Oh boy. If your tv has only composite in's run a regular video cable from your receivers "monitor out" to your tv set. Now hook up your dvd's video cable to your "dvd" video in jack on the receiver. Next hook up the dvd's audio cable, which is either a toslink digital cable or a coaxial digital cable. Hook up the rest of your components in the same fashion and your set.
ok i hooked up my dvd player with the optical cord going to the reciever and the component jacks going to the reciever and the analog jacks going there but now in dts mode watching jurasic park all i can hear is background noise in 5.1 but i can hear every thing in the 2 channel stereo dts mode anyone know why?
The DVD player audio OPtical goes to receiver. Both your reciever and your DVD player will have to be set up correctly for you to hear the DTS signal. ON the DVD player, check out audio options and look for PCM and signal and other options.( I think it says bitstream as an option) Usually only one of the options works for DTS. And I am too lazy to look up the right one and too tired. Someone else will likely jump in or you can do a little trial and error.The video cable from your DVD player should go direct to the display unles you have other video sources as well. So take the s -video cable or whatever you are using and go directly to the TV. S-Vid to receiever with composite out is truely less than optimal.
PS- there is no such thing as a two channel DTS mode- this is, I think, an oxymoron.
Hello everyone! I am new to this Audio stuff, so i have a few questions. I recently bought a DLP Tv, and have it hooked up to the cable box, via HDMI. I have a Harman Kardon AVR 335 and want to hook up my DVD Player and PS2 so i get the best pic and sound. I have heard something about Optical cables, but not sure how to hook them up or if i need them and Component Cables with them. Any info would be greatly apprecitated. Thanks
