Have Technics SA-EX500 connected to Samsung Smart TV. For tv channels the sound is perfect but when I switch to Netflix or HBOGO the sound is static/cackling.

Hi,

you can start by looking for a speaker adapter on amazon. To ensure compatibility with your samsung tv, you can provide the specific model number to the seller so that they can check on their end. And you can also call the manufacturer of the product to ask them to verify the compatibility with your tv as well.

Thank you.

Just Follow these steps to activate HBO Go:

1. Download HBO GO from the Smart Hub on your Samsung TV.
2. Open HBO GO on your TV.
3. Choose Sign In or Activate Your Device to get your activation code. Stay on this page until you enter the code on your computer (as per the steps below).
4. On your computer, go to HBOGO.com/activate.
5. Choose Samsung Smart TV and then Continue.
6. Choose your TV provider and then enter the username and password for your TV provider account. If you don't know your username and password, contact your TV provider. If you don't see your TV provider listed, then they don't currently support HBO GO on Samsung TV. For more information, see why doesn't my TV provider offer HBO GO?
7. On the Activate a Device screen, enter the code from your TV (from step 4).
8. You should see a "Success" message on both your TV and computer. Sometimes it can take a few minutes for the activation to complete.

You're ready to start watching HBO GO!

First thing I would check is Internet connection on the smart tv that won't connect. If that doesn't work try downloading new software for Netflix. Try those and see what happens.

You need to update your software (TV/DVR and the netflix app)

When you say you have sound from the BD prior to disc load... where (TV and/or receiver)? Initial wake-up audio is usually 2-channel.

Describe the optical audio connection input to the receiver and any other audio paths that are attached.

Do you have other multichannel sources you could use to test this, like a cable TV box?

There's an obscure setting in the receiver called PCM Fix (on Page 21). Give that a look.

You can order a service manual from the manufacturer.
