You should be able to run an optical audio cable from the Verizon set-top-box to the optical audio in on the surround sound system

Sometimes these buttons only work for certain formats eg. a cd may not play with more than the front 2 speakers.
Also, when you press these buttons are you viewing the home cinema on your tv? It may require you to press the sound/surround button, navigate a menu to select the setting then press OK (this is how my Philips unit works)
Hope this helps.

There is usually an adjustment in the setup meanue for each individual speaker.good luck

hello you can puchase an all in 1 remote control it will have the manual with it plus the codes for your tv ,dvd,surround sound etc hope this helps

Have you referred to the manuals?

It all depends on which way you intend audio to GO.

Consider this: Is the TV really a SOURCE of audio or does the program audio come from elsewhere, like a Cable Box with REAL digital audio capabilities? THAT is where you want the SABT230 to get the TV-related audio, on an optical cable.

Unless your TV has a speaker complement comparable to the SABT230, the TV only NEEDS video and maybe basic audio (from the Cable Box?) for those times you just want to have the TV on for casual watching, like news. AV OUT HDMI can carry video and (unnecessary) high-end audio to the TV from the SABT230, while standard RCA stereo cables can carry the 'normal' audio from the Cable Box to the TV. In any serious viewing you would probbaly mute the TV speakers and use the SABT230 for listening.

Hi,
To get tv program sound in SA-BT230 speakers, please plug Optical Cable between two units. TV has Digital Audio Out port at rear, plug optical cable there and connect it to Digital-1 input at rear of SA-BT230 and select Source as Digital 1 through remote or front button on unit and select Theater in default speaker settings in Settings menu in tv to get tv program sound in SA-BT230 home theater system. Please check below image of tv menu (marked with yellow) about selecting default Speaker settings.
Required Optical Cable would be available in nearest Store or click Amazon.com for online order.
Hope these info will help.
Let me know if you have additional question.
Thanks.

Press the surround button until it says manual, then use the left right arrows to select prologic.

Hi,
Easy setup is an option when unit turns On unit first time out of box. If you want to perform easy setup again then need to perform reset (Restore Default Settings) function to get easy setup menu.
Press Start button on remote and select Other Functions, press OK, then select Setup menu, press OK then select Others option and press OK then select Restore Default Settings and press OK
Now you will get easy setup menu again.
Hope these info will help you.
Thanks.

Possible what you meant was no sound from TV If so the LINE output from the TV must be cross checked to see if there is audio signals. If not the TV preamp output is faulty and must be checked., If there is signal from the TV then the input of the Audio system is faulty , can be the preamp selector input.

in settings there is a voice sink, yours might be turned off

I had the same problem last year. The way I got everything to gel together is with converters without any resolution loss. Here is a link to the site I got my converters from.

Happy New Year!

First thing is to unhook all speakers that are connected to the unit..there may be a bad one and it may be shutting down to protect it. If this dosen't work, then you will probably need to have the unit serviced by qualified service center

YER TAKE A HAMMER TO IT..LOL.............ONLY JOKING.
Right i've never see one of these before until now on google images,but i can set audio equipment up in my sleep & as far as i can see the unit is the master out put device, in other words there is no inputs only video
outputs which means you have to put IT through your tv not the other way round but i could do with
more info:
1.what does your tv have in the way of ports or just tell me the make & model
2.what cables you got i.e HDMI / OPTICAL / SCART / PHONO etc....
3 what other devices you got hooked up i.e DVD PLAYER / SKY or CABLE TV /etc....
i need the makes & models of these.

then i'll plan how to hook it all up & e-mail you the instructions.

sc-bt230 is the name of the whole system, sa-bt230 is the name of the main unit only

Make sure that you are connected to 'outputs' on the TV. Make sure that you set the sound system to the correct input that corresponds with your cable. Run a check on the sound system to make sure that the speakers are working and configured correctly using the test-tone facility.
