No sound audio when using HDMI cable on Samsung DTB-H260F

Your sound bar can be connected to the UA40C500QF. Get an appropriate audio cable based on the sound bar. You'll either need a optical digital audio cable or an analog audio cable with a 3.5 mm plug on at least one side. (If your sound bar has an AUX input, then a 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm M/M audio cable is appropriate. Otherwise, you may need an RCA (M/M) to 3.5 mm audio cable or some sort of RCA to 3.5 mm adapter (F on one side, M on the other).) Connect this cable to the audio out on the TV (headphone or digital audio) and the appropriate audio in on the sound bar.

Set the sound bar source to the chosen input (Aux or Digital In (D.In on some systems). Next, set the TV to use External speakers. This is in the Audio sub-menu. The volume will now be controlled by the sound bar volume control.

You can still use the HDMI cable (HDMI out to any HDMI in on the TV) if you want to use the TV screen when changing the settings on the sound bar. Just change the TV source to that HDMI port with the Source button on the TV remote or on the TV (the left-most button on the front panel). Then change your source back to the video signal for the TV to view items connected to the other HDMI ports. If your sound bar has an HDMI input, you would similarly use set the TV to the sound input to watch that source.

I hope this helps. See the manual for the UA40C500Q for the details on setting the speakers to External speakers. The manual is available on the support page: https://www.samsung.com/au/support/model/UA40C5000QFXXY/ .

Google the model number of the remote for a owner "manual" to obtain a list of possible codes for the set. Most universals have about 50 possible codes built into them and also have a search feature where one can try each and every code to see if one works.

Yes it probably has a bad cap in the power supply. See this link for more info: http://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=7804

Check the power supply for bad capacitors. See this link for more information: http://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=7804

8 11 & 14 are std definition. All digital channels are 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc. You may need to re-align your antenna. Digital is Very Very direct, analog was very scattered. Hope this helps

An HDMI cable carries audio and video. Connect the HDMI cable to the cable box and to the tv. Make sure you then select the HDMI input on your TV. Also, make sure the internal audio is turned on in the Samsung TV settings. If all is setup correctly and you still have no audio try using a different HDMI cable.

I have the following toshiba codes
10154, 11256, 10156, 10093, 11265, 11060, 11356, 11369, 11524, 11635, 11656, 11704, 11918, 11935, 11936, 11045, 12006, 11343, 11325, 11306, 11164, 11156, 10845, 10832, 10822, 10650, 10149, 10036, 10070

I have a sr605 Onkyo receiver and just hooked it up to a new Mitsubishi 73" and I could not get the picture to work, sound did though. Here is the problem the Onkyo is HDMI 1.3 but TV calls for HDMI 1.3a. There is a big difference between the 2 and the Onkyo will not work with TV. The newer model TV'S say in the manual Category 2 V 1.3a. You need to make sure that all your parts are compatable. It makes a big difference.
