How do I connect my surround sound receiver to my 42'' Vizio TV

I have a 42'' Vizio plasma TV and I want to connect my Aiwa surround sound receiver using the audio video inputs. I have my HD DVR connected via HDMI cable. I can get sound coming from only to speakers on my receiver. To me it looks like their are not enough inputs to connect the receiver. I could be putting the cables in the wrong place, could someone provide assistance. Thanks!

SOURCE: Vizio flat screen has very red tint when using HDTV component cables

Sounds like you may have connected the cables incorrectly, or the cable may me bad. The cable company likely provided you with component video cables, which are red green and blue. Ensure that these are connected to the correct plugs on both ends of the cables.

If that does not fix the issue, I would ask for a replacement cable or box.

You may also be interested in buying an HDMI cable if your box supports it.

SOURCE: Close captioning on HDMI

The TV will not display closed caption with HDMI input. It must either over-the-air (antenna) or composite input for the TV to manage CC.

To get CC with HDMI from your Comcast DVR, you need to configure the cable box. Instructions can be found here:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/How_to_use_a_Motorola_DVR/Setup

If you want CC all of the time, this works well. But since you must power-off the cable box to change the setting, switching CC on and off is a real pain.

Your set-up is similar to mine (Sharp Aquos 46" and Comcast DVR). I have the composite output from the cable box going to a DVD-recorder and on to the TV. Whenever I need CC (usually to catch some mumbled dialog), I just rewind the DVR, and switch the TV input to the composite input. Then I switch back to HDMI to continue watching in HD.

Hello

Before taking this to a local repair person, I suggest you check with your cable provider. See if they are having trouble with their HD transmission and then have them test your lines. Out here in Arizona with have constant problems with HD due to heat, rodents and poor installations. Your DVR only recorded the problems that were on your set. If these prove fruitless then take the TV to a reputable repair person.

Good Luck

SOURCE: VIZIO 42 in plasma tv has sound no picture it

If you remove the back and look at the power supply you will find a couple of electrolytic caps, that are bulged and need to be replace, and that will take care of your problem.. Also you can purchase a new power supply and just change it out.

What amplifier do i need to connect 4 speakers to my vizio P50HDTV10A TV

Check the back of your set there are 2 Audio RCA Jacks, You can't do it with an amplifier alone because that won't split the channels to 4. You have to go to a surround sound receiver.

I have this receiver hooked up to a Vizio LED tv and a Vizio Blue Ray using HDMI cables. The surround sound works from the speakers while watching a dvd (HDMI -1 connection) but I have no surround sound...

AV cables don't pass surround sound through, they are pretty much just left and right stereo. You need to turn pro logic on on the reciever to "pretend" to play surround. The better option of course would be to use a digital signal like another HDMI cable or digital optical audio from the cable box, if thats what your using.

I have a LG plasma, do i need a optical digital audio out cord to use surround sound?

In order to get true 5.1 surround sound you need to use either digital optical (fiber optic) cord or digital coax cord(RCA style ends) to link between your TV and your digital source such as DVD,digital cable box,digital satelitte receiver.You can route the audio through the TV but that's not the best way to go,I recommend going directly from the digital source to your surround sound receiver for optimum sound. Good luck !

This unit upconverts all video inputs to component output, so connect all your devices to your denon audio and video inputs and component video out of the denon to the tv component in and all should work fine

Setting up receive set top box and tv for surround sound

Plug the TV to an open channel on your receiver via this output:
*Rear, 1 x Digital audio output (coaxial) ( TOSLINK )
This will look like a single RCA output plug.
Set that input channel on your receiver to some sort of virtual surround mode because it doesn't look like your HDTV has a decoder in it (meaning it will come out stereo and the receiver will have to fake it).
Turn the volume all the way down on the TV and use the receiver to control TV volume just as you do with DVDs.

*Substitute this with the digital audio output on your set top box if you are sending video only to the TV from the set top box (component, DVI or s-video connections). So video goes to the TV, audio to the receiver.
