I still tried - adjusted the receiver and TV - now when i increase the TV volume and if the receiver is on - it increases the receiver volume with the same TV remote - so definitely the TV and receiver are linked - but still i don't hear the tv sound - I assigned a AV port 4 and i cant listen anything on that port 4 on the receiver. the analog sound out from tv goes to 2 and when i switch the receiver to port 2 - i hear the sound.

Chantal M., We're sorry to hear that you're having a hard time getting audio through your receiver. If the audio stopped working, you might try two things: 1. Making sure "External" is selected for the speaker types. If you're not sending the audio from the TV to the optical or audio output port, no audio will leave the TV. 2. Check your cable and make sure it works, especially if it's a digital optical cable (since those can be fragile sometimes). If you still have a hard time getting audio, please reach out to the Samsung customer service center for live troubleshooting assistance. Thanks for your support of Samsung products. --Mr. S

Have you tried to call their technical support? They were really helpful when I called them. Also, you can always return it. I returned my first one since I had some issues with the sound and got a replacement and it is perfect. Check the HDMI Cable too. You may need to try another one in case it is bad.

Thanks. I will check out that issue. I have had the Samsung LN-T5265F for LESS THEN 4 MONTHS and have had 3 problems already. No picture, only sound. Lasts for a day then it seems fine again. Got a frimware update last time. Now, its wait a week for service man to show again and hope it works again tomorrow. Now I know why I have stayed away from anything Samsung for the last 30 years....

Samsung TVs are limited to output 2 channel via the optical output. It's DRM. You have to bypass the TV with your audio source to receive true surround signals.

I have a couple of Sharp TVs that have the variable audio out but they are a couple fo years old. I don't know if Sharp still has it. I know the Samsungs don't have it.

I can vouch that the built in speakers on Samsung's 550 series are pretty disappointing. They fire down and back instead of forward, giving a muffled sound. IMHO Samsung's picture quality is marginally better, and I'm unsure if Sony's L line has a problem with the white "sparkles" that the W and V lines have with programming shown through HDMI, but I know on the W and V series sets that the built in sound is much better. If prices are comparable I'd go with the Sony.

Are you sure? I have a Samsung TV, it only mentions SPDIF (digital) audio output in the manual, but it works. An easy way to test it is to just plug any old set of headphones into the jack and see if you can hear it.

I just searched the Emanual on the TV and it says that Bluetooth audio is only available with LED 6400 series and higher. The feature is called SoundConnect.

A lot of the new (2009) samsungs have buzzing issues. I tried two pn50b650's and they both buzzed. They also had faint horizontal white lines that were cleary visible when watching a dark movie. If you choose Samsung be sure to buy it from someone that you are able to return it to.

Joe there are factors that come into play with a 5 Channel system. First normal TV/Satellite/Cable broadcasts in stereo so only 2 channels will provide sound. Some DVD's may also be the same. The Satellite speakers and the center channel will not provide any sound. I am not sure if the HT-F6500W has a setting in the setup that allows you to play stereo through the entire system, splitting the signal through the 5 speakers. You might want to check with Samsung. There is a setting that allows the system to self test and play a tone through all speakers to make sure they're all working. Hope this helps.

Yes. Had the same problem with the BD 390 and Netflix/YouTube. You need to dial the Resolution down to 1080i in order to get sound. I guess Netlix & YouTube don't support 1080p audio.Hope this helps!

It "Does this support audio return channel via HDMI. Takes a little help from tech support to get it set up for this.

The one I purchased worked fine and I had sound. you just had to get up and push the button to change the channel if you will between the different devices. Sounds like you could have a faulty adapter.
