Connections I am having problems connecting devices. This is my first receiver for a home theatre and I am struggling. I have a Sony 51 wide screen HD projection televison, model kp-51ws500, a toshiba SD-4980su hdmi dvd player, a Sony slv-n51 hi-fi vcr and a pioneer hd cable box provided by time warner. can you help me with the best way to connect. I would like to use the receiver as a monitor and have all video and audio running throught the receiver, except the video for the dvd and hd video for the tv.

You can use the Component Video, composite video or HDMI connections to connect the DVD home theatre system to the TV.

See the manuals on this site.
DVD Home Theater System

Appears that you have a bad cap in the power supply that is changing value as it heats up. Hard to find - only thing you can do is go to suspected units and replace them hoping that you got the bad one. Or just wait till it finally pops.

please select the option from your dell home theater speaker system

Having browsed the user manual I wonder if you plugged in the Sony BDV T57 Home Theatre System while the Polaroid FLM-2632 tv was powered down via the optical cable .
Then powered up the Sony BDV T57 Home Theatre System first and then powered up the Polaroid FLM-2632 tv
Maybe the Polaroid FLM-2632 TV has to detect that the Sony BDV T57 Home Theatre System is connected and powered up when the Polaroid FLM-2632 powers up. To activate its digital audio out ????
The note part about only being available only under HDTV (cable/air) mode. Might be the cause of your hassle also ?

how can i solve this problem at the IPOD they say for me www.apple.com\support\ipod

you are to buy component to HDMI adaptor.

I reccomend a Denon AVR-2809. It had 4 HDMI inputs, all 1.3a and higher, and one HDMI out for your TV!

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.

Yes select audio optical out on your Blu Ray Player under Audio settings and make sure the Denon is set to Optical or Auto in. You should be set to go

if you have a satellite receiver or cable converter box get the sound there and put into home theatre.... my sony has blown audio amp and this works for me retired santa
