    That part I understand ... like my surround sound on my dvd...easy enough.... but the jensen is not the same I am not sure if I am missing part of it or not. It has 5 speakers (2 front 2 rear one center) then the sub. The sub says jensen js800 and the hook up makes no sense to me I have tried every way to get sound and can only get base nothing from the speakers(the speakers are good I checked them on my other surround sound and all 5 work).The back of the sub has one rc (red) line in
    and where the speaker wires are suppose to hook up has 4 out lines 2pos. 2neg.
    then 4 in lines 2pos. and 2neg.
    It makes no sense and I am about to give up.... Thursday night is getting close
    (GO COLTS!!!)
    HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It is a powered one...You say "to connect the sub out from the jensen to my sub" What jensen? I am tring to connect my t.v. to the sub and then have the 5 speakers go around the room. But nothing I connect to the sub works the speakers don't seem to work(sub does but speakers won't on that sub) I am attaching a picture of the back of the sub... someone suggested I might be missing a reciever? Is that what you are refering to as my jensen? o.k. the picture will not post "invalid file".... jeez just not my day for computers...ugg!!! it is a js800 but the speakers say jht 805 could that be the problem? p.s. I am sorry for being such a headache! Kathie

1st off i have the same system, but who ever said you were missing the receiver they are right. the jensen jht-805 (that does come with a JS-800 sub) is not a "stand alone system you need to hook them up to a receiver to get them to work. i have them hooked up to sony 6.1 600watt system and they work great. sorry to have to give you the bad news that you have to buy a receiver to enjoy the speakers.......if anyone could email me on where to buy a replacement speaker for the front one of the jht-805 i'd be grateful (my daughter poked it with a pen) [email protected]

From the TV or Cable Box look for the audio output (red/white) use a RCA cable and hook to your Jensen system. Look for audio input on your Jensen and choose the right input selection. Example: Aux connect the RCA on the Aux input, TV connect the RCA on the TV input on your Jensen and so on....

    is your sub a powered one? If then connect the sub out from ur jensen to ur sub (red line in). Then try to connect ur 4 speaker on ur jensen take that 2+ 2- for the front speaker use 1+, 1- for each speaker. Make sure you choose the right selector for that input.

    1 more thing if there is a stereo selector please try that first to make sur you have a sound on the front speaker.

I have jensen vm9412 that has a broke cable

Hello smcdon,

I'd go directly to Jensen. If the cable was defective when you purchased it, it should be replaced under warranty.

Here's the link to Jensen's web site.

Hope this helps.

What is a trigger wire?

I'm not familiar with that particular model number, trigger is generally used for: external amplifier turn on, or power antenna turn on (though standard wire codes for trigger for most brands are blue and or blue with white stripe). I expect it is for amp turn on ... if everything else is working as expected ... tape up any exposed metal on the wire and forget it.

Uv8 some seakers dont work in dvd/cd mode

You have the wrong wire hooked up to turn on your amplifire. You used the blue wire but need to use the Blue/White wire!! That is an amp turn on wire Thje blue one is for a power antenna and goes dead when you put in a disc. The tweeters play because they are hooked direct to your Jensen. You'll be jamming in no time.

06 cobalt stock system hook up

I cant really assist in this matter but I can let you know that I have a system in my 2006 Chevy Cobalt and that I have an aftermarket cd player installed. I had to pay $130 for a special adapter for it to be wired into the system because GM's newest idea of installing the stereo and airbags on the same wire scheme, is kind of a dumb idea.

Bridging My AMP

This amplifier uses the left + and the right - for bridging. The manual is available from Jensen but you have to email them to get it.

Jensen VM9510 Car DVD Player

try each of the four speakers independently. It's likely that ONE is blown (or has a wire shorted to ground) and is causing the unit to shut down.
