Does the microphone work on a dvd home theater sound system? If yes, how do you make it work?

Your sound system needs either a 3.5mm or 6.3mm audio input jack (3.5mm-to-6.3mm adapter included). Depending on your sound system's make and model, you will need to follow its manual for instructions on selecting the audio input connecting the microphone.

Yes, I am using this with cord my Behringer microphone. I have to fiddle about with the "Recording devices" screen to make it an input, but yes it works. (Actually, Windows 8.1 Pro, but should work with Home version as well) Also works with XP; I haven't seen if there is a Linux driver for it yet though.

I have not used it with a game system, so I can't answer the 2nd part of your question. I have used it many times with my DVD recorders/players and it is still working.

Do you want the sound to go into your TV from your DVD player? If so, this device won't do that. It converts a digital coaxial signal into an optical signal. I use it to run sound from my TV to my soundbar. My TV only has coaxial out and my soundbar only has optical in.

Mine works well, make sure everything is connected correctly, and that you have the microphone away from as much interference as possible.

I didn't play with it enough to see if the Bluray INPUTS sounds from the HDMI. (I believe the HDMI is for output.) The optical digital is easy to pipe any sound that would normally be coming out of the TV into the bluray. ie VCR, Wii, laptop. Set the bluray on "TV" and it plays whatever the TV speakers would be playing. (I'll have to check if there is an "HDMI input" mode on the Bluray.)-Will

Richard, I run my player with a Behringer 1202 FX mixer and a Peavey IPR 1600 power amplifier and Two Peavey PR-15 speakers. I run three wired microphones and two wireless microphones. This is as professional as I can get with the Acesonic DGX-213. No you cannot connect speakers to the player and expect audio to come out of the RCA jacks on the back, further more you can connect this player to a old receiver amplifier and use your home speakers. I hooked my player up this way and it will work fine. I can watch DVD movies through this payer and my HDTV. Also if your home audio and HDTV are connected and have HDMI connections the karaoke player will work that way also. Hope this helps.

The VocoPro DVD-Duet is not set up to work with a computer, but the microphone inputs can be adapted to accept a computer line output.It's not ideal, but it can be made to work. Thanks Jack.

I've got an identical setup (but a blue ray instead of XBox) and it works. There should be a setting on your home theater system that would allow to transmit sound to rear speakers. I have a Sony 5.1 surround system and I have to press "Sound Field" several times until I find the correct setting... Hope this helps - you can email me at mplavnik@gsb.uchicago.edu for additional questions.

David, This would normally be an easy question to answer, as yes, according to the Sony website, one should see improvements with audio as well as video with this particular upconverting dvd player. Yet what you wrote leaves me with some questions as to your home set-up. Could you please elaborate on how you are connecting your dvd player, receiver, and television together? I only ask because my experience with standard DVD quality audio has always been phenomenal, and not once have I ever felt it was "simple stereo", save for when I watch older movies not encoded in DTS 5.1 or Dolby Digital 5.1 surround.

This microphone works independently of the camera; you can either secure it to the camera or place it nearby. I have one camera with the microphones power and the camera power feeding into a "v" shaped line and then continuing on to the DVR, but the sound has a slight bit of hollowness to it (different power converters) -- but the sound still comes in loud and clear. Good luck! You'll be picking high quality sound from distances greater than you ever anticipated. If you are running your DVR with an HDMI cable to your television, like I am, just adjust the sound level on your television to adjust the sound coming from the microphone.

Don't know if this will work the same on the 550 as with my DVD player.... Occassionally I need to select a choice other than the default on the movie's menu for audio. Hope this helps. You might want to post this on AV Science Forum if you contunie to have problems.

I have no idea, but if the disc doesn't say Audio on the front side, they will not record on my professional recorder.

I also have 2 but they both work, no problems. Have done hundreds of DVD's with them. Sorry, can't help you.

HelloI purchased the kit for my brother who wants to eventually have his license and own his own shop. He did have problems getting the DVD to work at first but It did eventually work on the DVD player. It wasn't the best quality kinda hard to hear and had a home video quality. The demonstration had already started when the video started. Sorry your video didn't work but you didn't miss much.

I would say that if it does not work it could be a problem with the mic or the audio system tha is connected to. The mic has a some options or buttons that you might need to play with but those are just to choose what type of mic will be used. Sorry i DON'T have more, it should work just fine, the power is given by the audio system amp. Do you have an amp?
