know if/ how this can be achieved, or do I need to buy something else?

Linksys firmware does not have feature to make the router work as an wireless access point.You can try the dd-wrt firmware.For more information about that,you can visit www.dd-wrt firmware.
You have two alternative here..First is Wireless Bridge(WET610N),which will communicate with the router wirelessly and it it will provide the LAN Connection further.You can connect a switch to the bridge and all other devices hard-wired to the bridge to get connection...However,it will not give you the Wireless Signal.
The Seconds alternative in my opinion is an Access Point(WAP4410N)...Which will receive the wireless signal from your router and will repeat the signal wirelessly to your Wireless devices if set in a Repeater Mode.

Help on set up branch office with 2921 H323 gateway

I setup a new branch office with 2921 H323 gateway and cucm in HQ. When I call a number in remote office, I get dead silence and busy tone. However, user can hear ring at the remote location and able to answer the phone. I was able to talk to him. Any place I need to check?
Question #2, should cucm in HQ handle all calls between HQ and remote office? I tried to call from my VoIP phone to remote office VoIP phone and monitored remote office GW running "debug voip ccapi inout". I saw messages like gateway is handling calls. Is this normal?
I'm fairly new to VoIP environment, still trying to learn. Thanks. Let me know if you need anything to troubleshoot this.

I think that's where I'm confused. I'd like to have CUCM to handle every calls for remote sites. when I searched for the number I'm dialing for remote office, there is a route pattern that covers this number and it points to gateway. This route pattern covers all of their local numbers including our remote office numbers. For example, I have 9.1201456XXXX point to H323 GW. That I got it. However, I want the numbers belong to our office like 1111 don't go to GW for call processing. Do I make sense? I want only their local call to remote office go through GW not our internal call between our offices. I'm sorry if I don't make much sense. Thanks for your help.
