Connecting Sony BDP-S5200 Blu-Ray to amp. With audio CD, works fine. But with video disk, produces only loud buzz. Ideas?

Sorry, there is no easy way to place the blame for this. You would need to analyze the digital data stream from the BRP with expert equipment and intelligence to determine if the data stream was properly formatted, then with a known good disk, whether the player was decoding correctly or your source disc was bad. Short: could be source disc, player, or incompatible data stream. No easy answer from here.

I just set mine up and I'm having the same issue. Voices are muffled and distant, guitars and horns also. I tried cranking up the surround, then the center, switching back and forth from DTS to DD without luck. BD seems to have great sound and play fine, then my old DVD's (so far Steely Dan 2 Against Nature and Allman Brothers Live at the Beacon which BOTH sounded spectcular with a $40 DVD player plugged into my home stereo using only the 2 channel mode output) are very bass heavy, you can barely hear the guitars or backup singers even when you are looking at them on the stunning picture from the Samsung 50" plasma. SOMEONE else must be noticing this from what was the best you could get 5 years ago? Thanks in advance. Otherwise when playing radio sound has more balance and while not up to the levels of my old stereo system now in the basement to eliminate clutter in my small living room, I was expecting far better sound from this system when playing my DVD's with DD and DTS encoding on this system that sounded soooo incredible on the old stuff. HELP?

I need this ability as well as I need to daisy chain the audio output to another amp. There definitley is no secondary digital audio out, so if someone who has this unit could see if the SA-CD or Video 1 audio outputs work for all input sources, that would be great. This is the only thing keeping me from buying this unit. Thanks.

I have the same player you have and have played those very same blu ray dvd's I would unplug the player.wait a few min. allow it to reboot........andtry it again if all else fails...I would try a different disc from that collection.and If that doest work you may have gotten a defective set of discs.

I forgot I posted this. We noticed that it is significantly less loud when playing a dvd vs a blu ray. Trying to decide if we should return it and get a different one or not. So if anyone has this please let me know is you BR player loud?

Mark, I am considering buying a Sony KDL-40EX700 TV and a BDV-E770W or BDV-570 Blu-ray Disc Player Home Entertainment sytem. I went to the Sony web site and contacted David P. on their chat link and asked the HDMI hook up question.His reply is as follows: "I'd be happy to assist you with that. There is one HDMI connection on those systems that connects to your Television. Once you have connected that, you would then plug any other devices that you have (Cable Box, Game Systems etc) to your TV via HDMI and it will send the sound to the surround sound system." Sounds like it should work but have yet to try it. Good luck. Mark, I am considering buying a Sony KDL-40EX700 TV and a BDV-E770W or BDV-570 Blu-ray Disc Player Home Entertainment sytem.

Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable. Ive never used one. There is a port on my PS3 as well as my surrond sound. He said this cable was the best way to get the highest quality out of your surround sound. Kind of like comparing SD to HD. My optima will be coming in tomorrow, I cant wait. Kinda like christmas for me haha. Thanks for the advice on the ceiling mount. I was gonna buy the 20$ one but after your comment I went for the Atdec TH-WH-PJ-FM Telehook Universal Projector Flush Mountit was 54$ but had some good reviews. Cant wait till tomorrow....calling into work sick! Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable.

Agree with the previous comment with the one exception - mine had nonworking CD player so I returned it. Purchased similar but a little more expensive SONY.

I have a Sony Home Theater Blu Ray surround sound system and no problems. On my Sony I turned Audio setting for the HDMI off. All sound goes through the Optical Cable. I also have BluRay disk set with External Speaker only sound. I'm really guessing the problem is in your Yamaha set up or wires. Just ensure optical wire is pushed all the way in. Good luck.

My best guess would be cables that are hook up to your amp or phono amp need a ground isolator on one of your hook ups.My computer hook up to my receiver would hum,Radio Shack had a ground isolator.Stop the hum.Double check your wiring on your cartridge also red,green, blue, white,wires must be correct.Good Luck.

I have the RCA output of the DVD player hooked direct into the input of the eq. It label well on the back of the eq. Use a good set of RCA

I got my subwoofer (a BIC F12) and my sub works fine playing CD's in stereo or in 5.1. I have all my speakers set to SMALL and then the sub is set to YES. I tried setting the fronts to LARGE and the SUB to PLUS but that simply increased my bass slightly. It didn't turn anything on or off. Hapkido, not sure why it didn't work for you. I have played CD's on both the blu-ray player through HDMI and on my CD changer with the RCA outputs, and both ways I get sound from my subwoofer.Are you playing CD's on your BD player or is it a dedicated CD player?

Check the Onkyo website FAQs for your unit. There is a list of reasons there. It isn't explained well in their manual. Make sure your blu ray isn't doing the decoding and sending a multichannel signal.

On page 18 of the manual, it lists the steps for audio settings--I would suggest you go thru all the steps in the order shown for that page as well as 19 and 20--You may want to recheck the settings on your amplifier as I have not had this problem on any discs.

I just received a 50' vga cable with audio. Connected one end to the computer and ran the the other end around the room to my big screen. The video works well but there is a buzzing sound when i plug in audio. Is there anything that can be done to stop that buzzing noise?
