connect the toshlink from your tv to the Sony receiver. change audio output setting to "external" or "surround" speakers in your setting section of tv menu. it should work fine. good luck!

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.

Try pressing the "A.F.D/2CH" button on the reciever remote. Try making sure the "pure direct" button on the reciever isn't on. If you have an hdmi cable connected to the tv you can access plenty of speaker and sound options if you press the "home" button on the remote. Hope this helps!!

jmaze, would need a bit more info in order to be of help, most likly your tv speakers are not turned off and are fighting with the yamaha. I would suggest that you check all settings on the TV and on the yamaha. if still no luck, try calling cox and/or yamaha, both should walk you through the set up, good luck.dj

I had surround sound and two of the 7 speakers hummed when I put the Direct TV HD in "pause." To fix this problem go to the Direct TV remote, setup, settings, audio, and turn "on" dolby digital. Mine was off and caused the hum!

Yup I HAD that problem as well when I was using RCA inputs but when I changed to Digital Optical, I found that the volume was way too loud and had to turn it down a lot just to fit viewing need.Well, the way I have my setup with the same HTIB(Home Theater in Box) is: PS3>Reciever via Digital Optical for Audio PS3>TV via Component(Plan to upgrade to HDMI once the cable comes) TV>Reciever via RCA(Red and White plugs)For yours specifically Castellanos, I think we need a bit more info on the TV and the Toshiba, like what kind of Inputs and Outputs are on the back of both products or if not that way, give a link to see information on those items.Hopefully we can get this straighten out as with others in the same boat.

OK, this is the same problem I had when I attempted to call for help at JBL and they hung up on me. I am NOT a computer/electronics person and I will give the best answer I can. You need to connect the digital optical cable OUT (on the TV) to the digital cable IN on the back of the speaker. The cable is supplied with the speaker. This worked for me, no thanks to JBL.

You need a digital to analog converter. I use this one - Portta PETDTAP Digital Coax and Optical Toslink to Analog Audio Converter

Two things: 1. Make sure that the TV option for sound is set to the internal speakers, otherwise it will direct the sound signal to the mini-plug sound output jack on the back of the set (this is used to send the signal to another amplifier to drive external speakers). 2. Make sure that any routing of the HDMI signal to and from other devices is arranged properly (i.e. devices->inputs of receiver and Input to TV is from the TV-out hdmi port)

Why don't you try and contact RCA and see if they can offer any help, I hope this is helpful

Make sure your: 1) Cables are plug in and secure from the tv to the receiver. (RCA, HDMI, Coax..etc) 2) You pressed the right command Aux, tv, dvd..etc from the receiver. You might have tried all this but from here its all i can advised you.Me personally have a HDMI and Coax cable hooked from the receiver to my TV and it sound great.

You need to see if your TV has an optical or coaxial (rca) audio out. My son uses these speakers and they sound awesome. If you have this output then you're all set

I had the same issue. It's preset for surround sound. If you change the # of speakers in output you will get sound. It's in the manual. (You can also google the manual)

Have you tried a subwoofer that works? It will not work if the signal being emitted is not decoded to send the signal to the subwoofer, like Dolby surround.

Analog stereo av1-4 should work. Make sure you set av receiver to straight to get playback of source material. Also try pure direct that should give you all speakers but will not show on display

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
