Do I understand correctly, that if I play a DVD or Amazon Instant Video on my Windows laptop, I won't be able to send the sound to the PS1 speaker?

Unless they changed the app recently (haven't used it in a while) the only thing it really works with are mp3's you put on your media server and streamed audio stations.

Dear Sir, Does your DVD/BluRay have audio input RCA interface? If it has such interfaces, you can apply a RCA to 3.5mm adapter to make it work.

The speakers have to plug into the DVD box it comes with. If you want to have your PS3 play sound through the speakers, you have 2 options, (unless you have a TV with arc HDMI. I did not have this.) Your first option, use an optical audio cable to direct the sound from te TV to the DVD box. Your second option, use A/V cables to play sound from the PS3 or TV to the DVD box. If you don't have those cables, you can find them for pretty cheap in various places. I used A/v for my Xbox until I bought an optical audio cable. They both work well, but you'll get better results with the optical audio cable. Bare in mind, you'll have to have the DVD box on in order for the sound to come through. Hope this helps!

I do not have that problem on my system. You do have to change the setting on the receiver with the remote to match the HDMI input you selected. If your doing that and your not getting sound and your speaker setting is correct then you might have a problem with the HDMI ports.

Can't figure out why the speaker is recognized by my laptop and then automatically goes into offline mode. The blue light continuously flashes but the speaker will not work with the laptop.

I have systems with Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. I haven't tested all aspects with both, but can attest it operated immediately when I plugged it into a Win 8.1 laptop. It should both play back and burn audio discs, DVDs, and will read software programs recorded on optical discs. What it will NOT do is handle Blu-ray formats.

Depending on your disk drive (it has to be rated for Blue Ray) able to play . You need proper drivers for what windows system you are using. I have a E6500 in my system and I have a DVD recorder and with no problems.

Use HDMI into your receiver and it will drive 7.1 speakers with no problems, assuming that your video is encoded for 7.1 sound.

You can choose different audio inputs for HDM1, for example either get the sound from the HDMI cable or one of the optical inputs. I don't know if that answers your question but that's currently what I'm running, to either play the sound from the TV itself (Optical in) or form the Cable Box (HDMI in).

Tom,Yep, did the test tone both from the Onkyo and BD player. All 6 speakers responded. I did set the BD player for PCM for all formats for 5.1ch. It's my understanding when using the Onkyo DVD Multichannel during playback, the Onkyo ignores its own speaker settings and uses whatever is coming from the BD player. Perhaps I need to tinker with the speaker settings in the BD player. Thanks,Dennis

Rick, try going to your Sound controls from your "Control Panel" buttons. I recently connected to a TV through my HDMI and I find that I have to manually switch the sound there from "Speakers" (which is my computer sound) to "NVidia Hi-Def Audio" in order to get sound to the TV if I'm trying to watch something on Hulu over there. One annoying glitch though: The switch only allows for you to change your "Default" settings (be sure to hit default if "apply" by itself doesn't work... that's what I have to do.) so you then have to go through the procedure each time you change. Annoying, but workable if you don't have to do it a whole lot. - MJM

Hi Miranda,Being a DVD player only (and not a surround system/DVD combo), you only have the standard digital output (coax style, NOT optical) and the red/white RCA outputs. You would need to purchase an amplifier to hook your speakers to after using the 2 outputs I just described. What model is your old Philips? If I can look that one up, I can probably give you an even better answer.Mike

Mine registers my wii and dvd player well. I don't know about speakers alone, my surround sound is connected differently. I have to unplug the power cable for the little white box and replug it back in each time i want to use it, for some reason it wont register if i dont. But i have never had connection problems besides that. I have a vizio smart led tv and i connected the box to a hdmi cable and then to the tv. For the price its a decent find. If the price ever goes up though I wouldn't buy since i do have to replug it every time i use it.

You might have issues there. I'm getting Audio through my other ports as I have had both a PS3 and Wii U hooked up to the unit as well as a Computer from time to time. I've never had any trouble getting Audio through the HDMI. Do you have good cables? If you haven't swapped the cable from your other device, there are plenty of OLDER HDMI cables out there that don't have the audio pathway. HDMI carrying Audio is a slightly newer piece of technology. And also, the device you take the Audio from also has to support passing it over HDMI as well. Older DVD players that can't take firmware updates may not account for this. The PS3 in its infancy didn't do this in the beginning for instance, and I had the audio through an extra optical cable. They updated the firmware to fit the new standard so one nice cable for everything. Hope that helps. Good luck,

I just got my 1005PR today and I've haven't been able to get it to play a dvd with an external player. Also, when I play a movie ITunes, it's choppy. I wonder if there is something wrong with my Broadcom Chip. It's not a good sign if If several people are having the problem.

My sound output started immediately, even though a major Window8 had killed all my previously working sound drivers.My guess is that this driver will control all others that are on the laptop. Which would mean that your other speakers will stop playing when this is installed.
