Problems with white and red

[hybridauth_Facebook_855065631234157]

I have recently got a new tv and im trying to plug my av to it with red and white straight to the tv red and white output and its not working, am i doing it wrong ?

 

[bigboss]

Which TV have you got? And what's the model of the AV you're connecting?

 

[jjbomber]

The red and white output from the TV goes to a line input on the AV amp. Make sure you select the correct line input on the amp.

Check that there is sound reaching the TV

Check the AV amp is not muted and that the sound is not on 0.

Are the speakers wired in properly?

Try those first. If you are still stuck, ask again with the TV and AV amp make and model.

I have a curved samsung uh8000 and the speakers are working 100%. I have an old panasonic with a dvd receiver home cinema thing, i got it 3 years ago. I tried plugging it in with hdmi and it still doesnt make a sound but the dvd works. But i also plugged in a white red and orange cables to audio jack (audio jack to the tv) and only 2 front speakers and sub work, I have 2 front 2 surround a sub and a front speaker. I have no knowledge of any of this i only know that red goes to red and white goes o white.

The Receiver would have to be ARC enabled to play the HDMI output from your TV. If it is old, it probably isn't.

The red, white and orange will work the front right, left and sub These are analogue and cannot produce sound to 6 channels, only 3.

There should also be an optical output, sometimes marked S/PDIF. That can produce 5.1 channel surround sound, depending on the input signal. However, if the input is PCM Stereo, then it will only output digital stereo. This is still probably the best solution.

will this do the job ?

That converts a digital stereo signal to a analogue stereo signal. For example, that could take the digital S/PDIF output from the TV and convert it to the red and white analogue line in feed. It will be the same as now where you take a red and white feed from the TV anyway.

I believe the Samsumg TVs have a speaker selection mode in the settings. Make sure that these are set up correctly for the digital output. What sound are you trying to repreoduce? Is it a TV aerial feed?

Frankly, so am I...

Adrian - you really should give us the model numbers of your two units (TV and amp/receiver). As far as I understand, you're trying to connect TV to amp yet do appear to not have the right cables for this task? And the amp doesn't have an optical input (sure?)? What *I* am quite sure of, however, is that your TV doesn't have an analogue output - those white/red sockets will most probably be inputs for the component/composite video inputs...

i knew this would happen.

the audio device is a panasonic xv-dv 370 and the tv is a samsung ue55h8000

The Panasonic has an Optical Line 2 Digital In and the Samsung has a Digital Audio Out Optical. As long as the Samsung is receiving a surround sound source, it can output that to the Panasonic. You will have to go to TV Sound Output in the menu to make sure it is set correctly.

Did you look at this ? This is a DCS 370. My looks like this

 

[hybridauth_Facebook_855065631234157]

i was using the line 1 connector before for my old tv

 

[simonlewis]

That picture shows it has an optical line in why don't you use that and use optical line out from your tv.

 

[hybridauth_Facebook_855065631234157]

What. Where?

 

[7760]

My looks like this

No digital input, so you'll have to use a digital-to-analogue converter. Or replace the system...

 

[simonlewis]

What. Where?

Apologies i was looking at the wrong picture, you mentioned getting a DAC earlier on in the thread that might be the best way.

tv optical out --> DAC --> red and white phono in on your amp. *good*

 

[hybridauth_Facebook_855065631234157]

Thank you so much everybody.

 

[bigboss]

What. Where?

Simonlewis is correct. Your TV has a digital audio out (optical) and your Panasonic has an Optical in.

This is your model, right? It shows optical in.

OK I was looking at the model that BigBoss was showing. On what you have, the short answer is that you cannot input surround sound from the TV to your DCS 370.

The best you can do is analogue output from the TV to your system. Connect the Red and White OUTPUT from the TV to the Line 2 INPUT on the DCS 370. That will give you stereo sound to your front speakers only.

 

[hybridauth_Facebook_855065631234157]

So a DAC wouldnt do anything ?

 

[simonlewis]

YES you need a DAC you have red and white phono connectors on your tv but they are inputs, the only audio out you have is digital audio out, so unless you have digital audio in on your amp you need a DAC.

But will all my speakers work with a DAC or just the 2 front?

Sorry can't answer that.
