Hi,I can play a DVD disc on the system and get sound from the surround sound speakers but I can't get a picture on the tv,Sony Trinitron.The connetions are from the DAV S500:(DVD only)red and white cable plus (from the same scart) green and black to audio out. Whats wrong?

How have.you connected the TV to the surround unit ?

If your DVD disc supports it, you will have to enable surround sound from the DVD, as well as the speakers.

Not really enough info here to help much yet.

Helpful info would be:

1.Are you hooking up coax or optical surround from the DVD and have you set the amp to look at the correct type of input?
2. I could be much more specific with help if knew the model number of the surround system and DVD changer.

Many times the jack which was plugged in to connect your surround sound system, automatically breaks the continuity of its own speaker system & if its not disturbed for a long time, jams the return spring which comes into play once the jack is removed. This restores the circuit for its own speakers. Try smearing the old jack with spirit or alcohol & keep reinserting the jack so as to remove the jam. Hopefully the trick works otherwise the set will have to be opened and the socket replaced or rectified......................sodeep

Check first your dvd player settings if it is in PAL or NTSC.

Please check at rear of TV for Digital Optical IN port as home theater should have optical out port at rear. If you got any optical in port in TV, just connect optical wire between TV and home theater.

2nd option is check Line Out pins at rear of home theater system, if found, hook red-white RCA cable there and put it to same input in TV where you hooked Video (composite or component) cable.

Let me know the results to help you more.

dear,
there must be some options either in tv mod or in dvd, is not properly selected..
check both manual in details...

It looks like all you'll need to do is hook up audio out from DirecTV to audio in on the surround sound system. Sony has an interesting hookup recommendation guide on the product support site:

That should give you the connection options. The short answer, though, is to connect the best audio out from DirecTV to an audio in on the surround sound and then choose that option in the surround sound system when you want to watch TV.

go to tv menu> sound settings> enable surround.

audio/video OUT from the cable box to the aux IN on the panasonic right? So you can see the output from the cable box but only sound from dvd. Are you changing the input on the tv when you go from watching the cable box to watching the DVD? the panasonic handles audio, but the video from each goes to two different inputs on the sony. I hope none of this sounds condescending.
