Sharp tv audio problem

If your Sharp LC-45D4CU television is not producing sound when you connect an external speaker or sound bar to the audio out jack, there are a few potential causes and steps you can try to fix the issue:

1. Check the audio out jack: Make sure the audio out jack is clean and not damaged, and that the connection to the external speaker or sound bar is secure.
2. Check the audio settings: Make sure the TV's audio settings are set to output sound through the audio out jack. You can check the settings in the TV's menu or user manual.
3. Check the external speaker or sound bar: Make sure the external speaker or sound bar is turned on and set to the correct input. Also, check the speaker or sound bar's connections and make sure they are secure.
4. Check the cables: Make sure the cables connecting the TV to the external speaker or sound bar are not damaged and are securely connected.

If these steps do not fix the issue, there may be a problem with the TV's audio out jack or the external speaker or sound bar. In this case, it is recommended to contact Sharp customer support or a TV repair technician for further assistance.

There are two way to do this.
1. Connect all your devices individually to the Pioneer receiver. Doing this allows you so have different sound settings for each input. A reason you might want this is that your DVD will need a DTS or Dolby sound setting so that you get the best audio from your DVD, whereas your TV may only be outputting stereo audio. In this case you would set your Pioneer to a stereo setting.
2. Connect your devices to the Sharp display, then connect the audio output of the Sharp to a free audio input on the Pioneer.
Your Sharp LED TV has two ways to do this: a. If you have a digital capable Pioneer sound system, connect using the "Digital Audio Output". You will need a Toslink (Optical) cable for this connection. b. If you only have analog capabilities in your Pioneer sound system, you must use the 3.5mm (1/8 Inch) analog audio output from the Sharp TV to stereo RCA (red and white plugs that are most commonly supplied with home theatre product).

Good job---Thank You for letting us know you got it and thanks for using FIXYA.

You should be able to connect these but you'll need some extra adapters/converters/cables. The Sharp HT-SB400 has analog audio inputs (http://www.sharp.co.uk/cps/rde/xchg/gb/hs.xsl/-/html/product-details.htm?product=HTSB400&cat=10500 ). The Samsung UE40C6000 LED TV has a digital (optical) output and a headphone jack (http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/tv-audio-video/television/led-tv/UE40C6000RKXXU-spec ).

With a RCA (F/F) to 3.5 mm (M) adapter, you may be able to connect the headphone audio out to your sound bar directly. This is an example: http://www.cyberguys.com/product-details/?productid=4730 . I'm not sure if this will automatically disable the TV speakers.

The other option is to get a digital audio to analog audio converter. One of these is http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Audio-Analog-Converter/dp/B0013LWK3A . You'll also need the optical digital cable in addition to the RCA audio cable that you have. With this you'll have to follow the manual for turning on the digital audio output on the TV (under the Sound menu) and turn off the TV speakers.

I hope this helps.

Sharp televisions don't work like you need them to when connecting them to a 5.1 sound system. You can connect them with a fiber optic cable from their digital audio out to the sound system's digital audio in BUT when you turn everything on no sound comes out of the sound system. So you start checking connections and troubleshooting, call Sharp, and maybe even call the sound system manufacturer. You may get a customer service representative knowledgeable enough to explain to you that Sharp televisions were designed without center channel capability. This means that the only use for the digital audio out is to get sound from your sound system when watching tv channels when your Sharp television is connected to your rooftop antenna only or directly to basic digital cable with no cable box or satellite tv receiver. Yes I just stated that you only connect the sound system to the Sharp television when you are watching over the air broadcasts or basic digital cable without a cable box.

People say "but that doesn't make any sense." But it is true. Sometimes you will get lucky and connect a Sharp television to the sound system with the fiber optic cable and get sound out of one of the devices you've connected to the Sharp television with an hdmi cable. You will then be directed by the customer service rep to connect all your devices to the sound system and connect them all to the television as well OR connect all your devices to the sound system with hdmi cables and connect the sound system to the television with one hdmi cable.

Hi, what you have is called hte "default " screen, the audio connection is apperebtly fine since you have sound, so the question is why video stopped. More than likely the video connection came loose somewhere, iI suggest retracing the " video connection " from end to end. If you're using an hdmi cable that has both audio and video cables combined-so it would be the cable or the player or jack on the tv's side that was defectice. if using standard " RCA " cables, those are the colors yellow, for video and red & white for audio. If someone or something become tangled in rca cables this may sometimes stress a connection and give a green screen ( with yellow cable still connected it will feel slightly loose ) I hope this helps ,good luck Prodzilla

You have to go into the audio setup menu and select optical out so the sound will be diverted from the internal speakers to the optical cable.

If you are using an HDMI cable the sound and audio will be in the same connector. If you are not then you must run an audio (stereo both L + R) cable from your satellite receiver to the audio input of your television.

If you are using a S-Video cable it only carries the picture and not sound.
In that case it also requires an audio cable as well as a video cable.

If you have HDMI on the dvr and the tv use this cable connection this will handle audio and the video at it`s best, if you do not have HDMI, use the 3 component video outputs to the tv and a digital audio connection from the dvr to the tv

I got the sound on my LC32D6U fixed for free. Even though the TV is out of warranty, Sharp considers it under warranty for the sound problem. The number i 800-237-4277.
