Phillips 5.1 surround LX83005A switching on and off on and off on and off

Remove the 4 #2 Phillips screws that hold the black plastic surround to the dash. They are located at the 4 corners. Remove the 4 other #2 phillips screws from the surround of the cluster body, unplug the electricals and voila!

The best way is to connect your laptop to a spare HDMI input on your TV first, then use the AUX OUT from your TV to the AUX IN1 of the Phillips Home theatre system using a standard RCA cable.
The only catch with this is that you will have stereo analog audio, NOT digital surround. However, by pressing the "SURROUND" button of your Phillips HTS remote you can switch the audio output to multi-channel surround, stereo or party mode.
What is the model number of the TV you are using?

Sounds like you have it hooked up properly. Be aware that if there is not a digitally encoded signal for surround sound [they don't always do that] you simply won't have surround sound. Usually there is a mode in your receiver/amplifier that will allow you to simulate surround sound. An example of that would be "theater" or "hall" sound. Try it with a DVD known to have surround sound encoding [most of them do] and see if it works that way. If it doesn't then check your owners manual for information about how to make sure that feature is actually turned "on".

Hi dion007 Did you get a solution for your problem as I have the same thing wrong with mine?

You won`t get surround sound mix with 2 speakers, you can have a 2nd zone but this will only play a "Stereo Sound" if you have that playback option with the SC-RT50, what you will need is a speaker selector switch or better known as an A & B switch, this will ideally run from the front left and right speaker output of the receiver into the A & B switch then run into each pair of speakers inside or outside, what is common nowdays are receiver that are known as 2nd zone connections where you can have 2 sets of speaker in different rooms, unfortunatly the SC-PT50 does not have this option.

You did not say if you have connected the video out on the surround system to the video in on the tv. If not connect it and select that input on the tv.

Sounds like it's just in 2 channel stereo mode, only 2 speakers working out of 5 and a sub, look for a selector switch for switching to 5.1 surround, as far as the no video problem try replacing the cable for the video connection. 

This may be old news but just in case ...

Typically you need to consider the surround system as the central point for sound distribution (and in newer receivers, the distribution point for video signal as well). So you need to think of your TV and Satellite as sound sources and connect them to the IN side of your surround sound system. From the back of your TV then, look for the Audio OUT (commonly Red for right and White (or black) for Left. Connect these to the IN on the back of the surround system. Likewise for your satellite box. Then make sure you select the appropriate source on the surround system. If the system supports the video signal, you can route that as well. Beware that you'll need some sort of simulation (provided by the Phillips unit) to upconvert stereo to surround ... check the manual online. If you post model numbers for the Phillips and satellite units, we might be able to direct you more specifically (provided we can find manuals online)
