Samsung LED HDTV + Samsung BlueRay Home Theater Setup...

I just bought the systems listed above - and I'm trying to figure out how to get the TV setup to play through the Home Theater components.  I can get the Radio to play, through the speakers but I am not that familiar with setting these things up.  Much better at computers than TV/theater systems.  So, with that said - I got all the correct HDMI cables from necessary - 2 of them But can anyone tell me where to go to show (better than the documentation provided by the manufacturer) how to put these together and get them to work??????? 
Hope someone can help me!
thanks in advance....

Thanks for the Cable Box connection instruction.  I am sure I would have banged my head on that one. 
Just bought the same TV-HT (only difference being the TV is the 55" 7100).
I have one more Q regarding this setup.   How do I connect an XBOX360 w/ HDMI output to this system?  My first thought was that I could take the XBOX360 HDMI out and connect it to the HDMI input on the receiver, but that was my first thought with the set top cable box
Thanks in advance,
Hatch

  • Wireless home theater setup

    Hi,
    I already have a BD- D6500 blueray player which came with my samsung smart tv D7000. Now, I want to buy a good home theater but it seems all the samsung home theaters come with blueray players. Is there any way I can buy a wireless home theater without a player. My present player supports 3D, Wifi and all that. I welcome any suggestions. Thanks,
    James

    I would reccomend a "Build your own" sound system. If you can find a HITB (home theater in a Box) that has a full reciever with speakers that has 3D passthrough, it would be the least expensive option. Denon use to have a good HTIB option. From there if you want to go "wireless" there are universal wireless kits that you can use.
    I can go into more detail if you have any specific questions.

  • New Home Theater Setup

    Hi everyone,
    looking for some ideas. This may be the wrong category, so let me know if I should change it...
    Right now I am running my iMac that has an external USB 1TB hard drive where I store recorded TVshows / my DVDs that I have ripped. I am using the mini-DVI port to DVI connector and am running a DVI to HDMI cable to my 52" LCD. I do the same with a stereo mini. This allows me to watch shows full screen which is great.
    I am looking for a good way to separate my "media center" from my Mac so they run more autonomously. My problem with going straight to a Mac Mini or Apple TV, is that they use iTunes/Quicktime codecs and my content is mainly DIVX and AVI. Using Front Row is terrible with these file types.
    Does anyone have ideas for the best way of accomplishing this? I have done some reading into SageTV/Popcorn Hour etc., and it seems like they would be reasonable options as I can connect external hard drives and link to my Mac via local Networking. I want the all in one solution that comes with a remote.
    The second option would be to think about a TV tuner as well as my PVR can't export shows, which means I have to download them later.
    any thoughts?
    thanks!!

  • Watch iTunes on Samsung TV/home theater

    Hi,
    I would really like to watch my iTunes purchases on my Samsung 52" HDTV.  I currently have:
    Samsung 52" HDTV (LN52A550P3FXZA)
    Samsung 7.1 blu-ray Home Theater (HT-C6730W/XAA)
    iTunes is on my Lenovo 520 laptop and I have a wireless network which the blu-ray is connected to and I've successfully watched Netflix and vudu on the home network.
    I've searched until my head throbs on how to connect these 3 and to actually see/hear my shows/movies with no success.  If anyone can help, I would be very grateful.  Thanks in advance!

    Didn't realize I would have to state that YES, I know about HDMI cable and already have 2 available, the help I'm requesting is HOW to connect them so I can get picture and sound.

  • Hooking up mini to home theater

    Good afternoon.
    I have a 1st gen Mac Mini. I want to hook it up to my home theater setup to be able to stream my videos, music, photos to my HDTV. What's the best way to connect this to my setup (i.e., what cables, connectors, etc.)?
    Thanks.

    I should expound on the AppleTV, yes you can keep the MM in an office and as long as it is within Wi-Fi range of the AppleTV which woudl be connected to your TV  you can stream video, audio, photos etc to it. I have a movie collection on my iMac of roughly 350 movies and 20-30K sounds and thousands of photos. Streaming using an AppleTV is extremely easy and the quality is very good. Considering you can get ATV's from Apple refurbished for only $75 cost is hardly a consideration. It worked so well that my wife insisted we get a second ATV to connect to the TV in the kitchen so she can stream media while she's in there.

