Why is it when I hook up my computer to the Sony through HDMI and plug it into the SAT slot and hit sat I hear sound but no picture?

Hi Jim, the picture will come from the OUT slot on the receiver, the SAT slot only receives audio and video signals. - Ella

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.

Glad to help. DVI will only carry a video signal with no audio. It will send the picture from your HP to your Sony. But you will need to run a audio cable from your computer to the TV for sound. The nice thing is most Sony TV's have a analog sound input( RCA red and white or a 3.5 headphone jack) that you can assign to a HDMI port.

Try hooking up to the tv first. The computer should recognize the recommended format and resolution. If that don't work then it could be your graphics card on your computer is outdated if your tv is a newer model.

I'm sorry, I've only tried HDMI, but that works fine. Can you try that connection, just to your tv temporarily to verify everything is working?

Playstations are weird with their display outs. Make sure you're sending a resolution you TV supports. Put frozen back in and see. Check connections.

I am having same problem, tried the fix that Sam suggested, laptop does not find the camera. What do you mean by "pressing play?" I don't see "play" within the software. Thanks for any help you can give.

Check you T.V Settings make sure you have them set up to the sony. Sounds like you don't have them connected correctly.

This is a major oversight. Unless there is a firmware update available, this means that anyone using an HDMI or DVI signal from a set top box will not be able to see undistorted, (unstretched), SD. I don't know how this could pass Sony QA.

All I can tell you is to call Sony and explain the situation. In my case I was getting no sound except from fm unless I did a reset. They walked me through a procedure where I shut off or disabled various hdmi functions and that solved the problem and said there was probably some conflict with some of the devices connected to the receiver.

tell me what outputs your laptop has. if nothing else...your LT probably has hdmi out...run that to your tv direct and use the headphone out and an adaptor cable to run that to the hk

You should be able to use a DVI cable with the audio cable giving you sound and picture I had the same problem and it worked for me.

My cable did nothing at all when plugged it into the laptop and then to the tv. It is possible I got a bad cable, and it just didn't work. I also got a new tv and the hdmi port on my laptop works when i use an hdmi cable to connect to the tv from the laptop. I didn't bother sending it back or anything because it was so cheap

I had a similar problem. First the screen was blue then completly blank. I took it to a sony service center and they had to replace the ribbon cable that feeds the screen. Seems this is a common defect.

Yes and No... PIP on this TV lets you view 1 digital (HDMI) input and 1 analog (coax, composite, component, or VGA/RGB) input at the same time. You cannot view 2 digital inputs or 2 analog inputs at the same time. Assuming you are using HDMI for both your computer and cable/sat, you will need to switch one of them to an analog input to use the PIP feature for it. You could either use VGA for your computer, or use component for your cable/sat (both are capable of HD, so you really don't lose anything, you just need some extra cables). The easiest solution would be to use VGA for your computer instead of HDMI/DVI (most video card outputs have at least one combination DVI port which can output VGA with a cheap adapter, these adapters are usually included with the video cards, or the computer if the card came preinstalled). If VGA is not an option for you, then you will have to use an analog connection for your cable/sat. Most cable/sat receiver boxes have multiple video outputs that can be hooked up and used simultaneously. You can leave your HDMI hooked up, and simply add component cables to it, just remember to switch your TV input over to component when you need to use PIP. NOTE: Unlike HDMI, which carries both video and audio, analog video cables only carry video signals, so you will also need to run stereo RCA cables as well to get sound through the TV.

make sure the reciever has been set to "component input" for the DVD input. You can find this in the setup screen for the reciever. It may be set to HDMI and therefore does not know to search for signal on the component inputs.
