How to hook up satellite receiver, Panasonic surround sound to a samsung lcd tv?
So the surround sounds works when we are playing dvds but it won’t work when we are watching our satellite tv. I don’t know the right terms for the cables or anything so if you could dumb down the cords to like colour of cords! That would be great! Or if someone has a diagram that would be helpful that would be great too! None of the instructions in the manuals are helpful!!!
you need to go from the audio right(red) and left(white) OUTPUT from the back of your DVD Player to an available set of audio right & left INPUTS on the back of your home theater receiver. the yellow jack (video) goes from the TV box to one of yellow inputs on the back of your TV. than use the remote to select/change the input on your receiver to the find the input you are currently utilizing. and you will get the audio out of your speakers. don’t be worried if it only comes out of two speakers. the TV signal might only be in stereo, not surround sound like DVDs.
You need to connect digital audio from the satellite receiver to the surround system, if it has an input for digital audio, or analog stereo audio if it has only analog inputs.
For digital audio, you probably have coaxial, which will be an orange or black RCA plug, or optical, which will have a little square hole with a flap or a plug.
You can use an RCA composite video cable for coaxial (it will be a thicker than audio cables and have a yellow plug), or get special coaxial audio cables (which will be the same cable as the video cable, but with an orange plug instead of yellow). For optical, you need one called a Toslink cable. They are easy to spot because.they have no metal pieces.
