Do I need to have the TV turned on to listed to an audio CD in my blu-ray player? Without the TV turned on there is no sound.

To add to the others responses - you want the bluray player plugged directly into the receiver, rather than plugged into the TV and an optical cable running from TV to receiver. Then you should hear any sound produced when you have the blu ray and receiver on. You may need to turn on the TV to navigate menus on your Bluray.

TV is not necessary for playing music CD's, DVD's or Blu-Ray sound disks. The sound will come from your speakers & not the TV, but you can also use the TV speakers if you like.

I don't think you have to. Set the tuner to DVD/Blue Ray and you should have sound. You do need external speakers connected.

Make sure your tv is on the external speaker setting, but if blu ray is ran through the receiver the tv shouldn't have to be on......

if the blue ray player is connected directly to the receiver, you should not need the tv on. check to make sure you are using the correct input on the Sony, the one the blue ray playwe identified connected to.

I found this to be so with mine also, I don't like it but at least I get to see the running time of each track that I have. It would be nice to have the TV off However And just enjoy the music

Will,Why do you need an optical cable and an HDMI between the TV and the Bluray? Doesn't the HDMI do both audio and video?Brian

My unit has never done that. I know some players have a feature that will turn the unit off after a period of inactivity but that can be changed in the settings. I've never had this Blu-Ray player turn on by itself so I'm not sure about that part. Either there is a glitch in the player's computer.... or the machine is haunted. If so, call those ghost hunter guys. They won't accomplish anything but you'll get to be on television.

I believe it needs to be connected directly to the tv via a HDMI cable. Using your tv remote, you choose the source of the incoming signal wether its TV, HDMI 1, HDMI 2, PC ect. Whichever HDMI it's plugged into, it will say right next to it "player". Choose that one and the player automatically loads to the Blu Ray player menu screen. When done with Blu Ray, go back to TV remote and return the source button to TV and your cable box or Direct TV will fire back up. I assume you mean the DVR from Direct. You cannot record from the BLU ray onto the Direct TV DVR to my knowledge. Hope this helps/ I believe it needs to be connected directly to the tv via a HDMI cable.

you can go into the Audio and check speaker volume, I turned down the front 2 speakers and the center channel and turned up the rear volume; also when you play dvd or blu ray make sure you have set for 5.1 channel. Not all are set this way automatically. hope that is of some help

Never had this problem but it sounds as if the Autoplay function for the CD is turned off. Go to the Control Panel, Hardware and Sound, and check the settings for Autoplay. Hope this helps.

I installed my sound bar through my bluray player. I don't know if you're trying to plug in from your tv or what, but the sound should come from whatever is actually playing the media.

Thank you Sayaseng, so if i have a video file, i can watch on this tv without connecting wires, right?so if my computer plays blu-ray discs, i can see the video on this tv, without a need for a dvd player, right?

You need a stereo receiver. Amazon has a number of them for sale for under $200. I would go with a Yamaha or a Sherwood. If music sound is what you mainly want, I strongly suggest you integrate your receiver and speakers into your tv system - there are any number of ways to do that. That way you can hear your tv AND music through the speakers, by using your dvd/bluray to play your music. Also, if you upload your cd's into ITunes (make sure you edit your "preferences" to MP3), you can then burn mp3 cd's in data format to play in your dvd player. Those cd's will give you a great sound and over 10 hours of continuous music. Then you can ditch the Sony cd player, which will only play one audio cd at a time. You need a stereo receiver.

Hi AB, the sound trouble you are having may mot be a direct result of the set. It could a combination of the settings in the sound menu of the TV & the cable box.Adjust the sound on the TV while playing a music CD through it. Once you have the sound you like, switch to TV and play with the sound menu in the cable box.

I hooked it up to the TV. Works OK but no sound in the rear speakers (surround) for regular TV or the online stuff. I wonder if the online stuff would be better (surround, etc.) if plugged into the Blu Ray player. The other annoying thing is I have to use three remotes and have to keep switch the blu Ray to "D in 1" to get any sound from TV/internet.

Yes - my TV didn't have an optical out, so I ended up getting a converter; there was a tiny delay in the sound, but it was only perceptible when I had the TV audio on as well.

Do you have component put to your TV? If you have something connected to the receiver using component cables you have to have component cables ran to the TV from the receiver also otherwise you won't have picture just sound

the receiver will have to be turned on to get TV sound. My problem is with Blu Ray soundtrack passes thru but no voices.

you have to make sure the radio that you hook up the tv to is comp. with dvd and cdThe Tv does not have a dvd/cd slot.

NO, it did not come with any cabling to connect to a TV or Surround Sound Receiver. To get the full definition of Blu-Ray disc's Your TV will need to have an HDMI port, as the primary output from this player is HDMI. If it doesn't have one, I would consult someone locally that can help You determine if Your TV would be compatible.

I connected it directly to the tv. My my bluray player ran through my tv as well and therefore the bluray sound went to the surround system.
