5.1 but no sound, doh. HELP PLEASE
Did you buy it used? Does it have an A/B speaker switch?
hi thx 4 commenting, i really need sum help! it is used but it was my brothers and it was working when he had it setup. he has droped it off to me and gone on holiday so im stuck 4 help. i cant see any switches relevant to the speakers at all. i have a phillips 32pw9525 tv and loads of spare cables for connecting things, im normaly quite good with settting things up but this is really confusing me.
i downloaded the manual off web and that shows u how to set it up which is all really just common sense, but it doesnt hav a lot off helpfull info. all speakers are connected properly and the amps connected to the dvd player, picture and sound from tv but nothing from speakers, i would expect even if tv not connected the speakers should be working when playing dvd or cd?? my brother did say one thing when he gave it to me and that was that it had to be connected through tv for the 5.1 speakers to work, that it wouldnt work as a stand alone player for say music with out going through the tv. the speakers go into amp unit and that is connected to dvd player, ive tried connecting all extras like tv/aux video/aux in/out into the tv to try to get some kind of route for the sound but it doesnt work or make sense to me. ive done all the logical things including trying all settings via remote but it wont recognise the speakers are there, speaker test wont come up and super surround buton brings up 'error' on player. its really starting to kill me, i just want it to work and cant see why it isnt. I REALLY WOULD APPRECIATE HELP FROM ANYONE, ESPECIALY SOMEONE WHO HAS A SC-DT100 SET UP ALLREADY.
BOTH THIS PROBLEM AND I PROBABLY SOUND SILLY AND SIMPLE TO MOST OF YOU WHO READ THIS BUT PLEASE, PLEASE OFFER ME SOME HELP IF YOU CAN!!
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.
Have you tried connecting audio rca connectors from the only the amp to the ones on the back of your tv? bypassing the dvd player so that only a video cable is connected to it, and the audio connections are only between the anp and the tv?
