Aux speakers hi. i just bought a cheapo set of logitec 5.1 speakers and i'm wondering if it is possible to control the volume of the signal going to the speakers with the tv. they are meant for a computer setup but sound fine with the tv other then the only way to adjust the volume is having to get up and manually adjust it. thanks. greg.

People, people, people. Okay there are many thousands of devices out there and they are all different. I need to know what brand and model stereo your talking about. Typically though the AUX on most stereo's is on the front face plate of the unit (some are on the back side of the unit though) consists of a 3.5mm (walkman style headphone type jack where you can plug your input device into your car stereo via a Male to Male 3.5mm stereo headphone cable. (avail at walmart, etc) Once you've done that you cue up your device and start playing it at half volume. Dont turn volume all the way up use stereo volume to dial it up. Dont want volume to max going into your stereo plus your stereos amp. It's possible distortion overload city there. Then on the stereo itself there should be a button for inputs you push that button until you select AUX and walla. Also some stereos in there settings they have a special selection for gain control for AUX which allows you to find that happy medium for the stereo to boost the music from AUX properly. Ideally it would be a line out (not volume controlled just a straight signal) but most devices only have headphone out which incorporates it's own little amplifier in there and too much volume aka signal current going into the amp is not good for it.

This is not a camera, it is an integrated 'hi-fi' system - try posting this query in a forum dealing with music centres

The volume keys should be working by default, but you may have volume punch through turned on (meaning the remote is sending signals for TV or CABLE volume function no matter what mode you are actually on). To unlock volume control for AUX mode, do the following:
1. Press and release AUX
2. Press and hold SETUP until the remote blinks twice
3. Type 993
4. Press and release VOL-
The remote should blink four times to confirm unlock.

If you have the money, the 540 will give you the best bang, and if you want to spend less, go for the Creative.
All 3 sets perform with about the same quality, so it comes down to room size, and how much volume you want to extract from it. Quality of sound will be more dependent on the sound card than on the speakers.

There is a volume control where you select the source of the control room signals. There is NOT a slider type fader. The same pot that controls the phones varies the control room speakers.

You could also use one of the AUX to drive your control room speakers, however they are usually used to drive the stage monitors.

The Remote w/ On Demand buttons, it's the same as the DVD player code 1932. Hit the AUX button, press and hold SETUP until AUX blinks and enter 1932. Press the power button and it should turn off the reciever.

*UNLOCKING VOLUME CONTROL* You must until your AUX volume control in order to use your Comcast remote. To do so, you must select AUX, press and hold SETUP until AUX blinks. Enter 9-9-3 and press Vol - (down). This should unlock your volume control when you select AUX. I'm not sure how to set AUX as your default setting for volume, unless you were to program your AUX device as your TV and vice versa I'd suspect.
Hope this helps!

Helle there!

First!
1) check your setting for sound to (2 way speakers)
2) Setting for Volume in control panel.
3) connector may be you need a little expantion from radio shack gold ext.
4) be sure you got sound from headphones !! **
Go it!

Hi Gargoyle005,

Most Aux jacks have a base level, other then adjusting the level on the trainer your would have to control the volume with the standard volume controls.

Cordially

Is your subwoofer amplified or passive?

You clearly understand that you need to use a variable line out to control the subwoofer volume via the TV. As the setup seems reasonable, I'm wondering if the subwoofer is getting a signal, but that it is at line-level and not internally amplified by the subwoofer speaker. Generally, if the subwoofer must be plugged into an AC socket in the wall, it has an internal amplifier and can be fed line-level audio. If it is "passive", it has no amplifier, and it must receive an amplified signal (over speaker wire) from an amplifier (or integrated receiver). TV's don't generally have connections to send out an amplified signal.

If the subwoofer is indeed amplified, then this is obviously not the problem, but it's the first thing to verify given the information provided.

I'm sure you went to Control Panel, opened device manager, and and checkeck for any yellow checks for your
sound, video and game controllers. If there are none, your system is go. Then go to your audio manager on control panel, and set it up for whatever speaker configuration you have. I have realtec audio manager. This step is a must for configuring—you choose whether your laptop will use its own speaks or use your external speakers—you have to turn off the internal speakers and turn on the external. Did you forget?
