What is your signal source, antenna, cable, satellite? if off antenna, you need opitcal or Coaxial cable from TV Out. Or you need opitical or coaxial for cable or satellite. Page 26 and 32 of manual explains well.

Can you still hear the sound through the TV as well as the wireless speakers. I would like to hear the sound from both, and it is unclear whether using the speakers stops the sound coming out of the TV too? I see that when you use the headphone jack, the sound does stop coming out of the TV. But when you use the RCA plug, does that change anything and allow the sound to come from both?

I connected to a receiver which is run to the TV. Also had to buy a center speaker and woofer to complete the surround sound system.

Just got the 820. Had the same issue, wanted to just listen to the tv when watching satellite. Simply connected a optical cable from sat box to the 820, hit SIGNAL SEL on receiver remote until 02 (optical 2 input, there are two). Now I can listen to the tv or turn on the receiver and get theater sound.

The sony TV has an option of switching between the TV and Audio system speakers. I use that feature. Also, as you said, when I turn on my TV, the HTS turns on. So that works for me. As far as electricity is concerned, as long as the amplifier is not working, the electricity used should be minimal even though the receiver is on. Am I right?

I have Onkyo TX-SR805 7.1. I also have this hum. I've tries everything under the sun and nothing gets rid of it. I've isolated it to the receiver in a pain staking process of elimination. If anyone has a fix, I would be interested. I have to have to return it, because otherwise it is awesome. That hum is really beginning to get to my ear drums.

Your receiver should support ARC (Audio Return Channel), make sure it is enable on the receiver. That's how the sound from my over the air tv get's back to the receiver

I have direct TV and I plugged it to the audio on the receiver. I called TV Ears for help

If you are using an HDMI cable from the TV output to the receiver you should have audio through the receiver. I assume that you have multiple inputs that are selected by the receiver and you have selected the input that is connected to the TV. I found that there are different audio configurations in the receiver that need to be selected also. The manual offers a lot of information but for me it's too difficult to understand. Try a different HDMI cable and/or input port to begin with.

I had the exact same problem with this tv. I eventually just muted the TV speakers and ran the sound exclusively through some external speakers that I have. That solved my problem.

I'm also having problems with the sub. It worked initially but now it doesn't. Nothing comes out. I've tried a different cable and different sub so I know its the receiver. Did you ever figure out what was wrong with yours?

Absoultely! I tried using only the built-in speakers in the television itself, but they weren't loud enough to hear and sounded distorted at high volume levels. I purchased oCosmo's sound bar and connected it to the television. The sound is much better and volume is more than adequate.

There is a transmitter and receiver. You must run receiver signal through something (amp) to display/hear it.

Hello,Did you ever figure this out? I just bought this TV last night and I'm very happy with it, but I use a surround sound system and have to keep the TV volume on 0. There should be a way to turn the speakers off - right?Thanks for any info.

No. It is designed to plug into the TV by optical cable so anything that plays on the TV the sound comes out the system. It's actually quite nice. Good luck.

Hi D,Yes. What I did was purchase a few items: 1) an HDMI splitter to split the signal coming from the Receiver: one output goes to the TV, the other goes to to 2) an HDMI converter that converts HDMI to analog. This device has a headphone output which I send to the wireless headphone set. That did the trick.
