Is a panasonic DVD player also the main system or do you need an additional amp to get home theater sound when watching TV?

Do I have to go to the settings and change audio option or something to watch regular live tv and thr audio out the home theater?

Thank you!

Hello! Thanks for this video. I have a 2009 Sony home theater/DVD system and just bought a 2018 Samsung Smart TV (NU6900) and the ONLY ports the TV has are two HDMI ports (one regular, one ARC), a digital optical cable out, a LAN ethernet connection, a USB connection and an antenna in. That's IT. No old school RCA jacks, no S-video, nothing. SOOO....if I just use the HDMI ARC option and the digital optical, will that be enough? You said you don't NEED both the red/white jacks AND the optical but you'd only get stereo without the optical. But can you do JUST the optical and not the red/white ones? I also have a sound bar with L/R/C channels but I really want surround sound back. I haven't had it in two years since I ditched cable and went TiVo for antenna and streaming (I'll need the other HDMI port for that) and I miss it. I have an optical cable splitter on the way so I can connect both but I probably won't need the sound bar if I can get my home theater working! Can you advise me?

good video. Im ready to go try it !

I have a toshiba tv and Edison professional party system 4000 how do I connect into the TV. I've tried so many things i don't know what missing.

Thanks you so much..

Outstanding ! Easy follow along description . Better than most .

Thank u for your advice. I have connect the hdmi and red and white cable. There is no sound coming from the TV. to the DVD music centre

Yes I need the red and white cable and thanks for the information

I've owned a Panasonic with a bluray- home theatre system since 2010 and to this day I am trying to figure out the optimum connection. The set top box (STB) has an htmi out. The tv has an htmi (ARC). I have the ARC TV OUT going to HTMI 1 in the bluray home theatre sound system. But in order to set up the STB, I have it going to HTMI 2 on the tv (The second HTMI) and the ROKU is in the HTMI 3 on the TV. The sound on the ROKU is considerably lower than the cable. What I can't wrap my head around is , since the STB appears to be bypassing the A/V, the sound does come through. I have choices like Movie, or Music, or Standard, but frankly, except for the speakers each choice chooses, there doesn't seem to be much different. 5.5 and 2.1, as well as 7.1 actually sound worse. Also the only way to adjust the home speaker system is going into the BluRay setting (vs. TV which is just white noise since I have a STB; and Home theatre (which is what I have called the HTMI). Does this all sound correct? Should the STB somehow go into the BluRay Theatre System? Or, does the ARC somehow "hear" the cable that is coming directly into HTMI2 and correct for optimum sound? As I say, I have attempted this for 8 years ... and I still see things like "Unconditional" when I attempt to change the setting for center, for example, or I get lots of sound from the side speakers, but low quality from the center. The instructions are so detailed they are extremely hard to follow and lots of asterisks, it depends, even though the system and tv were bundled. I know it isn't the highest quality sound system but one would think it would work okay. And, at the end of the day, the VIERA has never been set up correctly. I can get to the "SMART TV" window but still have to manually change my INPUT to get back from ROKU or the cable. And, now, since this is so obsolete there is no where anyone actually has info on how to make sure you have both the STB and the A/V bluray set up simultaneously. And, in fact, I can't remember the last time I played a DVD :-) Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I bought a digital optical toslink cable will that allow me to use surround sound of anything on my tv such as normal channels etc?

so if i connect optical and arc cable i will be able to enjoy the full subwoofer surround sound as i am planning to buy one samsung surround dvd player system but i do not watch dvd or an other box just tv to get the full subwoofer surround sound out from my tv to surround will that work and do i need to connect hdmi as well ?

Explained perfectly thanks. Now my question is about smart tvs. I have stereo sound coming out of my reciever until i click the RU-vid or Netflix app on the tv, Then all i get for sound is the crappy sound of the 55 inch speakers. i figure i have to run another pair of of rca sound jacks from tv to reciever.into Audio or video 2.

Will everything plugged into the TV now play through the home cinema system, for example, if you were to plug an Xbox One into the TV, would that audio go through the home cinema system?
