LG Blu-Ray Surround Sound Receiver

Hi there, almost 2 years ago I bought an LG Blu-Ray player with the 5 speaker surround sound. At the time, I lived in an apartment and could position the speakers properly. However, recently I purchased a house (Yah!), but there isn't a way to run cables from where the TV sits to the rear corners for the rear speakers. I was wondering if there is an adapter to make at least the 2 speakers wireless that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg?
If not, any other suggestions?
Thanks everyone!

Hello Geekgyrl!
Thanks for posting and congratulations on unlocking the Home Owner achievement! I've ran into the situation that you are describing numerous times when working as a Home Theater Installer for Geek Squad.
The first thing I'd need to know is what type of surround system you have. Are you set up with a dedicated receiver and multiple speakers? Or is the blu-ray player the center of the speaker setup?
We do carry a Rocketfish Wireless Kit that should work for you if you have a standalone receiver, and I can personally recommend it after installing quite a few of them myself. It is pretty affordable and a lot easier than going into the attic or crawl space with the random mystery insects.
If the blu-ray player is the center, or you have a home theater in a box, you might want to consider calling our Mission Control dispatch (1-800-GEEKSQUAD) center or visiting your local Best Buy to schedule a Home Entertainment Advisor to visit your home and recommend additional solutions.
I hope this gets you started on your path to an awesome movie night, and let me know if there is anything else I can answer for you!

55G310U won't turn on surround sound receiver; 46G300U worked fine

I had a 46G300U connected to a Yamaha RX-V467 surround sound receiver via HDMI. It worked great: when I turned the TV on or off the receiver turned off as well, and the TV remote correctly controlled the receiver's volume.
I replaced the TV with a new 55G310U TV. And while the RX-V467 is correctly recognized as a REGZA LINK device, the TV does not turn it on when it powers up. Worse than that, the sound keeps reverting to the TV speakers, so each time I turn on the TV I must go to REGZA LINK setup and re-select the audio receiver for sound output.
Has anyone seen this?

I have that same problem, did you ever get an answer?

Surround sound receiver is causing Apple TV to cut in and out.

My Apple TV is cutting in and out and I think my Marantz surround sound receiver is causing it because when I hook Apple TV directly to the TV it works fine. I looked at my receivers owner's manual but did not find anything helpful. Any idea how to resolve it?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check that the wifi channel is set to the same channel as on your previous router, also check the multicast rate is identical.
If the problem persists, you might also want to see if netgear have a forum or a help number and ask there.

Xfinity X1 - TV Sound Cuts In And Out When Connected to Surround Sound Receiver

I'm a fairly new Comcast Xfinint X1 TV and Internet subscriber. I am experiencing issues with TV sound cutting in and out. The sound cuts out for 2-3 seconds, all the time. The Onkyo surround sound receiver has been used without issue on a different cable TV platform so I know there is nothing wrong with the receiver. System set-up. Voice/data modem - Arris Interactive, LLC - tg862gCable Box - Make/Model - PA px001ancSurround Sound Receiver - Onkyo TX-NR609 HDMI cable run from cable box to Onkyo receiver. HDMI cable run from Onkyo receiver to TV. I have reset all equipment multiple times with no resolution. Any help would be greatly appreciated as it is very difficult when trying to watch TV.

I highly doubt your modem has anything to do with this because it doesn't have MoCA.However it sounds like you an original green power light Pace DVRs and they are well known to have audio dropout issues. I would replace that DVR with a different version.
Is this problem happening on a specific channel? CBS seems to be having issues lately. I am watching the CMA awards right now and I have heard the volume change a couple times but this is the only channel it is happening on which would suggest it is not Comcast's fault.

Compressed audio to Blu-ray quality sounds muffled

Hello!
I am having difficulties keeping the audio quality of a HQ video, edited in Final Cut Pro, after compressing it with Compressor 4 to Blu-ray quality.
In Compressor 4 I used Dolby Digital Professional option for audio (ac-3) but after compressing, the audio sounds smothered/muffled in comparison to the original.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
I have tried many things, including making the sound level higher in FCP before sending in to Compressor and changing the audio settings in Compressor quite some times.
Please help!

Try this: In the Inspector>Encoder pane>Audio, set Dialogue Normalization to -31 and in the Preprocessing pane, choose None for Compression Preset. Otherwise, experiment with different Compression Presets.
Good luck.
Russ

Mpeg2 Blue Ray no sound

gentlemen
Adobe CS4 AE
my footage 1080p 24fps
all green screen
after adding all effects and etc i sent it to "Render Queue"
My first file , which was windows AVI with size of 28gb sounded great(a 4 mins song)
I turned it to DVD works fine
Then I wanted to createanother version for YouTube, I searched the forums pretty much I did not find any useful topic, beside one member saying to use Adobe Encoder to have it ready for the web,since all my work is done in HD I wanted to make an HD version of the video, so I selected Mpeg2 Blue Ray, it rendered fine, the size of the file is 480mb which is cool and the quality is still wow and plays smooth and full of quality, but there is NO sound
YES I checked the audio under output module
Any help will be appreciated .

Many thanks Jonas

Sony Blu Ray surround already registered

I am trying to register my Sony Blu Ray for internet content like Pandora and other apps, but when I go to register with Sony Essentials it's asking for a registration code, so when I search on my Blu Ray to display the code, it says "Device already registered".
I tried doing a factory reset on the device and it won't show up. This was an open box item.
How can I get this code so I can set up my content?

I would suggest calling Sony. They would be the only ones to do any type of reset. You just need to give them a proof of purchase.

5.1 mp3 to external surround sound receiver with do

I have a not so new aiwa receiver with dolby surround 5.. A few years ago I had it hooked up to my soundblaster 5. mp3 and it worked well.
On the back under 5. input it has RCA connections for center, subwoofer,front and surround. I am using Bose accoustimass 7 speakers. Which consist of a left right and center speaker with a passi've sub woofer. I have 3 wires with RCA (2 red and white)plugs on one end of each wire and PC audio plugs in the other. When I plug the PC plug into the digital on the card and RCA into center and subwoofer and go to test. I hear a voice say center speaker. (the sound is coming out of the left front speaker) and I hear a voice saying front right (coming out of the center speaker.) and no voice saying front left. I have tried every configuration possible ( I think) and no left front. Even if I change the speaker configuration to video one with 2 speakers or video 2 with 4 speakers and on and on and on.(of course I change the RCA plugs to what channel I am trying) No left front. I have gone to CD and aux for the tv or video or DVD and the left speaker works fine. Just not when hooked up to my sound card. What's the deal? Can the left on the card be blown? MY receiver does not have a digital plug on the back

yup. Yours is just a 4 channel sound card, for Front Left, Front Right, Rear Left and Rear Right speakers. It is seperated with two jacks.
A 6 channel (5.) sound card has a third jack for the center speaker and subwoofer. So if you continue to use your Value card, you will only hear sounds from the Front and Rear, nothing from center and subwoofer.
Its time for an upgrade I say, and since you are getting such a powerful set of speakers, seriously consider an Audigy 2 ZS. A THX-Certified Speakers should go with THX-Certified Sound Card

I just got the Sony BRAVIA 60" Class / 1080p / 120Hz / LED-LCD HDTV and I have a Yamaha RX-V1800. I want to buy and hook up a Blu-ray player to both. What the best way to do this? Should I use the optical audio to connect the Blu-ray to the receive and the HDMI to connect to the TV? I really want to be able to use HDMI for the audio but then I'm left with only component video for the TV. I can't filter the sound through the TV, this does not work. Does optical produce good audio?
Solved!

Okay so I did try to run everything through the Yamaha receiver and the refresh rate is just to slow. I put in the DVD Salt and as soon as there was a chase scene I got lot of blurring. Since I'm not going to get a new receiver any time soon is a HDMI to the TV and an optical to the receiver the best option?
You have no idea what you are doing which is why your results are not pleasing. Simply connect the equipment with HDMI cables as instructed and use only Blu-Ray discs as they are full-resolution sources. Your Blu-Ray player applies upscaling and processing to your DVD which is why it looks like crap and your receiver would do the same depending on the settings. You also need to check the settings on your player and HDTV to get them both aligned for the best picture quality.
Well I did use HDMI cables, and I also checked all of the setting on both the receiver and the TV. I did not use a Blu-Ray or player as I have not bought one yet. So are you saying the only way to not get a blur when using this set up would be to only watch Blu-Rays?? That does not make much sense. Also I would like to say I have some idea what I'm doing but obviously not as much as many people on this site, that's why I posted my question here. Thanks though for pointing out the obvious, It was very helpful of you.

Samsung blu ray hook-up

I guess i'm like a couple of people who are not getting the picture quality at home that we experience in the stores. I would like to know the best way to hook up my Samsung blu ray player to my Samsung hd tv? Just use the HDMI cable? I also have the audio/video cables hooked up. Are the 2 cancelling themselves out? It's also hooked into my surround sound system. the sound quality is awesome but for some reason i'm just not getting the picture quality I wanted. any suggestions? Am I missing something?

Use just the HDMI cable. Take the Red/White/Yellow off.
Connect the HDMI to your receiver, and then the recevier to the TV.
If you have no HDMI connection at the receiver, connect the HDMI to your tv, and a toslink/digital cable from your Blu Ray to the receiver.

How do i get my surround sound to work with my laptop while using a hdmi cable for the video

I have a Sony surround sound system hooked up that works great. My X-Box 360 works with it and I can get my HP G60 to play audio files through the surround sound system with a red and white audio jack plugged into the back of my surround sound receiver, the red and white audio cord goes to a 3.5mm headphone jack that i plug into the headphone plug on the front of my computer. The problem occurs when I hook my HDMI cable into my computer and connect it to my Samsung Flat screen, the HDMI sound takes over and wont allow the sound to go through the headphone jack. My tv does not have any audio output plugs, and my suround sound reciever doesnt have an HDMI input. Is there a setting on the computer that will allow me to over ride the HDMI sound and direct the sound through the head phones? or is there an app or tool that will allow my laptop to recognize my suround sound system plugged into my laptop? I have been to best buy, walmart, radio shack and even my local car audio store to ask about this issue and everyone has a different solution, and so far none of them have worked???????? sincerley frustrated! please help!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Hello JaeRoc48,
I understand that the sound is not working.
Go to start.
Type Sound.
Select sound.
Select speakers as default.
Click OK.
Let me know how everything goes.

New Insignia NS-L55X-10A sound not in sync with surround sound

My new Insingina NS L55X 10A was delivered this morning, replacing a 7 year old 52" Hitachi. Of course they just swapped the TV's, plugged it up and attached the cable coax and made sure it would turn on. I didn't notice until they left, but the sound is out of sync with my surround system. I didn't have this problem with the Hitachi. I spent several hours, replacing all the cables with HDMI, and everything is still the same. Is this a common problem and is there an easy fix? What am I overlooking? Thanks for any replies.

I misread your original post I guess. I thought you were talking about the lipsync being off from the sound when watching tv or a movie.
Yes it is possible for there to be a slight delay when using a receiver and the internal speakers of the tv. Normally its not too noticable but it can happen. Most people don't watch tv with both sets of speakers on, you either listen to the tv speakers or the receiver not both. I have owned several home theatre systems and sometimes there is a delay from one system to other. Normally not very much though.
Out of curiosity can I ask you why you would watch tv with both on? The correct thing to do would be turn your tv all the way down when using an amplified system or better yet disable the internal speakers of the tv if your using a surround sound system.
This may be exagerated to some extent with the new systems utilizing HDMI connections and advanced processing features. One device is processing the signal at a different rate than the other one so you could in fact get some sort of reverb effect by using both. The delay is going to be in miliseconds though. Or it is possible that the surround sound receiver is utilizing some sort of built in delay to some of the speakers. Where as the tv would not employ any delay at all. It could also have something to do with how the devices are connected or switched. One set up could possibly have less delay than the other.

I can't play iTunes Movies in 5.1 surround on my surround sound system

I like to download iTunes movies to my MacMini from iTunes store. Recently I gave up doing so because I can't play iTunes movies in 5.1 surround on my surround system. My MacMini is connected to my Marantz 6007 SR via HDMI cable. However I can get DTS or 5.1 surround sound from my system with other players such as VLC player.
How can I fix this problem as I really want to buy or rent movies from iTunes store?

Hi komansava,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your Mac Mini is able to output 5.1 audio to your surround sound receiver, but iTunes purchases do not play in surround sound.
When playing iTunes purchases, first see if iTunes is set to output the movie you're playing in surround sound:
Set up iTunes to play content in surround sound
Movies you purchased or rented from the iTunes Store may have stereo audio and digital surround sound tracks. ...
In iTunes, click the Speech Bubble icon to view your audio choices, such as English (Surround). If the surround sound choice is dimmed or the icon doesn't appear, make sure you are using the appropriate hardware and that the content is encoded with digital surround sound.
You can find this information here:
Set up iTunes and your DVD Player for digital surround sound - Apple Support
Best Regards,
Jeremy

Blue ray disc players

I recently bought Vizio blue ray disc player and it has BD live capability. What type of cable do I need to access BD live on my blue ray disc and how do I connect the cable so that I can access the BD live content on my blue ray disc.

We received an Insignia blu-ray player for Christmas. I hooked it up to our Insignia widescreen HDTV and followed the onscreen prompts regarding setup (it's currently in 16:9 widescreen). However, when I play a blu-ray disc, it does not utilize the full screen--it's got vertical bars at the right and left hand sides of the screen. I did not select the "pillar-box" option and really am at a loss as to why the player doesn't utilize the full width of the screen. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
