How to connect an audiovox surround sound system

There is a decoding chip for surround sound. If it goes bad all you get is stereo. Happened to me with my Pioneer receiver.

You need to look at how the TV interfaces with the system. TV's are NOT sound sources, so don't expect surround FROM the TV. Get TV-related audio directly from the source to the Audiovox in a digital format and it may yield surround.

you will need that 5.1 amplifier for that,

check the audio settings make sure they match where you plugged the source. and if all of your sources run into the tv first you will need to have an audio out to the reciver

It all depends on the TV transmission. If it is stereo, you will get the surround sound. If it is not then you have to listen to ordinary sound.

If you have surround speakers with a surround system, then connect the Player to the surround system using for example RCA cables (White and Red).

If you have speakers only, connecting many speakers to a non-surround system won't give you surround.
In surround systems the sound is controlled, elaborated and distributed through the speakers by a circuit.

If you wnt surround sound the alternatives are :

1. Connecting a surround system (eg.Home theater, receiver) to the player (amp+speakers)
2. Upgrading the DVD to one with surround.

Let me know if you need more help.

U can connect it by a Y connector. Its a 3.5mm stereo jack on one end and the other end splits into two RCA sockts. So u can use these RCA sockets to connect to feed the audio output from the TV. thats all.

You need to get an HDMI cable going from your Cable Box to the Surround Sound system. If you are low on HDMI ports, you can RGB cables for Video.

Your quote: " I have a HDMI cable plugged into the TV and the Cable box." move that cable to Surround Sound and Cable Box, and use RGB cable or HDMI to go from Cable box to TV!

If your Surround Sound has no HDMI, use a Fibre Optic to go Cable to Surround. It will work Great!

Good Luck!

you cannot get your tv to play surround sound through the speakers, but if your tv has either a scart 21 pin socket or an audio out, you can fit a scart to phono adapter and connect the phono plugs to the audio left right input on your sound system, likewise if you have audio left and right output(phono) on the tv, connect to audio in on your unit. You should have a choice of output channels on the system menu, similiar to DVD/video1/video2 or output 1 and 2 or auxilliary 1 and 2
