Can I do this. I don't know what I am doing. I just bought an AVR 310 audio video receiver (harman/kardon) and I want to connect a cd player to it so I went to the local cash converters and got this RCA255 dvd receiver. Can I use this to play my CD's with my receiver or am I way off. Pls help.
Janice
Ok is your cash converters purchase a RCA, RTD255 system or is the RCA255 you quote something else, I'll assume that we are dealing with the first, and that seems to be a All in one system that contains speaks amp etc
You also have your new AVR 310 which is amplifier that one would connect a stand alone DVD/CD player to, You wouldn't connect the cash converter purchase to it, it is a seperate system.
You could use your cash converter system alone without the AVR310 but not with it.
Do you have speakers connected to your Harman Karden amp (nice amp), do not use the ones that come with the cash converter stuff it will cook em!
HERE is specs I used in checking your amp.
THIS is spec sheet on your RCA (not so nice) unit
on the RCA unit note there is no Audio output facility i.e.
Audio In / Out 2 / 0
Video In / Out 0 / 1
Cheers Janice, Subwoofer, we can check if it is connected correctly by a feature your amp has got, i'll be post back in a tic
I want to know if amp is sending sound to subwoofer when in another sound mode. Could be cause CD's are stereo and you want 5.1 but most amps can convert and yours surely will.
its called a test tone noise generator on HK amp
Here is a link to your user MANUAL for the HK
ON back of amp middle there is a button " Test Tone Selector "
push to hear if woofer is connected correctly. It is the button when facing back about the middle first one of 5
Analog just means that a Stereo (2 channel) sound source has been detected, when using DVD (5.1 channel) it should notice.
There is "OSD" button on your remote, press it to get to setup screen (tv needs to be hooked up to HK)
Check to see if there is cable plugged into subwoofer output on rear of HK if TEST TONE fails.
Can get around TV.
Thankyou Janice I enjoyed helping, happy tunes and read the manual I posted it may help, it was all I was doing here.

Test tone is on front ah well "upside down miss jane"

Hi
Thank you so much, I had an idea what I was doing was not working. I ended up driving to Best Buy a getting their 5 disc CD changer - Insignia. (Any good? I just need something to get me by until I can get a better one - if needed). I have all the speakers, but my subwoofer is not working. I probably do not have it set up right. Any suggestions? It sounds awesome. I am listening to K. Clarksons new album and it sounds soo good. Thank you so much. I went from a small system to my 2nd hand receiver - but it is deluxe. I love it!! Thx so much for you help. This is an awesome service. Good for a single Mom who doesn't know what she is doing - or its a struggle at times!! Thx so much again.
One more thing!
On my receiver it is stating I am in analog. ???? All my speakers are working but my sub. It is a velodyne DLS 3500 R. Thx.
Yeh - thx It's NOT making any noise. I had a pro come and set up my system and I moved it from upstairs (TV room) down to the main floor. I THINK he only had one monster cable connecting it to the receiver. But I am not sure. I don't have it connected properly now. It is on but no sound! Thx!!
Is there any other way? No TV.
checking
BINGO!! Thx man - your a hero in the stereo world!!!!
Janice - You saved me HOURS!! OF FRUSTRATION. I am so appreciative. Thank you so much again. Cheers to you comrade.
No worries!! right. Thx again.
