why won't tv and Ipod play back speakers on this product

you must purchase an optical audio cable, that is sold seperatly. It took me a while to figure that out. Plus , I have an older Ipod, the one just before the touch and it will not play mine. It does play the newer ones.

Like Peter said, not all TV's bridge the sound from an hdmi in to a stereo out(digital/coax etc..) Try using a different output port, or going hdmi to the stereo, and then hdmi to the tv

I would first check the cables, whether they are plugged in correctly. Though it may seem silly, check on volume and muting. Go to settings in the TV and make sure the audio is set up correctly. If all other options have failed, You may have a problem with the TV itself. Should be under warranty!

You need to take the audio cable from the head phones and bring it to Radio Shack. Ask for the audio adopter for TV.

That's usually an option within the settings on your tv not the receiver. Might want to browse through some settings and see if it turned off the tv speakers when you connected to your receiver.

I have the same problem and unfortunately have not been able to play music from it either. Maybe we can get an answer from the makers on what we might be doing incorrect.

You may have to change the setting on your tv to use the external speaker. Mine sounds great.

I don''t have a Apple TV unit so not familiar with the set up. If you receive sound through both speakers by removing the Apple TV unit from the circuit and hook the DAC to your TV and your analog components, then I doubt the DAC is creating the problem.

I dont seem to be having that problem. Make sure you are using an optical cable or HDMI w/A.R., not RCA plugs. Or, if your TV has the ability, shut off the internal speakers.

Make sure the speakers are connected correctly, and the colored part is connected to the same color on the back of the device. If that fails, I suggest RMA.

Look for audio Left and Right channel outputs (red and white) on the back of the TV, if it has them. Some TVs only have inputs like this (not outputs - out will be clearly labelled if you have them), which won't help. If your TV has these outputs, you can connect them to any input on the back of your Sony receiver. However, even then it may not provide sound for sources connected to the TV (Sat, Cable, Disc) which are connected to your TV using HDMI cables. You could try using a headphone output on the TV plugged into the 3.5mm mini-jack on the back of the Sony, which would work with all sources connected to the TV. To try this just order a stereo connection cable with male 3.5mm plugs on each end. You'd have to turn the volume up some on both the TV and Sony receiver until you find the volume setting that gives you enough range to then control with the Sony remote. Another way would be to use RCA out jacks from the Source device itself, whether that is a cable/sat box or disc player. Then you have to switch audio separately from video on the TV, which can be confusing for some. The underlying issue here is that stereo receivers lack HDMI connections, which combine sound and picture with one cable.

Certain macs dont hold the ability to play the sound through the tv. I use external speakers and they work great!

Two things: 1. Make sure that the TV option for sound is set to the internal speakers, otherwise it will direct the sound signal to the mini-plug sound output jack on the back of the set (this is used to send the signal to another amplifier to drive external speakers). 2. Make sure that any routing of the HDMI signal to and from other devices is arranged properly (i.e. devices->inputs of receiver and Input to TV is from the TV-out hdmi port)

My guess is without knowing your setup is that one of your tv's don't have Audio out. Notice the plugs that it uses in the picture, some higher and lower end tv's skip this as it is an old tech also since it cancels the HD sound with analog sound.

If the TV has audio out, you can connect it to this amplifier which in turn can drive a set of speakers, controlled by the volume control on this amplifier. It might take some additional cabling to match the audio out on the TV to the audio on this amplifier. I had to convert the two RCA jacks to a 9mm jack so I could use an iPad a the music source.

The only thing I can think of is possibly a bad (or even an incomplete) connection with the input jack. Otherwise the stereo output should respond exactly as the audio is panned. Have you tried plugging it into any other device? If so, and you get the same problematic results, chances are then they are indeed defective. Good luck!
