How to get system to play the sound from regular television.

Well that settles the problem then.

Check the sound system settings to your Westinghouse TV.

No sound when play a DVD but ok on regular tv?

hi,
select tv input on ur theater system. u can hear audio fro the frond left and right speakers. if u want to hear the audio from the surround speakers, then press the A-MODE button on ur remote to select different type of sound modes. press again and again to select different sound field. select one which suits u.
ok

This is a typical problem with TV broadcast UNLESS you use a matrix DSP surround sound mode, most DVD audio is either Dolby digital 5.1 surround or DTS multi-channel surround sound, unless you are viewing a HDTV broadcast with 5.1 Digital sound connected from the TV to the receiver then you are probably receiving a 2 channel Stereo sound format, I would suggest that you try to set your TV input mode to a audio Dolby Pro- Logic which will yield 5.1 and should engage all speakers.

replace the vertical output IC that should take care of it.

I just bought the Panasonic viera cast surround sound system and I can't get the speakers to work when watching regular tv.

Have you checked all the channels connected correctly refer to the user manual once.

you will probably have to select you wii int an input on the reciver.sometime the reciver will use an aux secection

surround speakers will only function when the video that is being played is encoded with surround sound. like 5.1. otherwise it will only play in regular stereo mode.
