Stumped: TV sound to surround speakers
|
New member Username: Joer67Post Number: 2 Registered: Apr-06 | Ok, I can NOT figure this out. I have a TV with NO RCA's. (and no VCR). I have a 4 channel RF Modulator that has one set of RCA Outputs as well as 3 sets of Inputs. Receiver has TV Audio Inputs. I've tried hooking up an RCA cable from the receiver TV Audio inputs to the RF Modulator Audio Outputs... and NO luck. DVD player works fine through TV and 5.1 surround. Playstation works fine through TV and 5.1 surround. I CANNOT get the TV audio through the 5.1 Help? |

The problem is the unit themselves. They were not designed with what you want to do in mind. Forget about your DVD player and your cable box. That is not the problem...you are trying to use it with a TV that cannot do what you want it to do. |
