If your receiver has an optical in (its a small square port ) and your genie also has an optical out you can use a fiber optical cable to connect them. AmazonBasics Digital Optical Audio Toslink Cable - 6 Feet (1.8 Meters)

I need more info. but I'll try. HDMI is the way to go. Source (what you want to watch) fed to reciever then to projector. Directv should have hdmi, but if its component your issue is that this projector doesn't have component video jacks. And you would have to use rca composite for connection. If it does, but receiver does not support hdmi. I'd run the hdmi directly to the projector from directv, but also run composite audio cables (red and white sometimes black) from directv to reciever for the sound. If the source is dvd not blu-ray I'd run an s-video cable to projector and send the sound from dvd player to receiver like direct with the rca composite cables. I need more info. but I'll try.

I have a receiver that runs all sound. Use the outs on your tv (not the HDMI which carries sound and video) and run the audio into your receiver and the video to the projector. I use RCA cables that come out of my xbox and a Dvi to VGA that comes out of my laptop. You can use the RCA video out of your DVD player and there should be some kind of audio out on your direct tv box. There are multiple source inputs on the projector which are easy to switch using the source button on the projector receiver. You might need some adaptors.

First of all, you need an amplifier (or receiver) that connects TV and speaker. In this case, your TV is like a CD player.Buy a cheap receiver that have several connecting option including traditional stereo jack, optical. Of course you need to buy a optical cable.New TVs tend to have only optical.

You need a receiver/home theater to hook speakers to for true surround sound. DVD is optional and would run thru your receiver/home theater system.

I am thinking this feature provides stereo sound to 2 remote speakers - perhaps also from a different source that what is in use with the Main system. Phone Denon about this - they are very good about sorting out all kinds of issues with their equipment.

5.1 Surround Sound is a product of the A/V signal itself. You can get a AV Receiver and hook the signal to it and then come out of the audio system (AVR) HDMI to your TV, and since the signals are all digital, there will be no degradation of the quality. My girlfriend has an older 5.1 system that gets its audio information encoded from the video signal, and uses an older Composite (yellow) video signal to decode the audio information. You can even get the audio from an HDMI on some systems. Check with the system you are interested in...and then shop around for others. On the back there is one stereo headphone jack that you can use as a stereo analog signal to hook up to a regular stereo system/amp/etc. Here is what LG has to say about that TV: Daniel: Hello Joe Smith. Welcome to LG Electronics U.S.A. Support only. How may I provide you with excellent service today? Joe Smith: Hello - Joe Smith: Concerning the 47LA6200, does it support Surround Sound and if so, what port do you hook up a system to? Daniel: I would be happy to help you with that. Daniel: I would like to please place you on a brief hold while I research that for you, will that be alright? Joe Smith: YEs, thank you! Daniel: You are welcome. Daniel: Thank you for your patience while I researched that for you. Daniel: You can hook up a sound system on the optical port. Joe Smith: Does it support 5.1 Surround or just stereo? Daniel: It will support both. Joe Smith: Thanks...have a great day! Daniel: You are welcome! is there anything else I can assist you with today? Joe Smith: Nope, that's it. Love my LG TV! :-)

Most all-in-one 5.1 surround sound systems will be strictly analog, meaning they will only accept RCA audio input. Most current model TV's however have only HDMI or Digital Optical audio output (and in some cases a 3.5 mm headphone jack). If the TV has a headphone jack then a 3.5 mm to RCA cable can be used, otherwise you would indeed need to find a digital to analog audio converter. A work around may also be to use your cable or satellite boxes RCA audio outputs as this will at least get your regular TV audio passed through the system. You would then have to manually connect a DVD or other device when you want to use it or get a small RCA input selector box. Some of these 5.1 units accept 6 individual RCA inputs to offer true 5.1 separation as opposed to spreading a stereo field across 5 speakers, and those units work best with BluRay, DVD players, or PS units that have these tyoe of individualized audio outouts in them). I hope that helps!

Don't have easy access to the back of mine so can't definately answer. Suggest you google the owner's manual for this model. Main question is why you would want audio to/from the tv. Connect your source input (cable/antenna/whatever) to the Denon and HDMI (or component) to the tv.

Try this On your remote down toward the bottom find the "surround" button. Click over till your screen shows "Multi Channel Stereo" that is the setting I put it on for all speakers to work.

Yes, you can plug an audio source into the transmitter via the 3.5mm port but you will only get analog stereo, not surround sound. For surround sound you need to use digital optical.

No...it's just the receiver. You have to have a separate DVD or blue ray player. You connect the player to the receiver to listen to it in surround sound.

If you have your TV connected to a surround sound system, you could connect the headphones to an audio output on the surround sound receiver. Either that, or you might try looking for an audio adapter that goes from digital to RCA plugs. Sorry to say, it doesn't sound like you have too many options. These headphones really do sound, and work great, if you can get them connected. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Hi missy, your DIRECTV Receiver SHOULD have an HDMI output. If indeed it's an HD Receiver. Just connect it straight to one of your HDMI Inputs on your display. What model do you have? H20, HR21?For your onkyo, you should connect your DIRECTV straight to your surround system, using an optical or digital coaxial cable.PS3? I don' t know much about game consoles. I'll ask my brother who knows more about this than I do, and get back to you.

All of the input/output connections on the back panel EXCEPT for the digital output use the common 1/8" DIN, male stereo cable.Note that if you want to produce Dolby 5.1 or 7.1 Surround Sound, each output needs a cable.

I have surround sound and all audio including comes through my speakers by way of my receiver. Where or how would I hook these up?
221274
Yes, there is an optical input so you can directly connect the Directv box with the receiver to get audio. If your TV supports the Audio Return Channel (ARC), the HDMI cable connecting this surround sound system and the TV could also be used to hear the DirecTV audio. Also, if you have a Samsung smart TV, you can use the Anyconnect to hear your DirecTV audio. Hope this helps.

hey, i have this system. my husband went to walmart and bought to different cables for less than 30 dollars, and it makes it have surround sound for cable tv too.

I just set my system's output to "Dolby Digital" when I watch anything thru my cable box, and I don't have any problem getting full surround sound during games, TV shows, movies, etc.. The "Dolby Digital" setting gives me the best overall sound for TV watching..
