We are trying to hook up our 65" Mitsubishi DLP TV to our JVC surround sound...basically we can get the DVD to work with surround sound but when we have the tv on our sound doesn't come out of our surround sound only on the tv speakers.The connector we need is one end being a Digital Audio(TV) and the other being a Digital Optical Audio Connector(JVC). My question is what is the name of the Connector that we need to purchase so this will work???

For surround sound, you need an A/V receiver with 5.1 or 7.1 surround capability. Depending on what kind of receiver you have, the DVD player, satellite/cable box, etc hooks to the receiver, those signals go out to the TV, and the speakers hook to the receiver. The receiver decodes the signal from the cable/satellite box or DVD player and routes it to the appropriate speakers. If the TV program or DVD isn't HD or coded for surround sound, the best you can expect is 2.1 channel stereo sound. OR, you can hook everything (DVD, satellite/cable box) to the TV and run an optical cable from the Digital Output of the TV to the receiver, which is basically the same thing, just a different way to hook everything up. Hope this helps

Hi,

To what is the JVC player connected to?

Hi I have an RCA Truflat TV and a philips Surround sound dvd all in one system and a jvc dish system. I have had my surround working up until my nephews messed with it and hooked up a wii system to it. Now I get no sound on my surround sound and I have tried rearranging the cables but I can not get any sound from the surround sound and for the life of me I can not rember how I originaly had it set up. can you help?

Is your DVD player hooked up to a surround sound receiver, or directly to your television?

Good Day;

Look in owners manual pages 28-35, pay special attention to page 31 and make sure the antenna is connected to ANT-DTV input. Good Luck, big IRISH.

See below for the correct setup to get the best clarity sound possible.

From Set top box:

1. Audio: optical or digital coax cable output --> jvc system Input
2. Video: hdmi output--> jvc system input

From JVC System:

1. Video: HDMI output---> TV HDMI input

TV:

1. only accepting HDMI input from JVC System.

This will provide you will sound from your jvc system at all times. Your JVC system is made to be used as a hub. So essentially what you are trying to do is connect all components into the JVC system. Then only connect the video portion to your TV. The TV itself should NOT be emitting sound.

Note: You may need to turn off the speakers in the TV setup menu to acheive no sound from the TV. This will make for the ultimate experience.

As a general rule surround sound is only sent on HD signals for the dvd. Otherwise it comes to your home in basic stereo sound. Consult your user manual for ways to turn on simulated surround sound also known as Dolby ProLogic.

Simplest thing would be that your component cables are not HU'd correctly. Having them reversed would do this.

Did you try to connect AUDIO OUT from your TV to AUDIO IN on your package?
