Sony HT-CT100 sound bar with sub woofer

I just set up this system with my TV and I am getting very good sound, however nothing that even remotely sounds like surround sound.
Question:  I  connected my TV to the woofer with an HDMI cable.  I also have a satellite tuner connected to the TV.  Do I also need to connect the satellite tuner to the woofer?  Would this improve the sound ?  The satellite tuner cannot accept a HDMI cable but the instruction book tells me what kind of cables I would have to buy.
Thank you very much.

You can plug the satallite into the sub woofer, however it won't make the 3.1 sound more like surrond sound. It will enable you to hear your satilitte through the soundbar. I agree with the above recommendation of getting an audio calabration, that will help make sure the sound is reaching all seating areas of the room, making it sound more like surround sound. Hope that helps

    I would like to play music from my iphone 5s on a sound bar with an iphone 3 dock. Is there an adapter available that will play audio please?

    The genuine Apple adapter works for me, most cheap knockoffs do not support sound ,it is usually in the micro print at bottom of the ebay offerring
    It is pricey by comparison but it works and the knock offs usually don't pay the patent  licence fee hence they guess the technology that is in the lightning plug
    and charge a minimal price

    okay i installed the officiall driver on your first link. im not interested in extra features at the moment....im more concerned with just getting sound out of all my speakers. i uninstalled the creative driver i had. then i used a utility called Driver Sweeper to get rid of all registry keys, software, etc. i turned off the auto driver install thing, and then rebooted. i ran the setup.exe and it installed everything without errors. i rebooted, and when i came back, i had sound from my sub, my right rear speaker, and my center channel. so its acting as a 2. but instead of having my front right and left being the 2 speakers....my center channel and rear right are acting as my 2 speakers. i have done everything i know to do in order to get sound.
    i moved some of the speaker wires that directly into the sub around, and was able to get sound from my front right speaker and center channel, and sub. but all that did was move the sound to another speaker. i still only have 2.. i've changed it to 5. in the Creative Audio Console, as well as the control panel>sound. i am at a loss for what to do. seems like not many are having problems with not getting sound at all. any more help?

  • Sound bar with iPhone dock at reasonable price?

    I'm looking for a sound bar/home theater system for my girlfriend that she can also put her iPhone into for music. Looking to keep it under $300... Any suggestions?

    I've installed the iLive and it's horrible. Every time I've set it up has been for TV use and not for ipod use though.
    I bought my mom the Kicker iK501 for Christmas and it's amazing! It actually has it's own passive subwoofer. I would highly recommend it.
    If you're looking more for a surround sound you would probably looking at a home theater in a box, especially to keep it within the $300 price range. The samsung HT-D5300 is a little over your price range, but it can also play blu-ray discs.
    I am a Home Theater Geek Squad Installer. I know my stuff and love to give advice, but don't hold me responsible when you screw something up because you decided to do it yourself instead of having a professional do it.

  • Can I pair a sony sound bar with my apple tv?

    My goal is to use my sony soundbar with my apple tv and receiver to airplay music

    under the menu it has bluetooth pairing option.   Thats the reason I bought the apple tv vs the airport.

  • Problem connecting Apple TV2 to projector when passing through Sony Sound Bar

    I'm having problems getting my Apple TV2 to work now that I'm passing it through my new Sony HT-CT150 Sound Bar to my Epson Megaplex Projector MG-850 (720p) Projector. I keep getting a "Not Supported" error on my projector - as opposed to a "No Signal" error which is what happens if I was to unplug the Apple TV.
    My HDMI cables are all new and latest specs. I can connect the Apple TV directly to projector with either cable and it works fine. I have a 6 ft HDMI connecting the Apple TV to one of the Sony Sound Bar's 3 HDMI inputs and then a 40 ft. HDMI running from the sound bar's HDMI out to the projector's single HDMI input. Oddly, if I reverse the cables, it seems to work. Same two cables - just switching which one is connected to the Apple TV and which is connected to the projector. (I need the length to get to where my projector is positioned. Though I might be able to get by with a 30 ft. cable if length might be the issue.)
    Anyway I think it must have something to do with the HDMI handshake or the lenth of the cables but don't know enough about it and have no idea why switching which cable comes first would fix the problem.

    Ok,  I will ask the question in another way... My apple tv has one hdmi, and it goes to my hd projecter.. But projecter has no speakers, and as a result I've no sound at the moment. I am looking for a clear direction to go in, to solve lack the of any sound.. My only option seems to be, using the optical out from the apple tv.. I don't have  any equipment with this conecter. And I've never used optical before..   If i buy an, optical to twin phono converter and then I can plug into a large powered speaker I've got in my living room. And I will have big sound easily..?? Do I have any other reasonable options for optical enabled speakers, or AirPlay speakers or something simple I'm not aware of that will give me sound easily.. I don't want a messy 5:1 system, my house is very tidy, and I want to keep it that way. .  Only having this optical out is frustrating, and I need to get my head round the options I have.   Anyone understand from experience how to use the optical apple tv out.  Also, not  using anything but apple tv, no dvds, or tv , just apple tv and my ipad.. Is very quiet in my home right now though.  Ric

  • Sony XBR55X800B no sound on just netflix and amazon prime video

    I just got this new tv and the sound works perfect on cable tv (hdmi) , plex app (local video streaming) , chromecast (hdmi) and even works with the pandora app but the second i switch to netflix or amazon video no sound... i have contacted sony checked all the settings with them. They even did the whole remote tv access then i spoke to netflix which they concluded its my internet connection not allowing me to hear sound while picture is coming in great with no lag.. i have a sound bar (with arc) but the issue happens even when the soundbar is disconnected. Sony and netflix made it seem like i am the only one that has this issue, hard to believe so does anyone have any suggestions or should i just return the tv? 
    thank you in advance! 

