Can I hook this player up to my 8 yr old Panasonic Home Surround System Model # SC-HT740?They told me to hook it up to video in,but TV is there now.

Does the sc-ht740 has digital/optical in ? If so connect the optical/digital out from dmpbdt330 to sc-ht740 has digital/optical in.. This will take care of audio to sc-ht740 and speakers should sound. Connect hdmi out from dmpbdt330 to TV hdmi in and this will take care of video. All the systems should be powered on to see the audio and video.

if this is the silver colored SC-HT740, probably not as most everything on the back is an out. there are not any inputs i see. now depending on your t v, if it has an audio out in to this system and an hmdi in on tv you may be able to use it by going to the t v first and sending the sound out the audio cables. you will loss a little on the sound but you are already if you are running your t v through it now.

I just did that very thing. My Samsung Home Theater is also HDMI 1.4 ready so I hooked it up with just the main output from the Panasonic and everything worked just fine, but I keep reading that it's still better to use two cables with the video turned off the (Sub) output. My TV is a LG 3D LED Smarty but it has only one HDMIARC input so I naturally I put the main Panasonics output there. I put the out put from my A/V machine to the HDMI2 hole. That should do it. I haven't tried it yet. I have a brand new copy of "Johnny Depp's Alice in wonderland". I'll let you know how it works.

Are you going through the component outputs? The player only upconverts through the HDMI cable if I understand it correctly. Has something to do with the copyright protection. Switch to HDMI if you can. Goodluck!

Thanks for your question. This should pass the audio and video from your PC or a ROKU or similar decive and pass it to your video display and your speakers. This is a fantastic sounding receiver. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Denon dealer.

I had the same problem but solution was to by a new 3d blue ray Player (Panasonic) with 2 hdmi OUT. assign 1 for TV out the other for audio out only (this connects to your 876) and you're ready to watch 3d with full audio advantage. no need to upgrade AV-receiver since the 876 sounds amazing.

Mine works also, I've tried it with HDMI and component using RCA audio cables. Bad thing is the player only outputs 480p? i? not sure through component if your using HDMI at the same time. My LG player doesn't do that..

You will have to "assign" the component being used as a component input (explained in the manual). It will do component and analog, like your older dvd player, cd player, ect. No s-video. It will play it through the hdmi, but the receiver will not convert the signal to hd.

If you have an "old" reciever that uses RCA inputs you will need a NeweR reciever that utilizs a HDMI cable. I said the same thing, then bought a newer reciver 3 years ago . hope this helps.

Not sure, but if you run the hdmi cable from the player into the TV there should be no issue. Take another interface like coax from the player into the receiver. The VSX is a great sounding unit and a well thought out design

Wow, bless your heart. I spent hours on the phone with Sony and Panasonic only to be spinning my wheels. Ended up returning my soundbar. Perhaps Radio Shack might be able to help you out. Sorry, I'm not much help. I wish you well.

Can you please explain this? I have been using a tv from 1995 and use a co-axial cable to hook it up. I am not familiar with HDMI cable, so if this is the only type that plugs into the tv, how can I hook the other end up to my cable box and DVD player? The cable box is newer so may be compatible, but the DVD player is fairly old as well. I don't want to buy a tv that I can't use my DVD player with. Thank you!

where did u find the panasonic player, because the sony 3d player is not working,i keep getting a invalid format signal

if you unplugged it and plugged it back on, and nothing positive happens.....throw it out! panasonic makes garbage dvd players. it is not the panasonic of the past. i keep 5 dvd players in the house, cause i am a movie buff., and in the past i've had all panasonic players. those days are over. i have one panasonic player left and that hiccups every eight minutes on recordable discs. on your problem, maybe you can contact panasonic.com or call them and they can send you, or you can download their software update. it didnt work for me, but it might work for you. if mechanically inclined, and not under warranty....you can take off the cover, unscrew the carriage cover and remove the disc. also sometimes, if the disc is not in the slot correctly., it could jam up, and shut itself off. my dmp-bd871 played well for 4 months, and now it will not accept any disc. i will admit, that before it went kaput, it had the best picture of any other player i've had................irene

You can connect it to older sets using analog stereo audio cables (red & white RCA plugs) and either composite (yellow RCA plug) or component (green, red & blue RCA plugs) video cables. If all you have is coaxial in on the TV set, you will need to get an RF modulator. You will need to adjust the output of the Blu-Ray player and will get no better picture than a standard DVD.

I have the same problem! Did you get it worked out. If so HOW??? I wonder if my AV receiver is too old.

gojo Well, I can tell you that I talked to Panasonic and you will have to hard player to something in order for it to go online. You will need an ethernet adapter with LAN cable. This is what you would use to play games, so they are called internet wireless bridge, or adapter bridge. Just make sure you can use a LAN cable with it since there are no other options on player. Check out other threads concerning this too. They mention types of adapters to use. Val

The cable box should have the cord you need to connect from whatever it was connected to before. If this is the first time to connect to your cable box, yeah, you will need a co-axial cable. What I did was connect the cable box co-axial cable to the TV itself. Then I had to tell the TV to search for channels. But I don't think the Panasonic Blu-Ray/DVD player has a co-axial cable connection. I did have to use a HDMI cable to connect the player to the TV, and a Lan Line is needed to connect from the internet-cable modem to the player. So yeah, which ever connection you use, you will probably have to buy an additional cable. Either co-axial to connect your TV to cable, or a Lan-Line to connect the player to the internet.
