I CANT GET THE TV SOUNDS ON THE PLAYER

It might need cleaning the lens of the player, that sometimes cures it.

you cant you have to use a fiber optic cable from your xbox to the lht854 then just hook the HD cable from the Xbox to the tv i have the same surround sound and had the same problem.

Is the digital TV-related sound actually originating in the unidentified TV or would it be better to get it at, say, the Cable Box, which IS a hi-fi component, whereas TV's are amost always NOT so?

I'm pretty sure the TV manual may explain the use of its optical output.

no just use the hdmi out on your tv

Hi Perez. No, this DVD player does not play all zone, it plays zone 1 only.

most cable companies will provide you a high def. cable box for no additional cost. swap digital for high def box. run dvd into high def cable box and run hdmi output from cable box to lg input. hope this helps

You need to go out and purchace a audio optical cable for your unit, it does not come with it because the device will give you sound with a DVD just not with your TV. the optical cable hooks up to the back of your TV and then to the back of your LG LHT854 player. You might have to adjust some of the options in your sound menu but once you have the cable you will be on your way to surround sound with all of your devices.