    Start from the beginning. Disconnect soundbar and switch TV audio back to "TV Speakers" Turn off any Bravia Sync features and update software on the TV. Test Netflix with this configuration.
    If that doesn't work try a HD video on You Tube. Next do a speedtest on your network with your PC, laptop, tablet, etc. You should have a minimum of 5-7 Mbps dl to stream HD content smoothly.
    Next try running a network cable to your router instead of wifi.
    If none of that works I'm out of ideas. I would definitely begin with a software update on the TV.

  • MacBook Pro to Samsung sound bar Bluetooth not connecting

    Hello all,
    I recently purchased a Samsung sound bar with bluetooth connectivity. I can connect my iPhone 5s to it and stream music with no problem. But when I try to connect my MacBook Pro, it simply connects and promptly disconnects. I have tried shut down, restart, and even unplugging the battery on the MacBook with no luck.
    I am running OSX 10.9.3 with all available updates.
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    Thanks,
    Jerry

    Same here I'm using a Samsung HW-H550 Sound Bar - Connect's with iPhone/iPad on IOS 7.1.1 on my Mac Book Pro Retina OS X 10.9.3. Having no joy even went down the root of deleting the Bluetooth Pref file  didn't work either.
    Looking forward to any workable solution

  • Sony iPod Dock Not Compatible with iOS 4

    I play a 3GS through a Sony HD-radio with a dock on the top. Upgrading the 3GS to 4.0 resulted in a popup that says "this accessory is not compatible with iPhone." It was yesterday - now it isn't. Apple: Did you break accessory compatibility on purpose? If not, will you please fix?
    Message was edited by: Four to the Side

    I invested in a nice expensive Sony wireless speakers sound system with an iphone dock. Worked perfectly until the stupid 4.0 update came out, and now it brings out the same stupid error message all the time and I can't play any streaming media, on the sound system, which was the main reason I bought the originally compatible sound system. Great job apple !! They are trying to expand too fast, and now they are producing mediocre products ! I am really upset about this ! I just want to downgrade the **** software back to 3.1 and then never update it again :?

  • Toshiba 32 inch Insignia Sound Bar

    Recently I purchased a Toshiba TV, after discovering it only had a strange looking "optical audio output" plug. I realized that traditional hook-up to a sound bar with "RCA" jacks would be impossible without a converter.  I would like for someone
     to advise me exactly what I need, and exactly what I need to ask for so that I can enjoy both purchases, please! Thank you in advance.

  • IMac and LG Sound Bar

    Hi,
    I have a late 2012 iMac 27-inch. I have an LG Sound bar that I want to use with the Mac for watching movies and playing music etc. I have paired the sound bar with the Mac via Bluetooth, it pairs fine and the sound comes through. However, the sound is not in sync with whats on the screen. When I used the sound bar on the tv I was able to access the menu and adjust sync etc either through the TV or the sound bar but the sound bar menu does not come up on the Mac screen when paired (I'm not surprised by this, I didn't expect it to). Any advice on syncing sound on an iMac or how to do it another way? Any help much appreciated!
    Rob.

    This site covers JP1 programming, which is the connector in the battery compartment:http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/ I don't know if there is an existing code that may work, and you could do some key mapping to put the codes on the volume keys. Othewise, you would have to add your own upgrade using a JP1.x cable. You can ask on the forums to see if anyone knows something. I didn't see an obvious upgrade in the files section. Some of the more advanced people can use files from other remotes to create upgrades.

  • Sound Bar installation help

    I have a panasonic sound bar with HDMI in and an optical in. The Panasonic Plasma does not have any hdmi outs neither does the blu ray player. I have the optical hooked up and it works but I do not think that is the best option. Any ideas?

    #Re: Sound Configuration PLEASE HELPM Thank you for your response! Sadly, iTunes, and IE, and Aion do not have configuration options to select where you want the sounds to come out of. WoW does and I love them for it. I'd like to know why this is not standard practice in?applications these days. Also, I certainly dont know anything about programming but couldn't?Creative?build in a feature that detects different applications on your system and asks you where you want to hear each of?those apps?
    Oh, and by the way, my headset (headphones) are USB. I notice you said "(or a USB headset)" which makes me think?since I am using?a USB headset (sorry i didnt mention that to begin with) then what i want to do is possible?
    Basically what?I need to do is assign vent to one setting?(USB headphones) and all others to another setting (speakers)?Again, when I change vent settings, it changes it for the entire computer instead of just Ventrilo. Maybe a Ventrilo problem? Seems Creative should be able to handle this though.
    Thanks again, I do appreciate your input

    It seems that my bluetooth driver crashed or anything. Tried it with an other MacBook and worked fine. Called the Apple- and LG-Support.
    The Apple-Supporter told my to reinstall my OS X. Crashed. I´ll start a complete new installation today.
