Look for audio Left and Right channel outputs (red and white) on the back of the TV, if it has them. Some TVs only have inputs like this (not outputs - out will be clearly labelled if you have them), which won't help. If your TV has these outputs, you can connect them to any input on the back of your Sony receiver. However, even then it may not provide sound for sources connected to the TV (Sat, Cable, Disc) which are connected to your TV using HDMI cables. You could try using a headphone output on the TV plugged into the 3.5mm mini-jack on the back of the Sony, which would work with all sources connected to the TV. To try this just order a stereo connection cable with male 3.5mm plugs on each end. You'd have to turn the volume up some on both the TV and Sony receiver until you find the volume setting that gives you enough range to then control with the Sony remote. Another way would be to use RCA out jacks from the Source device itself, whether that is a cable/sat box or disc player. Then you have to switch audio separately from video on the TV, which can be confusing for some. The underlying issue here is that stereo receivers lack HDMI connections, which combine sound and picture with one cable.

I have my computer connected to my TV, via a HDMI cable; with my TV set as the default playback sound device. This allows me use the sound from my TV for Pandora, YouTube and Windows Media Player (to listen to music). For movies I have the audio output settings on the Daum potplayer and VLC player set to S/PDIF. This allows me to bypass the TV default setting and use the Syba sound adapter connected to my ONKYO receiver via an optical SPDIF to listen to movies in DTS and AC3 sound.

A quick visit to the Audioengine web site (hint!) shows (since I'm at work and cannot look at the back of my speakers at home...) that the system has two input modes: the four RCA (+/-, LR) connectors, and a 3.5mm stereo mini-jack. However, if your TV has only digital outputs available (which would seem odd, to me), some kind of converter would be required, I should think.

Power on your television first and let it boot up all of the way. Then power on the home theater system and it will revert to the last input. That has been the work around that I was able to come up with. Good luck!

There are basically two inputs on this. One is an optical and the other is rca. My tv has an optical out, so everything runs through my television then out to my sound bar. That way if you just want to use the sound from the tv you can.

Sounds silly but are you sure you have the tv set to the proper input setting? (my tv has 4 hdmi inputs) wish I could be more helpful

Hello, Did you ever figure this out? I just bought this TV last night and I'm very happy with it, but I use a surround sound system and have to keep the TV volume on 0. There should be a way to turn the speakers off - right? Thanks for any info.

I didn't see any ouptput audio options so I contacted the company and they said the only output is HDMI. To get a separate audio out J-Tech recommended I purchase this unit plus an "Audio extractor" which takes HDMI in and outputs HDMI plus SPDIF/RCA Stereo.

You can only hook-up a optical connection to a amplifier with such input. Or you can buy a soundbar, but not directly to speakers. any more questions you can reach me a Central TV Inc. >> 330-395-4935 >> gncalugar@gmail.com I hope this info helps, George

There is only one component/composite input, one RF coaxial cable input, and two hdmi inputs(side/rear). I run all my devices through a A/V receiver with the hdmi. There is an optical audio out as well.

I have my system connected the way you have listed (minus the wii) and the tv speakers don't work at all. Any suggestions?

Yes, the input signal, regardless of connector used, is present on all outputs. http://artproaudio.com/downloads/specsheets/ss_dti.pdf

No. Only RCA inputs. Get Schiilt Audio Modi USB DA converter which will also drastically improve the sound, for the hookup.

I used an audio receiver with capable surround sound. Connected tv with digital audio cable. Bought a powered sub-woofer. Great sound. So happy with price vs performance.

No, but if you find out let me know. I never use this because it lacks a basic equalizer. The only think I can think of is to buy an equalizer and run it between the TV and the unit

Sounds like maybe your input is on the wrong setting? My tv connects through an optical cable, so unless I chose the optical input, I won't hear it. Check your inputs and if that doesn't help re-check your connections.
