I have a older Sony TV. I want to connect my magnavox dvd and older surround sound and my DISH network together. I need a diagram or step-by-step instructions as I am NOT literate to hooking these up....Greetings from the Great State of Maine..:)

Hi my name is Mike Houston of DISH Network, I see you aretrying to connect your Blu-ray to the surround sound system and you have DISHNetwork. I wanted to get a little more detail about the equipment to betterassist you, I was looking for the model numbers for the Sony and Philipsequipment to look at the configuration as well did you want any of the componentsconnected to the DISH receiver. I will leave you my e-mail to get the componentmodel numbers and will you be connecting it to our DISH equipment.

Hello,
The best way to do this is to connect you dish network receiver is directly to the tv. Try to use the best video type possible. HDMI is the best, next is component and lastly is composite. This will take care of the video portion. Next, connect digital audio output to the Kenwood Receiver. I dont know what type of a digital audio output your dish box has, but your kenwood receiver has both optical and coaxial inputs so you should be fine there. Once you have both audio and video wired, change the inputs on both your tv and kenwood receiver to the inputs you are connected to. You might need to set up the kenwood to tell it that your running digital audio to it in the setup menus. Hopefully this helps, let me know if you need any clarification.
Good Luck

To get the functionality you're looking for you'll need to to take the cable running from your DVR output and connect it to the input on your DVD recorder. Next you want to connect a cable from your DVD recorder output and connect it to your TV. If this is an HD set up you want to use HD Cables for all of the connections.

Hello!! Hopefully you have gotten this resolved already, but if not, here are some simple steps to run through!!!!!!


1. Hold down the clear TV button until all lights light up at the top of the remote
2. Punch in a 3 digit code (provided below)
3. Press the # (POUND) button
4. Try powering the tv on/off, and the volume. If one or more of these functions do not work, start over from step 1 with a different code

Providing you have enough input ports on the surround run you a red and white audio RCA jack from the receiver out port for TV1 and connect to the same colored ports on the satellite in ports on the surround. If you do not have enough ports then you may have to use the in ports on the DVD etc to run the TV through to utilize the surround system. Thanks for using Fix Ya.

Hi,
Please check the video connections properly, if you are having any problem with the sound system you wont get even sound and hence please check the video connection wiring properly to resolve your issue.

HI, connect audio output from tv to system,you may have to turn this on or turn up in tv menu for some sharp tvs,this should get sound for tv and dvd and anything else you hook up to tv.

Hope this helps.

Is the volume on the dish network device turned all of the way dowm?

Is the dish network connected to its pwn input on the SS system and did you turn the SS system to that input ?

Are you using the analog input (red and white) cables to the input from the TV to the SS System?, not from the SS box? This is not the correct setup?
