I bought the Dav-x1 system off Ebay. It said it didn't come with cables, but I figured it would be like most systems and I could just use my own RCA cables or speaker wire. Well, it looks like I need a special cable. And if I did the research right, that cable is over $93 and I about dropped dead when I saw that. Is there a way I can make my own cable? I'm not too concerned about the quality of this player. It's sitting in my workout room and it's not for my main room. Is there schematics available so I know where the wires should connect so I can just use my own stuff?
I'm not sure. I guess I'm looking for a repair book or something that tells me that. What link do you want? I don't have any links. This site has the userguide. The part number if I want to purchase it is 183043411. But, I don't want to spend $93 on a cable.I'm not sure. I guess I'm looking for a repair book or something that tells me that.

The system uses a proprietry Speaker cord that connects at the reciever in one connector and runs 3 plugs to the speakers. One to a 2 speaker Subwoofer (4 wire) and 2 plugs to left and right. I bought the Sub thinking I could use it elsewhere. Any ideas on how to wire to RCA style jack? Sub has 4 flat vertical pins in a row.The system uses a proprietry Speaker cord that connects at the reciever in one connector and runs 3 plugs to the speakers.

Hey Jhayden, did you ever get the DAV-X1 cable pinout? I have the 15 pin male RS232 connector... just need a schematic to know which number pins are + - L + - R ... center ... sub ... etc. Did you ever get the schematic? I too bought mine off of eBay and did not come with any cables. So it powers on and probably works... just cannot get the speakers connected.Hey Jhayden, did you ever get the DAV-X1 cable pinout?

Most likely some one hit the wrong button on the remote. Make sure you have the proper device selected and the tv is setup for the proper device input. It is hard to tell you what is exactly wrong due that I do not know the full extend of your system.
The sub was part of a Sony DAV-X1. This whole system is highly proprietary in its connections for a reason. For all anyone knows, the original amp's output was frequency-shaped to correct for speaker response issues, like Bose would do. Substituting a different amp may be electrically unwise and audibly unsatisfying. It is certain that the DAV base unit did all the electronic magic to create a surround effect from only 2 speakers and a sub.
Your best bet to put these speakers to use would be to examine the sub and speakers for two conductors each that would be for the amplifier's audio output. Measured across them wit han ohmmeter it would read somether around 6 ohms.
Then somehow craft a physical connector to carry an amp's speaker output to it and carefully test it with very low volume.
What are you doing? Note the following: The only cable you should connect to your TV from your X1 are the video cables Logic is you want to use the system for sound and your TV for video only
If you have an LCD TV use the HDMI connection for video from your DVDs
If not the best video is using the component video (red green blue) i.e connect this to your X1 and your TV input
If your TV does not have this just use the video out composite (yellow). On the X1 it is indicated as Monitor
The reason why you do not have any audio from the TV is because you have not connected Audio Out from your TV to your X1. Do the following:
Identify if your TV has stereo audio out i.e A/V out should have red and white jacks
If this is the case connect this to your input on your X1 corresponding to TV
If your TV only has one Audio Out jack you need an RCU cable that has one to two pins and you would connect the single pin to your Audio out on the TV and the two (red/white) to your X1)
To listen to audio from TV simply set the input or source setting on your X1 to TV
As long as the cables are properly connected you shouldn't lose quality in the sound. If its the front speaker cables you want to extend then contact sony and ask them for the rear cables which you can then substitue for the front ones which are considerably shorter.
It won't work as the DAv can only output to HDMI by bringing singal into the HDMI input.
why wouldn't you send it directly to the TV and Audio to the DAV? I sounds like you don't have an HD box anyway (otherwise why would you use an analogue S-video cable vs component or HDMI). Unless there is a distance issue then go to the TV.
