How to get sound from a Sony blu-Ray player (BDP-5100/BX510). Works fine when I hook player up to the tv directly, but no sound connected via kinivo.

One of your HDMI cables may be defective or non compliant. Try hooking up the Blu-Ray player directly to the TV twice, once with each cable, to verify that sound will pass through both of them. If both cables work, then the switch likely has a problem. In that case, see if you get the same problem no matter which switch port you use.

I have the same issue with the DG710 (only difference is one less HDMI and 10watt less per channel, otherwise, same unit) and the only solution was to set all outputs to "Bitstream" I spent an hour with Sony on the phone and could not get the receiver to play 5.1 PCM from any source but a PS3 game, why, I don't know, I tried 4 different Blu-Ray disk. I am exchanging mine through Amazon for a new one, I don't know what I'll do if the new one doesn't work. Some people have claimed the Lossless audio works great (lossless is PCM only) yet CNet reviewed and claimed it mixed all PCM to 2.1, which is what both of our units have done. Apparently it's a hit or miss issue, some work, some don't. I hope I get a good one next time.

It may be better to connect devices straight to the tv, but I have an elite 101-fd, so it doesn't even have audio out. So I'd have to use my oppo player's 2 hdmi IN and use optical and then have ne device with no sound.

What 2 channel types do you have?I tried connecting my Bose directly to the PS3's digital optical port, which works perfectly fine. In fact, I think the quality is slightly better than hooking it up from the TV's digital optical output but the only limitation is that you won't be able to output regular tv from your bose speakers.

Try putting in a USB memory stick and then updating firmware. You could plug another blu ray player in to this device using an optical digital cable. I plugged an Xbox in that way, until throwing the whole thing away and swearing off LG devices in this line. The player is junk and LG washed their hands of it and orphaned it.

I have a Sony Home Theater Blu Ray surround sound system and no problems. On my Sony I turned Audio setting for the HDMI off. All sound goes through the Optical Cable. I also have BluRay disk set with External Speaker only sound. I'm really guessing the problem is in your Yamaha set up or wires. Just ensure optical wire is pushed all the way in. Good luck.

FYI yes it does. If the audio feed from the Blu Ray goes into the tv audio input then audio out from the tv will enter sp 120 audio.input via optical.or phono hookup and it works. Just the same thanks for responding.

I hooked up a blueray dvd player and surround speakers to my receive and they work perfectly. there are 4 hdmi connections to connect your blueray/dvd player, a game player, sat/cable, and video. there is another hdmi that connects the sony to your tv.

I encountered same problem. In June 2010 (18 months after purchase), my Sony BDP-550 stopped recognizing Blu-Ray disks. All other types of disks still work. Sony had me upgrade the firmware and reset device to factory settings. No effect. The Sony customer support people pretend that they have never heard of this problem. I sent them a dozen on-line reports by others who talked to Sony and were also told to upgrade the firmware without effect. Now, I am trying to get a written quote for the replacement of this defective BDP-550, but Sony will not provide it. They want me to mail them the player with a credit card number without ever providing written estimate.

I had the same problem. You can make it work and keep the sound on the speakers if you use either the optical output or the digital output from your TV or receiver. Neither will probably work initially when you hook it up to the TV link. The key is that you will have to go to each source box (directTV box, playstation, cable box, etc.) and edit the settings and change the audio output from Dolby Digital to PCM. Once you do that, the TV link will work great, and you can still have sound from the speakers at the same time.

I bought a Yamaha sound bar that only connects to my TV. On the back of it is the place to connect the TV to the soundbar. The TV said Digital sound and the Yamaha only has optical sound I had to get the extra cord to make the connection work properly. Apparently this is very common with many electronic devices. The cables are much more expensive at local retailers.

Hi Dennis, Try pressing the test tone button on the remote, and see if your getting sound from all speakers. Also, did you use the RCA cables from the BD player to the Onkyo? ( one for each speaker ) Don't forget to choose the right format from the Blu-ray disk ( Dolby truehd / DTS HD master audio ) If your still having a problem, let me know..I can probably walk you through a little more detail.

Mark, I am considering buying a Sony KDL-40EX700 TV and a BDV-E770W or BDV-570 Blu-ray Disc Player Home Entertainment sytem. I went to the Sony web site and contacted David P. on their chat link and asked the HDMI hook up question.His reply is as follows: "I'd be happy to assist you with that. There is one HDMI connection on those systems that connects to your Television. Once you have connected that, you would then plug any other devices that you have (Cable Box, Game Systems etc) to your TV via HDMI and it will send the sound to the surround sound system." Sounds like it should work but have yet to try it. Good luck. Mark, I am considering buying a Sony KDL-40EX700 TV and a BDV-E770W or BDV-570 Blu-ray Disc Player Home Entertainment sytem.

Where did you get the firmware 2.5 ? My BD-P1500 is having problems reading new bluray discs.

It is wifi ready, not wifi built-in. Meaning you have to plug something else in to receive the signal. The problem is that many USB adapters do not work with sony blu ray players. Sony says only their $80 adapter will work. What Janean and everyone is asking which USB adapters will work besides Sony's.

with this particular sound system, you have to hook the receiver up to the TV via HDMI, then hook your blu ray player up to your TV via HDMI, and then run an optical digital audio cable from your TV to the sound receiver. there aren't enough HDMI inputs/outputs to hook everything up via the receiver. hope this helps.
