Awa model HT-520A manual and cords and cables for installing it is a 5.1 sorround sound system

It sounds like you have an issue with the Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) function. When the home theater system is connected to a compatible TV by an HDMI cable, you can sync the operations when this is enabled on both the TV and the home theater system.

You need to be turn the feature off on one or both devices. If you have another HDMI port on the TV, you could move the HDMI cable to that port. (Most TVs only have one HDMI-CEC enabled port.) Note: this turns off the audio return channel option. If you only have the HDMI cable connected between the TV and the HT-EM53C, you will need to connect another cable. Depending on the TV, this could be an optical audio cable, analog RCA audio cable or headphone (3.5mm) to RCA audio cable.

The manual for the Samsung HT-EM53C is available at ManualsLib here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/355628/Samsung-Ht-Em53c.html .

A summary of the Anynet+ feature is here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/355628/Samsung-Ht-Em53c.html?page=29#manual . Accessing and navigating the Settings menu is discussed here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/355628/Samsung-Ht-Em53c.html?page=25#manual . Press the Home button on the remote and go to the icon with the gear.

I hope this helps.

The way mine is hooked up is like this: Ps3, DirecTV box all plugged to my samsung TV and then only thing I have plugged into the Ht box is the hdmi out to TV and an Optical Cable from Tv to HT box. All audio is going to Tv then to HT box and plays all through hometheater box when it is on. Try the optical cable

Check speaker wireing make sure all positive and negative connections are correct. What cable are you running from tv or DVD player.check to see that wireing is correct on receiver for sorround speakers. Run audysee sound calibrator set up. Make sure correct settings for sorround sound in bluray player/DVD player

Go to http://www.retrevo.com and register. Search for Lenoxx HT-3917. It is there. Or send me your email and i can send it.

It is likely that you do not have an HDMI cable connecting your cable/satelite set top box to the reciever. If you you run coxial striaght to your TV you will need a digital tuner and run the audio componet cable to the receiver and picture cable to the TV. Also be sure that TV out is perferably with optical audio. Hope this helps. If not its all listed simply in the owners manual. Try Sony's website if you lost it.

Hi Map33_bm
It appears that your TV set is 2 channel stereo, so as there is no surround signal coded into the TV audio channels, thesurround sound does not process it.
I've posted a PDF in 'manuals' which you can check out.
Did this info help at all?

this is something a tech expert on electronics can handle. even replacing parts has to be attended by a pro-technician. something is wrong with your DSP processor or system components. it could be the switch only or it could be the processor.

The cable box had red and white audio output jacks - run a red/white cable (or red and white portion of a red, white, and yellow cable) to the audio in/tv port of the magnavox

Check the setup menu on your TV. Many models require that you choose between using the internal speakers and using the speaker outputs. Sometimes the TV menu choices are "FIXED" (audio output) or "VARIABLE" (internal speakers).
