    Is it possible to hook up a 10" passive subwoofer with 2 satellite speakers to my SMART TV to improve the TV sound quality without adding a soundbar or a pair of computer speakers? If "Yes" how do i go about it and if "No" than what would you suggest please? Thanks!

    Any idea how to get surround sound out of a TV that doesn't have HDMI Arc or Digital Optical out? It has white and red, or coaxial

    • @HomeTheaterHobbyist
      @HomeTheaterHobbyist  Před 5 lety

      Coaxial audio connection is probably the best bet. Once it's connected go into the TV menu and try different audio output settings. Hope this helps.

    • @HomeTheaterHobbyist
      @HomeTheaterHobbyist  Před 5 lety

      RCA cables only send signal (left /right) to the receiver not power to the speakers. That job is for the amplifiers in the receiver. What receiver are you using?

    • @HomeTheaterHobbyist
      @HomeTheaterHobbyist  Před 5 lety +1

      Go into your TV’s menu , find the audio settings and select “external audio” or something like that. That should make the TV send the audio over your optical cable.

    • @HomeTheaterHobbyist
      @HomeTheaterHobbyist  Před 4 lety

      Hmmmmm, I would try a different HDMI cable as the one you're using maybe damaged.
      If you have a 3.5mm to RCA (red and white) connect the 3.5 mm to your TV and the other end to one of the audio inputs on your receiver like the CD player or phono input. Then select (CD, Phono, or whatever) as an input source on your receiver, turn on the TV (verify the TV is sending an audio signal through that 3.5 mm jack, you may have to check the TV's menu system) and see if you have better volume.

  • @jordanb.1477

    My receiver only has red/white RCA inputs. My TV only has a coaxial option, and the Red/Green/Blue (component) option, and also Red/White (RCA) option--but these five are all collectively labeled (Component IN). Since they're not label component OUT, can I still use a component cable from the TV to my receiver [RGB out from TV into White/Red on receiver]? Will this yield any sound, no sound, or will it mess something up? Thanks!

    • @HomeTheaterHobbyist
      @HomeTheaterHobbyist  Před 3 lety +1

      From what you’ve stated I don’t think you’ll get any TV sound from the speakers attached to the receiver.

    Hi
    I bought a Sony home theater but the center speaker is missing , I connect all the other speakers but I can’t hear the conversation or the dialogue I just hear music and sound effects
    Could that be because of the missing center speaker?

    • @HomeTheaterHobbyist
      @HomeTheaterHobbyist  Před 2 lety +1

      Yes, that's most likely the culprit. If there is a sound menu, try to set it to "Stereo Mode" instead of "Movie Mode" that should give you dialogue in the front left and right speakers.

  • @Boutit031

    Hi, my problem is this: I'm running an Mu7000 Samsung smart TV with digital out and I have a very old Sansui receiver with RCA in ONLY (no out) for video/aux (in) L+R and CD in and Phono in.
    The optical cable I've picked up runs from the digital out in my TV and connects to a digital to analog converter. From the converter I've connected RCA cables to my old receiver via video/aux in.
    I have changed settings on TV to play external speakers and still am not getting audio through my external speakers.
    What am I doing wrong? Short of buying a new receiver with latest ports, what can I do to get audio from external speakers? Is there a box or cable I can buy?
    Thanks in advance!
    P.S. I have an xbox one and HD decoder as well which have additional ports.

    • @HomeTheaterHobbyist
      @HomeTheaterHobbyist  Před 5 lety +1

      First of all wow! You've created a great solution to get audio from your TV to your receiver. 👍🏾
      Your setup sounds like it should work perfectly. At this point I would check each part in the chain to make sure it works. The DAC is the main thing I'd look at but check all the components. The one component that will be hard to check is the digital out on your TV if that's bad you really have no way of knowing. Heck if you have a buddy that has a receiver with a digital optical cable ask them if they can bring it to test the connection on your TV.
      Once you've verified everything works and you're still not getting audio then I'll look into upgrading. The good news is there are excellent deals in the new & used receiver market if you have to go that route. If it were me I'd pick up the cheapest receiver with HDMI from someone local on a Craigslist type app (Offer Up and Let Go are two that come to mind) or a garage sale.
      Sorry I'm not more helpful but I can't think of anything more than what you've done.
      Let me know what happens I'm really curious how you resolve this.

As I understand if put 5.1 movie in dvd connected to tv it will only send it with 2 channels to home theatre. So there will be no 5.1 effect. Is there any possibility to add some device or something to my old home theatre to make it send full 5.1 channels?

      Does it have a digital optical output? If so use that connection to connect to your AV receiver/integrated amp. Then choose that source. If it has RCA audio out then use that connection to connect to your AV receiver/integrated amp. Then choose that source. Hopefully this helps!

    Got a question.I have a av receiver with no hdmi port and I want too hook it to my epson 2045 cinema projector So I can have the home theatre surround sound setup.What cables do I need?
    The projector has hdmi, rca video/audio ports and audio out.
    Would I just need audio cables going from the receiver to the projector?

    • @HomeTheaterHobbyist
      @HomeTheaterHobbyist  Před 5 lety

      I assume your source device is a DVD /Blu-ray player. For video use the projector's video out to your receiver. For audio take the audio (RCA) from your DVD /Blu-ray and plug that into your receiver. Then select the correct video out on your receiver menu and audio in on the receiver menu.

    • @a_dose_of_reality1399
      @a_dose_of_reality1399 Před 5 lety

      Great information.This is all new to me and so that I don't screw anything up I've decided to just get an av receiver with Hdmi ports.Didn't know about Hdmi before I started trying to build my setup.
      Now Hdmi will give me true surround sound that I can't get with rca cables right? and they handle everything: video/audio all in one right? And I just simply plug one hdmi cable from my projector to the receiver and another from the blue player to receiver and I'm all good correct?

    • @HomeTheaterHobbyist
      @HomeTheaterHobbyist  Před 5 lety

      Yes HDMI will give you both audio and video over 1 cable. The latest cables HDMI 2.0a support all the latest 4k and audio formats so you should be good to go for years to come. Thanks for stopping by to watch and comment!

      Well, does your receiver have Coaxial IN as an input option? If so, use that. If not, you may need to go the Digital/Analog Audio converter route. There are a ton of them on ebay, Amazon, etc. It helps to know what model your receiver is.
