I have a 5.1 channel Insignia receiver that I'm using to set up a home theater system. I am connecting my Samsung blu-ray player to it with an hdmi cable. The sound and video work correctly until the menu comes up, and then the tv displays "no signal" but the sound stays on. If I switch the receiver to another output signal and then back to the blu ray, the video comes back on, but every time a menu switch comes up, I have to do this. (For example, it loses the video signal when I load the blu ray; I switch it on and off and then it comes back, but I lose it again when I start the movie. I have no idea what is wrong with it.

You have a few options depending on the entire system.

Do you have the TV audio output connected to the home theater system? In that case, connect the Blu-ray player to an HDMI input on the TV. Then leave the home theater system set to the TV input, while the TV is set to the HDMI input for the Blu-ray player. This is the simplest method.

You could use an audio extractor/converter. Here's an example: https://www.amazon.com/J-Tech-Digital-Premium-Extractor-Converter/dp/B00BIQER0E . This will let you send the video signal to the TV (with a second HDMI cable) and have digital or analog audio sent to the home theater system.

If the TV doesn't have an available HDMI port and the home theater system only has analog audio inputs, you could use an HDMI to component video converter. You'd use something like this: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/770115-REG/KanexPro_HDRGBRL_HDMI_to_Component_Converter.html . (Do not use an HDMI to component cable. Those only work with some projectors.)

I hope this helps. Please add a comment with more details about your TV and audio system for more specific information.

change the input settings on the SONY. sometimes there are are HDMI INPUTS AND OUTPUTS on high end systems. Make sure you are in INPUT

did you ever fix this?

do you have it hooked up via hdmi to a tv that has hdmi? also make sure you set the output for the dvd/blu ray player to the correct output your using (hdmi 1 or w/e not a passthru or input) also if your using component cables you may have to go to menu on the unit and select that as your outpput get back to me let me now if this helped

LG documentation states:

When you use SIMPLINK function, you have to

connect to the OPTICAL IN 1 jack to enjoy TV
sound to your speaker system.

Basically you need to have the Audio go from TV to receiver and setup receiver to that Input to output surround sound to all speakers.

If you have a cable box or satellite receiver, hook that output into the receivers input and that should work.

My setup is DirectTv HDMI output goes into the LG Home Theater HDMI Input 1, and LG goes HDMI output into the TV HDMI input 1.
so to watch DirectTV, I switch LG Home theater to HDMI Input 1. and TV is on HDMI input 1 (to view LG HDMI output from DriectTV, Blu-Ray, Vudu, etc.)

You need to connect the "Audio/Digital Audio Out" of the TV or Cable box to the "Audio Input" of your home theater receiver.

You plug the home theater system into the television's hdmi in slot. However you want to plug the blu ray player into the HOME theater system's hdmi in slot not the television's.

Then you can take another hdmi cable and connect the hdmi out from the television into another hdmi in on the home theater if you have enough room.

You have several ways to do this. You can hdmi cables from the two units and plug them into your tv if it supports hdmi and run the audio out portion on the back of the tv and hook that into one of the audion inputs on the surround unit. Or you run audio directly out of the bluray using rca, digital coax, or digital optical cable. Turn the surround reciever to the corresponding input that you choose to use.

Connect the PS3 with HDMI to the Home theatre.

Connect the TV digital optical out put to the optical input cable of HT-BD2R provide your tv has a optical digital out put

You have the option of channeling the out put through either optical or HDMI in PS3.Go to the set up and set the audio out put to HDMI

If your system has hdmi in puts put the blu ray player into it then from hdmi out on system to hdmi in on your tv.Now take a phono lead from tv out put to a input on your system,could be marked "aux,tv,sat".For tv sound set the system to prologic2,blu rays should decode themselves,if not check settings for audio out on player.
hope this helps.
