Question about RCA RT2280 System

2 Answers

No Audio from Front Panel S-Video Input

I've had this system since 2002 and it has served me well. My daughter came home from university with a number of full-length movies on her notebook. We thought that if we made a connection between the s-video output on the notebook and the s-video input on the RCA RT2280 we could watch her movies on the big screen also connected to the RCA2280. Seems we were only half right. We get the video AOK but no sound other than that provided by the notebook. The system set-up is very stable for a number of years with Digital Cable TV, DVD and VCR all working just fine. Any help would be appreciated.

    UPDATE JANUARY 7, 2007

    We found a workaround and that was to use a cable from the headphone out jack on the notebook (3.5mm stereo) to the rca inputs on the front of the RCA RT2280 IN ADDITION TO the s-video cable connection.

    I was pretty sure that I read in the RT2280 manual that the s-video cable carried both video & audio but this workaround works just as well.

S video cables do not carry any audio signal at all. You have to do as you did and use another cable to connect the audio seperately.

What code do I need for GE universal remote for Ario tv model 3269?

Universal remotes only cover the most basic functions (on/off, volume, channel) - they do not allow for menus , input selection, etc.

And code data, if available, is gotten on the web site for the universal remote. U can try attached site for remotes that might work for you. MCM Electronics Home and Pro Audio Video Security and Test Equipment

Front Panel Reset & Initialization
Many customer generated symptoms, intermittent symptoms
or symptoms that cannot be duplicated can be resolved
by performing resets or initialization from the front
panel. To avoid making nuisance service calls that may
not be covered under the warranty, ask the customer to
perform the following functions before going to their
home.
The most common are:
• System Reset (Re-boot)
• A/V Reset (Resets Customer Audio/Video
Settings)
• Initialization (Resets all customer options,
settings and menu items)
Use the Front Panel Guide as a reference to quickly
perform the desired function. Note: Button location may
differ by model.

How to get audio video button on rca tv without remote

Hello
If the TV has a "Menu" button at its front panel, you can select its menu, and can select the input selection. If not, you can't do with wthout a remote control. Just buy an RCA universal remote control. If there is no Menu Button at the front panel of the tV, there is no other way to get AV selection to your TV. OK.

Trying to hook up my daughters dvd and tv. I've got one set of cables with yellow red and white connections,where do they go?

Red is for Left Audio Output, to TV Left Audio Input
White is for Right Audio Output, to TV Right Audio Input
Yellow is for Video Output to TV Video Input

You should see the same color coded RCA jacks on the rear of your TV unit. Just match the inputs to the correct device ie: Video 1, Video 2, etc

How do I connect it so that my tv sound comes through the FR 984?

You need to connect the Audio Output from your TV (if it's got one) to the Audio Input on your Home Theatre.

You then need to change the TV settings to select the Audio Output instead of it's speakers and change your Home Theatre settings to select the Audio Input where you've made your connection.

How do i connect a samsung home cinema system HT-TXQ120 to my laptop so that i can play music from my laptop out of my home cinema

Are you trying to hook up audio video or both? for video most likely your laptop uses s-video for that you just have to hook up the cable and set it up in your video settings on the laptop. Also do you have the model number of the laptop? Most likely you will want a 3.5mm to RCA audio cable. Then run that to the same audio input to correspond with the video input. Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Lee

Wiring with a sattelite receiver and new Samsung TV

Nope RamaTheMan - you are incorrect! No way to get an actual surroundsound from your TV on this turd - this came straight from the Samsung FAQ -

"You cannot get surround sound from your television. On the other hand, if your television has audio output jacks you can connect your TV or Set Top Box to your Home Theater System and get stereo sound (that is, sound from the left and right speakers of your Home Theater System only).
To connect your TV or STB audio output jacks to your Home Theater System and get stereo sound, follow these steps:
  1. Turn off your TV and Home Theater System.
  2. Connect the Audio Out jacks on your TV to the External Audio Input jacks on the back of your Home Theater System. The External Audio Input connectors are typically labeled AUX IN. Note: There are usually two pairs of Audio Input jacks, AUX 1 and AUX 2. Each pair has a jack for the left audio input and the right audio input. Often, there are two Video AUX IN jacks as well. You can plug the audio cables into either audio AUX 1 or AUX 2. See the following diagram.
    auxin.jpg
  1. Turn on your TV and Home Theater System.
  2. Press the Function Button on the front panel of your Home Theater System until the display on your Home Theater System shows AUX 1 or AUX 2.
For advanced installation, if you are using a High Def STB, you can connect an OPTICAL connection from the STB to the HTS. This is a specified cable that must be purchased separately.
In either instance, you must then set the HTS to its auxiliary input. (i.e AUX 1, AUX 2, DIGITAL IN) in order to get the sound from the HTS.
Note: If your television does not have Audio Out jacks, you may be able to get stereo sound by attaching the Audio Out jacks on your VCR to either the AUX 1 or AUX 2 audio inputs on your Home Theater System. If you attach your VCR to AUX 1 or AUX 2, you will have to tune your television to channel 3 or 4, and then tune to the station you want to watch on your VCR."
