Hello and thank you in advance for helping me resolve this.... i have a insignia 52 flat screen tv.... i just installed a samsung ht z310 home theater... i tried everything and i cant seem to get the sound from the tv to be recognized by the theater surround sound speakers... only television channels ... when i put dvd in or listen to radio.. sound system fine... but how about regular tv sounds? please help me...

If I remeber correctly, the Samsung HT-Z310 is a dvd system.....not blu-ray. Won't play blu-rays - never has, never will.

According to the manual I see the HT-Z310 doesn't support bluetooth connection to external devices.

What am I missing here?

There are a lot of models mentioned in this post. What are WE discussing?

* A Samsung HT-Z310 is a Home Theater System.

* An Onkyo TX-DS777 is higher-end AV Receiver that DOES have a Video 3 input which accepts composite video and analog audio.

* An Onkyo CD player is irrelevant to the TV sound in any scenario.

* Unnamed TV.

I don't see any path in your narrative that would carry audio TO the TV. Is there an unmentioned HDMI cable in here somewhere? I see no other audio outputs on the HTZ.

Are you running the HT-Z310 through an Onkyo receiver to somewhere (?) else?

The fewer hops and inteconnects a given signal experiences between its source and your senses, the better. I always run the BEST video from any source to the TV first; the best Audio to the BEST audio electronics. If that helps.

Open the system and replace the brown fuse with the number 382 on it. It's right where the cable plugs into the power board.

Optical into your XBOX 360? If there is a connector that you are using to convert it, I was start by replacing that.

Many remote control codes can be found at InsigniaProducts.com. Search for your Insignia product model number and click on the Support tab.

make shure that you have selected hdmi on the sound system press the function button

You have to press the AUX button and set the HTS unit to D. IN (DIGITAL IN)
AUX 2 only works for the regular red & white audio cables.


Hope this helps!

From what i learnt you learnt to connect tv to system with hdmi and a  optical lead..

Do you have an Optical Audio cable going from the A/V receiver to the TV? If not, you need to get one. Since the HT-Z310 only has HDMI output and no input there is not audio bypass. Once you connect an Optical Audio cable from the receiver to the TV, anything that goes through the TV (cable audio, PS3 or Xbox 360, DVDs, Radio) will go through the receiver, too.
