Sony KF50we60 hdmi-dvi sound cuts when plugging into a ht-sf2300

Good Day

I have a Sony Wega model: kf50we620 a home theater sony HT-SF2300 and a sony blueray BDP-S350.

I connected the blueray to the home theater through hdmi, then I connected from the home theater to the sony tv hdmi one end and a converter that converts to DVI. I change the video input to 7 and the video works but there is no sound coming out of the home theater. If I disconnect the cable from the HDMI-DVI converter the sound works and of course the video doesn't but as soon I connect the HDMI cable back into the DVI connector the video comes on and the sound stops. It works if I use s-video from the blueray and use rca cables for the sound and plugging it straight into the tv so not using the home theater. Whenever I use the HDM-DVI converter the sound stops, it looks like the home theater is transferring the audio through the HDMI cable thats going to the TV instead of trasferring to the speakers that connected to it I tried all setting and no go unless there is a setting in the tv that I missed.

    I have the exact same problem. I connect an hdmi cable from my sony blu-ray BDPS-350 to my sony receiver STRDG-920, then from the receiver I have an hdmi cable that goes to a dvi (hdcp compatible) input on my sony 42" WEGA LCD. As soon as the hdmi->dvi cable is connected to the tv the sound cuts out, but video is there. Remove the cable from the tv and the sound is back through the speakers. I've tried different hdmi->dvi converter cables with no luck. I know I can hook up component to the tv from the receiver, but I would prefer hdmi.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    I have the same set up and same problem.
    I re-connected everything through component cable (video 5) connection to the TV, but probably losing something in the sound quality.

DVI = HDMI without the audio connectors. So basically you need to connect your audio in some different way, PS3s allow you to keep your video signal as HDMI and change the Audio signal to component, so that is one way or doing it, not sure if the blue ray players allow you to do this though.

I just got a sony muteki htddw7600 does it matter if i plug a 5.1ch dvdplayer into it or will it sound like **** ?
Sound 'quality' is in the ear of the beholder. It accepts coaxial digital audio and HDMI connections.

My SONY Home Theater Model HT-6600DP unit was working fine and then about tow years after...present, my sub woofer is sounding distorted. Why is this happening? Please help me as I often watch my home...
Is it so even at lower volumes?

Are you sure it's the sub distorting and not the front or center speakers?

If you designate them incorrectly as Large (which tells the receiver they CAN effectively produce bass frequencies) they will probably distort in the presence of low frequencies.

Try this:

Purchase a 3.5 mm jack (it will have a smaller connnector going into the TV and Red and White connectors on the other end).

Pull all the other cables running into the Blu Ray player out so that you are only left with the HDMI Cable coming from HDMI Out (DVD) to HDMI/DVI In (TV), along with the 3.5 jack.

You will be able to play the TV sound through the system.

Is your sony receiver HDMI pass through? some receivers dont allow audio just video through HDMI. Connect a digital coaxial cable from the dvd to the receiver and you should get true dolby surround.

Macbook Pro DVI---> HDMI + Digital Optical Out = Problem w/ Sound
On the Sony The HDMI takes "priority" over all others, that's why you loose audio. If you run your DVI/HDMI to the TV and optical to the soundbar that would fix your issue. If your TV does not have Multiple HDMI inputs, you can get a DVI/Component adapter for your MBP then run it to the TV, or, If you have to have HDMI just to have HDMI, you can get a 2:1 HDMI switch and still have optical to your soundbar. Make sense? If youneed more help, just post a comment and I'll help some more.

Wiring problems
Not certain if HDMI can be used in a setup like this. I'd try it from the home theater (HT) to the TV, and other wiring for the other components.

For video:
All of these should have component connections (Y/Pr/Pb). You'll only need the video cables for each device:
  • Video out from cable, HT, and combo player.
  • Video in to TV. Your choice of inputs.
For audio:
Hopefully, the two output devices (the combo player and the cable box) have digital audio (fiber optic, or RCA coaxial). Otherwise, you'll only get stereo sound. VHS is stereo only anyway.
  • Audio out from cable box and combo player.
  • Audio in to HT.
The TV won't have anything to do with audio in this setup. Alternatively, you could try hooking up all inputs to the TV, and connecting audio out from the TV to the HT. Works best if this connection is digital, for surround.
