I want surround sound. How do I hook up my audio 5.1 RVC-884VBK, with my HDbox and LCD TV? It's too confusing. What hooks to what? Currently the HD box and blueray DVD is hooked straight to TV with HDMI cables. But just using TV sound. I want to use surround sound speakers. Thanks so much for your advise. Marty

You have to hook from the cable/dish box straight to the audio on the TV. That will get you audio out of the tv.

Just to mention that if you have Directv or Dish hooked to the TV, you may need to unplug the satelite receiver for a minute and plug back up. I have seen this happen so many times and people think their TV is at fault. And of course is the possibility of the speakers being cut off in the Sound menu which it looks like you have checked. Lastly, the problem would be in the audio board which Ebay has currently for $18 and shipping $5. Put the model number in the search field at Ebay and scroll down to the audio board.

If there is it would be the "rca" cable that has a red and a white marking, and it would say "out" on it or "audio out" Some TV do not have an audio output so you maybe right.

Do you have a cable box or satellite box? If you do, try hooking up your TV sound through the box. Look for audio out in the back of box (white/red RCA Jacks). Hook RCA cable from cable box to surround amp. Even if the audio out jacks are being used already, you can use Y connectors to hook up the surround amp to the box.
Hope this works for you!

you have to go to the setup for the TV audio and change it to audio out, not speakers.

Ok,you basically sent the audio OUT of TV and INTo your iputs on back of your Amp,you should be able to DL a manual on your unit,if you post more info ,I will try and help you

I recently purchased a vizio 37" LCD tv, I have tried everything in hooking up my Sony DVD surround system to the TV. However, I found no audio output on this TV. Could you tell me if there is a way to hook the tv directly up to the surround without an output?
Is there something else I need to buy?

Good day.
You are possibly right. Audio circuit might got affected. I would like to suggest likewise that you check also if the speaker is busted, the audio IC and if it receives supply from the flyback.

In short, the answer is: Hook up all three to each other. I have a Samsung DLP HDTV, and I was trying to hook up a Sony DAV-HDX500 home-theater system and a Comcast HD set-top box, but I found that the Sony user guide is helpful only for setting up the speakers. Most of what it had to say about HDMI and getting the TV sound or cable sound to go through the speaker system was wrong (or, at least, it didn't work for me). So, here's what I did. I connected Component video cables (Y/Pb/Pr out) from the Cable box to the TV (Y/Pb/Pr in), audio cables from the Cable box (audio out) to the Sony system ("SAT/Cable" audio in), and an HDMI cable from the Sony system (HDMI out) to the TV (HDMI in). This allows me to 1) watch DVDs with surround sound through the TV's HDMI source (when the "DVD" format is selected on the Sony system), 2) watch cable with surround sound through the TV's Component source (when the "SAT/Cable" format is selected on the Sony system), and 3) watch cable WITHOUT the surround sound, as I did before I ever had the Sony system. One item of note: When watching a non-HD channel with the surrond sound on, the audio is slightly out of synch with the video; thankfully, there's no such problem on HD channels. Anyway, I hope this helps. It drove me crazy for two days straight!

It depends on what you currently have as equipment.

You'll have to have something that outputs in digital audio (coaxial or optical). Either your reciever (Cable/Satellite) or the TV. You'll just hook that up to the Surround Sound unit and then just turn on the Surround System when you want surround sound.

You'll have to connect the TV as you would normally with audio cables sicne you'll want stereo sound on the regualr channels.
