No sound form digital out of my Philips 42PF9431d

If you have cable/FiOS TV/SATV,than you will have to connect a digital(fiber optic SPIDF or RCA type) form the set-top box to the suuround-sound system to get TRUE surround sound.I haven't come across a TV with this ouput,but not sure if some do.(If you use RCA analog audio cords from the ouput of theTV itself to an input of the sound system it will work,but it will be a glorified stereo sound,not true surround sound.

i have the same system. all you have to do is when you connect your xbox 360, press the surround button on the remote and then use the arrow buttons to change it to dolby music pro2 or multi channel audio. same goes with any device you connect. hope it helps. In my case the xbox is connected to the Tv via HDMI and bluray player is connected to xbox via compoent cable

hello,
Philips 47PFL7403D have Equalizer: 5-bands
Output power (RMS): 30W
Sound Enhancement: Incredible Surround
Sound System: Dolby Digital (AC-3), BBE.

You can't EVER connect an output to an output and expect good results.

It has both optical and coaxial digital outputs but just a coaxial digital INput.

hi
you didn't mentioned the model number of your surround sound system, for a better solution its important. any why try the following.

if you are connected the analog audio output of your tv to the system using RCA cable, then go to the setup of the surround sound system and change the input assignment setting from digital to analog.
If your connected the digital output of your tv to the digital input of your surround system using optical cable then, goto the setup of your surround system and change the input assignment to digital (optical) input.


if u need any further assistance fell free to contact through fixya

cross check the audio device settings. check the audio level of each channels.
Also try exchanging the speakers whether the speaker itself is damaged.

Hope this helped.

is the surround system connected to the cable box. normally its the aux input. if your using a optical cable it should say digital in. try inputing your surround system to either one. the wires should be output from the source(tv,cable box) to the input of your surround system

Hello,
All you need to do is follow the following directions on your TV and you will be on your way listening to your great Philips TV on your great Sony Surround Sound. You do not need to buy any other cords or anything else. Its just a setting on your TV that needs to be adjusted.
By the way, I have a Sony Home Thearte System DAV-HDX275 and I've had it for almost 8 months and its sounds good with my TV and Movies. The speakers are very cheap and it doesn't give you the sound you expect. So I came accross some Boston Accustics CR65's that are not sold anymore but they did run around $700 a peice. I am upgrading the Reciever very soon to a better qualtiy Reciever. This Surround Sound System is great for a starter Surround Sound System.

1. Press MENU on the remote control and select TV settings >
2. Press up or down to highlight a sound setting and press right to select the setting.
3. Press up or down to adjust the setting, and press OK to confirm the change.
4. Press Menu to exit.

You want to pick Incredible Surround, but if that does not work try them all. The Incredible Surround should do the trick because that switches it from the TV Speakers to the Surround Sound.

Thank you for using Fix Ya!

Don't forget to rate the overall satisfaction of this solution.
Have a Great One!

Hi,
The only way to get the surround sound by your set up box to your system by audio connections ok other than you cannot get from TV surround sound.

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!