  • Looking for home theater

    I'm looking to add surround sound to my home theater setup. I'm not exactly what i need or where to start. I have a 47" lcd tv, a ps3, and my dish reciever that i would like to have all hook up through surround sound.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi nick,
    Welcome to the Community!
    There are many possibilities for the audio portion of your home theater.
    The easiest thing to do is select an All-In-One Home Theater System (sometimes called a Home Theater-In-A-Box).  This will contain the audio receiver, speakers, and wires.
    Whether shopping for each component separately or as a set, here's what you need to consider:
    Make sure you have the inputs and outputs on the receiver you'll need to properly connect your current and planned devices.
    For speakers, consider whether you want 5 or 7 speakers, or a sound bar.  You can demo the differences in the Best Buy store.  Also consider whether you want to run wires for the rear speakers or have a wireless setup.
    Also consider whether you'll be adding things like Blu-ray or internet content into the mix.  This can help you decide whether to get a system with Blu-ray or internet connectivity built-in or a standalone system.
    To get started, here are some helpful links:

  • Can't install Dolby Home Theater after upgrading to windows 10

    HI, I have an Acer v3 572g.  I upgraded from win 8.1 to win 10. Everything is working fine except that the upgrading process completely removed the Dolby Home Theatre application and its drivers and automatically installed the Realtek high definition drivers, after I found out about it, I tried some tips I found online , this is what I did: Downloaded the audio drivers from the Acer website, uninstalled the default audio drivers then, I installed the acer drivers followed the installation process restarted my computer after that, I try to run the DolbyHomeTheater installer found in the PCEE4 folder but after I open the setup file it says: DHT cannot be installed. it doesn't explain why it cannot be installed whatsoever. I can't get this app installed no matter what I do, I've tried different things like installing and uninstalling multiple times, running the setup in compability mode... I don't know what to do now Any help will be very appreciated. 

    Hi! Thanks for your reply, I did exactly what you suggested but it didn't work for me. I'm able to install the audio drivers but when I try to run the Dolby Home Theater setup, it gives the same error "DHT cannot be installed" I now tried running the setup in troubleshoot compability mode it says: "Settings applied: Windows compability mode: Skip version check.Then, I click on test program but get the "DHT cannot be installed" error.After that, Windows compabilty troubleshoot asks me whether the problem is fixed or not, I click "no" then it says: "issues found: Incompatible program: DolbyHomeTheater is incompatible." But the odd thing is I'm able to install Dolby Advanced Audio v2 and not DHT v4,
    I don't know if this is an issue with Windows 10 and Dolby, Acer or both are working on it or something went wrong during the upgrading process...
     

  • How to interface SC-HT800v Panasonic Home Theater with New Samsung LED/LCD 6500 series TV

    I don't see how the 14 pin cable coming out of the subwoofer will connect to the new TV or our new Blue Ray player Samsung BD-C5500.  We currently have no receiver since that was in the Panasonic VCR/DVD that we have abandoned.  Can you confirm this & also offer a suggestion of a new home theater system?  Thanks, Susan

    Buy a Samsung Home Theater soundbar system. That will fit your needs perfectly not to mention you will be able to control your TV, Blu-Ray, and the sound system with a single remote control.

  • HDTV advice Samsung LED or Sony XBR?

    I am getting a HDTV LCD for the 1st time and wanted to know if anyone has any experience, good or bad with the Samsung LED 6000 series 46" or the Sony XBR 46"?
    Saw them both at Best Buy today.
    I guess I can use it with a mini too if I need too.
    thanks in advance

    I cannot address the technical issues, but I can offer the advice to get the Best Buy extended warranty, particularly if you purchase a Samsung. If you have a problem later on than the local technicians cannot fix, Samsung customer service is terrible. The Best Buy warranty has "lemon" coverage that, unless they've changed the terms, will provide a replacement if the unit can't be fixed.
    If you want comparisons between the two systems in terms of picture and audio quality, I'd suggest asking in the AVS Forums:

    That's a great place for advice on AV and home theater gear.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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!

    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.

  • 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.

  • Samsung DVD Home Theater HT-X50 "Made for iPod"

    We purchased the Samsung Home Theater system because it had "Made for iPod" on the box and player. We couldn't get it to recognize the USB source, so I checked the manual. NONE of the compatible devices listed are iPod's. I called Samsung technical support, and they told me I should have read the manual before purchasing the player. Has anyone else had this experience?

    Page 19 of the users manual.
    "AUX1 : Connecting an External Analog Component/iPod MP3
    You can listen to the audio from an External Analog Component/iPod MP3 player through the main unit.
    1 Connect AUX IN 1 (Audio) on the Home Theater to the Audio Out of the external analog component/
    iPod MP3.
    2 Press the AUX button on the remote control to select <AUX1> input.
    - You can also use the FUNCTION button on the main unit.
    The mode switches as follows : DVD/CD ➝ DIGITAL IN ➝ AUX 1 ➝ AUX 2 ➝ USB ➝ FM.
    • When the unit is powered on and you connect an iPod MP3 player, the unit will charge your iPod's battery."

  • 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.
