Hi can anyone tell me when i connect my LG 5.1 surround sys to my SAMSUNG LE40R73BDX Via HDMI it will only play in 1080i and when i go into the menu click on 1080p it resorts back to 1080i does my TV support 1080p.

If your Playstation is putting out the signal in 1080p then try changing it to 1080i and see if that works. Not all TVs are compatible with 1080p.

you have to have a connect going back into the player, the hdmi is only one way there should be and analog the red and white
or
an digital optical out from the tv

yes you need to connect audio out from the tv to audio in on the dvd surround. you need the red/white phono to phono leads, simply connect together and select audio (av,au) on the input selection.

I have had this same issue.

Problem your tv isnt true 1080p meaning it will not work however when you switch to componet cables goto menu then change the display settings to 720p or 1080i then your HDMI connection should work fine.

did you reset the setting in your xmb on your ps3 from hdmi to a/v cables?

Hi elcrozier.Try changing the resolution from 1080p to 1080i in the system setting on the ht503ph. I had the same problem and that fixed it. good luck

Well the problem is that the PS3 only allows output on one channel. So, this is only going to be optical out, or hdmi, or even AV. You only get one option for the output.

Now, if your TV has the capability.. Run the sound through the HDMI to the TV and then let the TV output the digital sound to the surround system. This will give you the option of turning off the surround and re-enabling the TV's stereo speakers.

I hope this gives you an idea of what the problem is. If I were you, I'd just do as I said. This is exactly how I have mine setup. I have a 600w sub on the surround, so late night movies can't be played on it without the neighbors being woke up. So, I simply disable the TV's output and use it's speakers. :)

i have a plasma samsung 42 inch and i dont know how to connect my jacks red,white, yellow from the dvd to the plasma and what channel should the plasma be on to see the dvd ???? thanks anthony

The HDMI cable connection on your system is a video out to your TV.
To get audio from the TV so you can hear it through the system, you need to add a cable from the audio out of your TV to the "aux" input on the panasonic system.
This is most likely a red and white connection which will give you stereo, or pro-logic surround from the home theater system.

Connect the PS3 to your TV with the hdmi cable and to the surround sound system with a digital optical cable, then set your PS3 to output sound through the optical port (through the sound options menu) and you're good to go!
