DTV Cable No Sound

Make sure your video and sound cable is working (rca, hdmi cable etc) and your source component like dvd player or settop box is working. If cable is plug into a socket AV 3 or HDMI 3 for e. g. make sure the tv is source or input is selected the same like AV 3 etc.

It is possible for the TV to switch on or off but no picture or sound. This means the input board or tv tuner is faulty in which case you need a good tv repair technician

Hi,here is my simple solution...
To listen your TV on your samsung ps wx30 surround sound system ,
** you need to connect "Audio Output " RCA jacks or "Optic cable output" or "HDMI out " of your TV unit
** to "AUX input " or "TV" OR "Any input" of your dvd player or "Optic Cable input" or "HDMI input"
** than just switch to respective mode on dvd player corresponding your RCA or Optic connection or HDMI ..
.
There you go..Your TV sound is on the dvd player By this means whatever you watch on the
TV (tuner, satellite , Xbox , etc..) ,it's sound will come thru your dvd player.

Hope this helps!..if more he?p requires pls let me know..

Digital settings need to be assigned by the receiver in the ption Menu >> Audio Select.

Check the one for the HDMI from DTV/CBL.

The RX-V365 cannot process audio from the HDMI cables (you will still be able to hear it on your TV), you will need to run a seperate coaxial or optical cable into the audio input for the relevant component on the back of the RX-V365.

I checked Amazon, it says "For connections, you get 1 each composite- and S-video inputs for your DVD player, VCR, or other audio/video device, and a set of component-video inputs for your progressive-scan DVD player or DTV set-top box."

Your TV does not have a audio out since it is a smaller TV. You need to get a tuner and route the sound system through there.

If you are not getting sound on "Any" input except "multi channel" you have a bad DSP chip in the receiver.In short, you need a new receiver, it's a 500.00 repair. If you get sound on "All" inputs except "DTV/CBL" You need to get into the main menu of the Yamaha and select audio, toggle to input, then DTV/CBL and select "Auto". If you still do not get audio, it would be due to the version of HDMI software in your receiver. If it's under warranty, Yamaha will update hardware and software for you at N/C. If it's out of warranty, use digital coaxial or optical as your audio input for TV and run your HDMI directly to the TV. (The repair for this too would run 250-350) I hope I've covered all the possibilities. If you need further help, post a comment and I can help you more.

If you don't have one, the manual is available online: http://static.highspeedbackbone.net/pdf/AVR-488-OM-E_101.pdf

Suggestions:

1. Reset to default values. Per page 36 of manual: 1. Turn off Power. 2. Press Power while simultaneously pressing Speaker A and Speaker B. 3. Once the display starts flashing at intervals of about 1 second, release the two buttons.

2. Make sure you have AM or FM radio reception. This makes sure your speakers, amps, etc are connected and working correctly.

3. Connect DVD player to HDMI 1 in and TV to HDMI Monitor Out.
Play a known good DVD that works when you connected the DVD directly to the TV via HDMI.

Select the DVD/HDP input on the receiver and play the DVD. You should not have to perform any input assignments, etc. It should just work, as HDMI1 is the default system setting for DVD.

4. If possible, obtain a STB with HDMI out & repeat step 3 using the HDMI2 TV/CBL input. Keeping the signal path all digital (HDMI) will give you a better picture quality than forcing several analog to digital conversions (component video is analog).

4A. To use the component connection, first test by connecting the STB directly to the TV via component video/audio if possible. This tests that the component video output of the STB is working correctly.

Next, remove direct connection and connect via receiver. Connect STB to receiver as shown on page 13 in manual. Connect component video output from STB to component video input #2 (tv/cbl) on receiver. Connect the STB audio output to the corresponding tv/cbl audio inputs.

Make sure nothing is connected to the HDMI2 input or to any other TV/CBL inputs (composite video, s-video, digital coax audio).

Now select the TV/CBL input and turn on the STB. You should have both audio & video.

theres probably a problem with the right channel cable or plug that connects the tv to the reciever, or the tv is set to mono audio.

Simplest thing would be that your component cables are not HU'd correctly. Having them reversed would do this.

I'm assuming you you have a basic TV to receiver hookup. Make sure you have the TV audio video output going to the receiver input.
