Home theatre connect dts-6

Does anybody know if the home theatre connect?dts - 60?has better sound compared to analog imputs? I'm thinking of buying it for the sound.

It offers the convenience of deli'vering 6 discrete channels over a single cable, however since DTS is a lossy compression scheme it cannot offer better quality, actually it will introduce artifacts (almost undetectable if you are not expecting them and you haven't listened to the uncompressed audio). Unless?your receiver?doesn't?have analog inputs go for the HT cable, it's cheaper, you can expand to 8 channels?and if you don't run into electrical issues (such as a ground loop) it will degrade less the sound than?the compression.

Difference between the Creative Decoder DDTS-100 & Creative Home Theater Connect DTS-

I've had the Klipsch ProMedia Ultra 5. System for years now for my PC with a Sound Blaster card, and I just got a MacBook.
http://www.klipsch.com/products/details/promedia-ultra-5-.aspx
I've asked on the Klipsch message board about a digital decoder. I was recommended the Creative Decoder DDTS-00
http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=4&subcategory=36&product=9468
but I also found the Creative Home Theater Connect DTS-60 for less money, any idea what the difference between the two would be?

No, for the reason mentionned in the stickies. But since you seems not knowing much on digital sound let me explain.
Digital means it's coded with 0 and , and therefor only cable is sufficient. You might know there is many sound formats for home cinema, like Dolby Digital and DTS. And a digital decoder need to be input a compatible sound stream to be able to decode it. Which means the soundcard MUST be able to convert it's output sound in one receiver compatible format.
Creative cards cannot do this kind of thing.
Another thing: current home theater sound format are limited to 6. (DD-EX and DTS-ES). So you would not be able to achieve more than 6..
THX isn't a sound format, only a certification. The THX calibrator is a must have component to correctly calibrate your speakers to enhance you sound experience.
If you need to have TRUE surround up to 7. channels you don't need to use digital connection because it's simply useless.

ATV to Home Theatre Connection Problem

Just bought Apple TV. It only has the optical audio option. My home theatre receiver only has the red-white cable audio jacks. I have 3 HDMI cables going into my TV, 1) Comcast Cable, 2) the Sony Home Theatre and the 3) ATV. How can I get ATV HOOKED INTO my Home Theatre system? I saw an ATV diagram online with the audio jacks, but I don't have that one. Anyone know what options I have if any?

Yes, it has one HDMI cable that is an output to the TV. So, I will go to Best Buy and ask for the DAC. I'm assuming the optical connection runs into it and the analog red-white cables come out?
I looked since this note and my new Mitsubisha HD TV has a digital out jack and I'm wondering if that would channel my audio back up to my Home Theatre system if there is a convertor for that audio output. I relaly appreaciate your help on this.

We want to connect hdmi cable to av receiver and ALSO connect componet video cables directly to hdtv so that we do not have to use av receiver at all times when watching tv. Is it possible to use both out-put solutions on Motorola model QIP 6416-1?

I've done that, it works.
Alternately, have you considered using a 1x2 HDMI splitter -or- would using the digital coax audio output from the STB into the av receiver be sufficient for your needs such that you don't send video over to the receive at all?

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........

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.

Mac Mini chirps - connected to home theatre

I have a Mac Mini, mid 2010, that I use as a media server and it's connected to my home theatre. It currently runs Mac OS X v10.9.5 and as long as I've had it, no matter what version of Mac OS, there's an occasional chirp. It sounds like the first note of a wolf whistle. The sound comes over the sound system and only occurs when playing iTunes Internet radio. I don't recall ever hearing it while listening to any of my own music and I have a huge collection.
I've turned off notifications for almost everything, thinking it was perhaps a notification causing the problem. Strangely, I still get notifications of what song is playing on the Internet radio station but I've not heard the chirp when I saw a notification display.
For what it's worth, I usually use my MacBook Pro to control the Mac Mini via screen sharing. Also, because of the large collection of media, I have a 3 TB hard drive connected that I designated as the location of my iTunes library.
This a quite annoying and thank heavens it doesn't happen while watching movies via iTunes directly or through my Apple TV.
I've read some threads on this site that suggested HD problems but that's highly unlikely in this case since the sound comes over my home theatre system speakers and I've absolutely no issues with the Mac Mini's operation. Since the demands aren't high for the Mac, given it's use, I don't in
Any thoughts?

How connected? If HDMI and some other ways then you have to use TV's volume control

Apple TV won't connect properly to Sony home theatre system using hdmi cable.

Using an HDMI cable to the port on the home theatre system I can get sound, but the picture is intermittent. It Comes on for 1second, goes of for 10 seconds.
If I connect directly to the TV using the HDMI to DVI-D cable it works, but because I am using a Fujitsu plasmavision it is a monitor only with no speakers.
Would really like to get this to work and don't understand why the video signal is intermittent from the blueray player. Other inputs into the player through the HDMI port work OK (such as a set top box).

Just installed my Vizio SoundBar with my new LG TV & Apple TV 2... The trick to get the Apple TV 2 to send audio to the Soundbar is on the Apple TV Menu under audio change it to 16 bit. Boom it works.

Can I connect 2 sony bravia's, a sony home theatre, 2 macbooks, 2 ipads, 3 iphones and a dell laptop and stream media from my apple devices to my tv?

Can I connect 2 sony bravia's, a sony home theatre, 2 macbooks, 2 ipads, 3 iphones and a dell laptop and stream media from my apple devices to my tv? I have a sony bravia 600 series and 700 series and a home theatre( sony 7100 series)

The only way to stream directly to your TV would be if it is an AirPlay-enabled device.
There are many AirPlay-enabled devices but I am not familiar with Sony's products. If yours do not specifically indicate AirPlay capability, then you need an AirPlay-enabled device such as an AppleTV connected to your Sony TV or Sony AVR.

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 Apple TV to Philips home theatre "Digital In" port

I'd like to be able to connect my Apple TV to my Philips LX3950W Home Theatre for better audio quality. The Philis user manual mentions a "Digital In" port (http://download.p4c.philips.com/files/l/lx3950w_01/lx3950w_01_dfu_eng.pdf). Can this be used with the "Optical Audio" cable from my ATV, and if so, what type of cable/adaptor do I need?

Thanks Winston. I can't check it right now but have found a different Specs sheet (http://www.p4c.philips.com/files/l/lx3950w_01/lx3950w_01_pss_aen.pdf) which calls it a "Digital coaxial in" connection. Is there an adaptor available or am I stuck with my TV audio?

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.

Connecting Mac Book to the Home Theatre

Does anyone have any idea as to how to connect the Macbook to the Home Theatre. I have movies on my Mac and want to watch them on my home theatre. The home theatre components are projector and a 5.1 Harman Kardon system.

If your HK has optical input, this type of cable would be best:
