NEED HELP --- hooking up tv, cable box, home theater

60" Samsung smart TV --- contains several HDMI inputs
Time Warner HD cable box --- contains 1 HMDI input; components as well
LG Home Theater in a box, Model #BH6820SW --- contains 1 HDMI output, red/white aux input, & yellow video output.
Very simple...... I want to turn my TV on, change channels with cable box remote & have my sound from TV come out of this home theater in a box I just bought.
I've been at this for hours and I'm ready to take it back because of the ongoing frustration. I have 3 HDMI cables to use (which obviously I won't need all of them), I have a red/white audio cables and a yellow video cable to use if needed.
Can someone out there PLEASE explain how this can be done?????????
Thanks.

You may be able to do it by running a Digital Optical cable to the Digital optical input on the LG from the TW Cable Box, and a seperate HDMI cable to the TV from the TW Cable box.
Honestly though, I'd take it back and get a an AVR with HDMI switching, a set of speakers, and a standalone Blu Ray player. It'll cost more, but you'll get a better feature set, better performance, and more flexbilty to add more devices down the road.

Need Help choosing a new tv and home theater system.

I can never really keep up with all the new stuff coming out but i am not really looking for anything too fancy just simple. I looking for something around 50" and a blue ray home theater system. My budget is roughly around $2000 or so. the less i spend the better hahhahaha. anyways the only thing i will be hooking up to the tv is the new home theater system, cable and Xbox 360. Any suggestions?

All the 50" tvs are plasma, so I would recommend:
Model: PN50C680G5F | SKU: 120138 Model: YHT-493BL | SKU: 987545 Model: 114011-00 | SKU: 9343356 Model: 114011-00 | SKU: 9343356 Model: BD-C5900 | SKU: 1012858
That's a Samsung 50" 3D Plasma, Blu-ray player, Yamaha Home Theater system, and your 2 HDMI cables. You'll need another HDMI cable for Xbox 360 if you don't have one already to connect to the receiver.

Need help hooking up Maxent 42" Plasma to mac mini

i have a newly acquired maxent 42" plasma product number mx42xm11 i called their rep and he said it wouldnt work but i have read a couple forums where people have gotten other maxent monitors to work i was wondering if someone could help me set this one up.

I searched and found this:
Input/Output connections
2 x Composite video input (RCA phono), 1 x DVI-HDCP (24 pin digital DVI), 2 x S-Video input (4 pin mini-DIN), 2 x HD component input (RCA phono x 3), 1 x VGA input (15 pin HD D-Sub (HD-15)), 6 x Audio line-in (RCA phono x 2), 1 x Subwoofer output (RCA phono), 1 x Audio line-out (RCA phono x 2), 1 x VGA output (15 pin HD D-Sub (HD-15)), 1 x Serial (9 pin D-Sub)
It looks as simple as connecting a standard VGA cable from the Mini to the VGA port. It also listed the resolution as 1024x768, which is a standard 4:3 resolution.
You could also try a DVI cable as long as your DVI input looked similar to tha back of your Mini.
Where would you need help?

Need Help for connectivity USB Cable Nokia 5800 ca...

Hi All,
I really need help to solve my problems. I just bought nokia 5800 XM last week. I already installed the CD software in my windows XP, but it seems that PC cannot recognize the USB cables. I have plug in an unplugged... At firstime it detects my nokia 5800 XM, but when I open PC suite or OVI, it doesn't connect the USB cables into PC. I already install and uninstall The OVI suite but it is still the same, when I try it in OVI suite to detect my phones, it doesn't react.... I also have download from Nokia website to install manually Nokia USB cable driver for my cable type CA-101... it seems nothing works here... tell me what should I do? I don't think that the USB cable I bought is fake, it has original guarantee..... please desperately need help! Anybody?

When you plug the phone into the computer, ON THE PHONE it should ask you which mode to connect in, and you should select "PC Suite" mode. Does this happen?

Need help hooking up HDTV to iMac using Thunderbolt/HDMI on OS Lion

I have been trying to figure out why my HDMI television gives me a "No signal" message when I hook it up to my iMac. It is the 2.5GHz Intel Core i5, running OS X, version 10.7.5.
How do I hook this up? I just bought a new TV and the one I had before this, I used to just hook the HDMI cable in from the Thunderbolt port to the HDMI port on the back of the TV and it would immediately just come on. Now I get a "No signal" message when I do it. Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing?
Thanks.

Do you have another adapter / cable to test with?
what about another port on the TV?
What about trying the old tv?
you could check the display settings:
apple menu
system preferences
show all
displays
arrangement tab (arrangement tab only shows up when the mac detects a 2nd display. )

Connecting HDTV/Dig Cable/Wii/Home Theater Receiver

I have a Samsung 600series HDTV, Yamaha Home Theater Receiver, AT&T Uverse Digital cable box and Nintendo Wii. What is the best way using HDMI and an optical audio cable(s) to route everything through my Receiver? I want to minimize the amount of cables running behind the wall up to my TV.
Right now I have:
- HDMI from Digital cable box up to HDTV
- HDMI from Receiver to HDTV
- Optical audio from HDTV to Receiver
- Wii not currently set up b/c I when connected to the Receiver I couldn't find the proper setting to get this to work
In the current set up, I get full audio out of all 5.1 surround sound speakers with the radio, but when the TV/Cable is on I only get sound from the front L & R. I'm sure it has something to with with my set up because I know all 5 speakers work...
thanks for your help,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

We use the second set up. Works just fine for us. Routes everything neatly to the receiver with one easy to conceal hdmi cable to the t.v.

Help! Suddenly no sound from home theater speakers!

I bought a Sony KDL 46W5100 TV and the BDVE300 Home theater system at BB. I have always had these two hooked up directly to
each other with an HDMI cable and the digital optical cord. There are no other components involved.
We have always had surround sound to the HT speakers when the television speakers are set to 'audio system'
II am in NO WAY an audio/video expert, but I've had to mess with the settings here and there
after one of the kids reset something and I've always been
able to return the system to proper operation.
I am not sure what happened this time, but I cannot get the home theater speakers to give me any sound when in TV mode or
the BD/DVD mode. Theater mode does nothing for the sound either. I know the speakers are connected properly as they work during the 'test' and also when using the FM radio. I also know I am not on 'mute'
I do get video when playing a DVD or blu ray but no sound. I borrowed a BVD E770W, hooked it up and ended up with the same result.
This would lead me to believe that I have some rogue setting in my TV or maybe my HDMI cable is bad? I'm not sure about the
cable as I still have video through it.
I've re-read all my manuals, searched the forums online and I found nothing
Can anyone give me some advice here?
My family would greatly apperciate it

Try unplugging the power cord to TV and Surround receiver for 15-20 minutes. Plug back in and retry. If test tone & tuner have sound, your receiver is working. This will reset your data lines and hopefully restore operation. If not, and the DVD & TV sound hookup is coming thru the TV, the firmware in the TV may need to be updated found here:

RVS4000: Need help with out-of-the-box device

The router is performing very badly.
1. Router's "INTERNET" is connected to ADSL cable modem, providing automatically an IP address.
2. The device is getting "freezed"/"stoned" very often. The longest time record for up-time was just over 1 hour. The shortest up-time was somewhere over 2 minutes.
3. When "freezed" the router:
    a. Still can perform as a switch
    b. No access to WAN
    c. No ping to the router
    d. Green indication lamps.
    e. No access to the web-interface
4. Same behavior with 1.3.0.5, 1.3.1.0 and 1.3.2.0 firmwares
5. Sometimes after "Restore to factory defaults" DIAG-RED led is lit, and does not go off.
6. To get device back helps to power-off it for an hour or two.
Is it possible to get any information from the router, when it is "freezed"

Pavel Kopylov,
It look like we got out of sync. I see you just sent another reply about opening the box Friday.
With it only being Friday, I would take it back to the store I bought it from and get another. The same or better.
======================================================================
If you want to use this as a learning experiance and figure out this problem yourself, then the following maybe for you:
In all of your communications. I hear you saying your RVS-4000 freezes and will not communicate. No in or out of data. Is that correct?
You are also saying, these freezes occur at various times. Correct?
Which I hope this means is that it is working until it stops working...
If that is correct. Then you need to figure out if the problem is coming in over your WAN connection or it's the hardware of the Router itself.
If you think it's the hardware of the Router. Then do things like measure the temperatures of the Router. (Carefully) Try to heat it or cool it to see if this makes it fail, quicker... Check the Voltage to this Router and make sure it's correct and you are not getting Black outs or brownouts, etc... Also check for lose data connectors. (Watch the lights on the front panel)
However, If you think this is from a TCP/UDP attack on your Router. Then you can place a HUB between your Router and the Cable/DSL Modem and the Router. Next plug in a PC into the same HUB and run Network Software Monitoring on this PC in Continues Record mode. Until a failure. Then go thru the Data and see what you find.
There are a few free Network Software Monitoring Tools you can find and download. Even Microsoft has a nice one for free. Microsoft Network Monitor 3.x
You can also buy another Router. The same or better and if you have the same kind of problems. Then it just might be coming in over your connection. And the new Router can then be returned as its still new.
You can call Cisco and or your local ISP and work with them on this problem.
These are just a few Ideas... I'm sure others will have even more.

Need help on development of check box

Hi All,
We need to place a "Select All" Checkbox at top of the another checkbox(CB_1) in the form.Where CB_1 is associated with the form fields)
Our Requirement is, when we click on "Select All" checkbox it should select the CB_1 check box(all the records to be selected in that form)
Could any one please help me out?
Thanks in advance,
Dhana

You should start by extracting the tangosol-coherence-override-dev.xml, tangosol-coherence-override-eval.xml, tangosol-coherence-override-prod.xml from coherence.jar. These override files allow you to override the tangosol-coherence.xml with your own changes.
Once you have extracted these you can use the new custom override file by setting the system property -Dtangosol.coherence.override to the custom file location
The primary reference for the override file is http://wiki.tangosol.com/display/COH35UG/Operational+Configuration+Elements

Poor student researcher in desperate need help hooking up an Adam 4017 and 4018m to windows 7 computer!

I need the most cost effective way to record data off of these loggers. Im supposesd to begin a project on friday. Dasylab? Anything. If I can just collect the numbers in a folder I can process.
Please help.
Thanks

Do you have LabVIEW?
If you do, start searching the forums. Questions about Adam modules have come up before. If you are still stuck, then post back with specific questions.
If you want help with DasyLab, then you've come to the wrong place. Try posting in the DASYLab forum.

Need help configuring Airport Express in my home observatory

Hi
Is is possible to use my Airport Express (newest version) ethernet port to connect my Vixen Sphinx Mount which has a port to my home network to control using my computer?
If so how should I configure. It is currently extending my network.
Thanks
Herbert

If your AirPort Express has been configured to extend the network, then the LAN <-> Ethernet port is already enabled.
Check to make sure it is working by temporarily connecting a laptop or desktop computer using an Ethernet cable. Temporarily, turn off the wireless on the computer.
If the computer can connect to the Internet, then you know that the port on the Express is operating correctly.
We can't help on the setup of the actual Vixen product, but if it connects to a network using a normal Ethernet connection, it should work with the proper set up.
