Im having an issue with this. I contacted Sony and they told me to hook up my: Bluray &gt; HDMI &gt; TV Bluray &gt; Optical Cable &gt; Home Theater Home Theater &gt; HDMI &gt; TV When i play my dvds on my home theater i get the full surround sound, BUT when i play my blurays i dont. I get the same sound from my front right speakers and my right rear speakers (same thing for the left side). Does anyone have a solution? or having these same issues? My Equipment: Sony Bravia KDL46V5100, Sony HDX589w Home Theater, Samsung P3600 BluRay Player

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.

I have this system connected to a PS3, so it's the same. There's no HDMI pass through on the Sony Bravia which complicates hook-up and you'll need to get a digital output cable and connect it between your PS4 and the Sony Bravia. Then use an HDMI cable between your PS4 and monitor / TV. You'll then have to enable the Digital Output in the PS4 configuration, then set the Sony Bravia in the TV/Cable mode to receive the audio. Works fine. Great value.

Hi Dennis,Try pressing the test tone button on the remote, and see if your getting sound from all speakers. Also, did you use the RCA cables from the BD player to the Onkyo? ( one for each speaker ) Don't forget to choose the right format from the Blu-ray disk ( Dolby truehd / DTS HD master audio ) If your still having a problem, let me know..I can probably walk you through a little more detail.Tom

Yes I believe soThe unit has a L/R rca jacks so if your blu-ray player has rca outputs it should be possible

Hi Ken,Did you try it? Did it work? I want to run the Bluray player or TV HDMI sound out to RCA in to my stereo to get more sound out of my tv.Martha

It depends on what supporting systems you have. I have the Sony Bravia 3D Audio and Disc player. Once plugged into the system all I need is an HDMI cable and an Internet connection for related updates and access internet sites.

Thanks, I ordered the cables but now I'm not sure how to hook it up to my 6.1 Sony receiver. All the rear jack labels match but I have one conflict:The Sony DVD has 2 surround back but my receiver has one. I am currently using the receiver to mix the extra info to the rear (5.1) as I don't have any physical back speakers. If I set the DVD player to 5.1 & omit the cable, will I lose any info? I know it sounds confusing but I just want to make sure the player will send the info to the available speakers.

Yes. I am hooked up to a Sony Blu-Ray surround sound system. The TV is more than incredible!

Hello Richard. Don't panic!!! I finally got mine to work. In order to play 3D movies, ALL your devices (including the receiver) should 3D capable and the firmware should be updated. In my case, the blu-ray player is connected to a receiver and then to the 3D TV. After a lot of time chatting with sony tech people, they sent me the upgrade for the reciever (which is a very complicated process, by the way) and everything worked fine. After that, I haven't had any problems. Hope this will help you.

Yes it is compatible to hook up to surround sound. The LG BP540 has only one audio output. It's a coaxial or coax digital. It's best if you use a dedicated cable made for this, but a well shielded RCA cable can do in a pinch. The other way is pass through the HDMI from the player to the receiver and back out to the television, assuming your surround sound system has such input and output. Finally, there are no analog outputs on this player, and it must be said that this is standard for most blu-ray players. Supports up to 5.1 surround, maybe 7.1 but I don't have that kind of system.

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.

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.

Hi Ferah, Sony BDVE570 Home Theater System Speakers are all wired at the back of the Blu-ray Player. -Vincent

You need to connect via hdmi. Ensure that the appropriate soundtrack is selected on the dvd. Often hdaudio track is track1 or 2, selected by triangle on ps3 once movie playing. Not sure using other players. Hd audio lights should come on front panel when you have it working. Ps3 also has to be set to bitstream I think... obviously the blu ray has to have a trueHD soundtrack too. Try The Matrix blu ray as it defo has one.
