Philips HTL2101A/F7 Soundbar 40 Watts Logo
Janie Dickson Posted on Jan 07, 2015

I have a Philips soundbar that I have hooked up to my flat screen tv using audio (red,white) cables directly from soundbar to tv and there is no sound coming out.

Ive hooked it from soundbar to satellite and from soundbar to tv, nothing works. I hooked an ipod to it and that works just the tv sound won't.

Be sure you are hooking up the Audio Output from the TV or satellite to the soundbar.

From the satellite box both Audio Output and Video Output go to the TV, and then Audio Output from the TV goes to the soundbar.
Or
From the satellite box Video Output goes to the TV and Audio Output goes to the soundbar.

SOURCE: How to hook up a dvd recorder with HTS6500/37?

Suddenly had this problem. My Phillips is hooked up to TV and to Cable Box. When I inserted a DVD it would return a "no disc" but it would read and play CDs. After a call to Phillips...who said that they had no idea what was going on and I should take it in for service...it was 4 months out of warranty. Repair company said it was not worth the repair costs ($200) so I should try cleaning the lens with a lens cleaning disc. I bought a Maxell. It has a set of little brushes on the bottom of the disc. I inserted it and played track 2 for 20 seconds as instructed and voila! It began reading the DVDs again. I was only out the $10 for the disc cleaner. If you have this problem, try the disc cleaner first as it might be the fix.

SOURCE: MX 3950D Philips - PS3 no sound

Aside from the xbox360 working via the coaxial digital cable. I got the PS3 to work this way.

I had to use the supplied SCART > (Y-video) (Red-Audio) (White-Audio) cable. Basically plugged this in from the PS3 directly to the MX 3950D Aux (Auxiliary) audio input.

On the PS3 audio settings menu, switched from HDMI to the 3rd option SCART.

Turn on the MX 3950D and set to Aux. Bang, got sound again.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I missed this cause I "assumed" the video/audio cable that came with the PS3 was a HDMI to Audio/Video cable, and didn't even see the SCART port in the back of the PS3. So I thought I didn't want to lose 1080p ..etc etc. Anyways. MX 3950D still good =)

SOURCE: philips HTS8100 owner. Have

Same problem with my HTS8100. Little-to-no sound. Sometimes sound comes on very intermittently. I downloaded the software patch from the Philips website and installed it. This fixed the sound problem for about a week, then the problem came back. I'm not sure what else to do.

I bought a wireless soundbar to hook up to my Smart flat screen tv, and the manual does not state anything on how to really do it...too simplistic and not enough info for one.

Find the Audio Out connections on your TV and run the dual RCA cable (Red/White) to the Input RCA jacks on the back of the sound bar unit. You may have to go into your Audio or Sound menu on the TV and turn off the TV's speakers in order for the Audio out on the RCA output to turn on.

I have a proscan with no sound so I brought a

You hooked up the sound bar to the cable box red & white sockets, right. Now you have the soundbar hooked up to the TV red and white sockets. Did you notice any difference with the labeling on the two sets of sockets? The cable box sockets were labeled "Audio Out", but the TV sockets are labeled "Audio In"

AV signals are directional. Any socket labeled "Out" will give a signal from it for connecting to another device e.g. the connection from the cable box to the soundbar.

Any socket labeled "In" is designed to accept a signal from something else, but it won't give a signal out. So you can't connect the TV's Audio In socket to the soundbar's Audio In socket because both expect a signal from something else and neither supply a signal out.

Check the back of the Proscan TV. Is there a socket labeled Audio Out? If so, use that.

We have a new Philips 32" LCD TV, 3500 series/32PFL3505D. We are having problems as we try to connect it to our existing Direct TV receiver. Do we need to call for Direct TV assistance, or can you...

Looks fairly straightforward.

Depending on the output of your DirectTV receiver, you are either going to use an HDMI cable.tomcattech17_0.jpg

A component cable: (Red\Green\Blue for video... White\Red for audio)
tomcattech17_1.jpg

Or a composite cable: (Yellow for video.. White\Red for audio)
tomcattech17_2.jpg

Hook one side of the cables to the Direct TV receiver and the other into the correct inputs on the back of the TV.

Page 9 and page 25 in the attached manual:

I don't get sound from Vizio Sound Bar, need connection instructions.

You have a red and white composite audio cable the simplest way is to hook that to your audio output on your tv then obviously the other end goes into the soundbar. Make sure its an OUTPUT not input on the tv, if you hook it up this way everything that plays on your tv will then play through the soundbar.Some tv's do not have an audio output if this is the case then you will have to hook it up to an output of another source such as DVD player or cable box. There are two other possible audio outs on your tv they are fiber optic audio and digital coaxil audio but usually not the case as they are usually only inputs. One other thing some tv's(very rare) require you to go to menu to enable audio out. There is one other possibity and that is HDMI which carries picture and sound but again TV's rarely have this output.
