How do I connect my Bravia KDL42W805ABU to DAV-S888?

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Mon, 20 May 2013 18:57:34 GMT

My new Bravia KDL42W8 doesn't have an S Video scart socket, so I am not sure how to connect the DAV-S888 compact AV system. Connecting with the Scart socket just gives a black/white picture. Do I need to get some component out jacks?

Sony STR-DH820

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Sun, 19 May 2013 11:39:02 GMT

Hi, I have got a Sony STR-DH820 AVR, a Sony BDP S370 BD player, Sony Bravia KDL46EX713 TV and a Humax Freesat HDR and Harman/Kardon 5.1 speaker system. All devices are connected to the AVR via HDMI 1.4a ver cables, I have no fibre optic cable connected. For a year now, everything has been excellent with HD video and Dolby/DTS sound with the different versions automatically selected by the AVR.

Even when standard TV signal is broadcast in Dolby 5.1, the AVR picks this up through the HDMI cable.

Just recently though, I was streaming music videos from my pc through the BD player and the info on the file playing was DTS NEO 6 soundtrack but my AVR was only receiving a LPCM signal.

This has made me think, should I have a fibre optic cable connecting my BD player to the AVR and also one from the AVR to my TV?

This has not been a problem before as I earlier stated that I can enjoy True Dolby HD sound through any of the connected HDMI's.

Could this just be a bad file where the DTS NEO 6 soundtrack has been lost in the conversion to avi format and been replaced by LCPM soundtrack?

Any help in this matter would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks

Shaun

No HDMI video - STR-DH510

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Thu, 09 May 2013 15:08:39 GMT

I've just got my hands on the STR-DH510. It's a great looking piece of kit.

I am trying to connect my Playstation3 and SKY HD box through the HDMI of the STR-DH510. I am connecting to a Toshiba LCD HD TV. Plugging the PS3 and SKY box directly into the TV works fine. I don't get anything on the TV display if I try to run it all through the STR-DH510 using the same cables. I have tried it in all 3 HDMI ports on the TV to no avail. Is there somewhere that I can select the input to be HDMI for the BD and SAT/CAT inputs? I've read the manual from cover to cover three times and have not missed anything in the setup.

Thanks for your help

Cheers

BDV-N9100W set with AV receiver

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Tue, 07 May 2013 13:37:42 GMT

I am making my new home theater and I am going with an 7.2 AV reciever. When i was looking for speaker choices I a was impressed with the design (and hope performance like other sony speakers) of the BDV-N9100W set. Is there any way of getting only the speakers of the BDV-N9100W + the rear speakers of BDV-N8100W + extra woofer for a full 7.2 set?

The reason I am going for a AV reciever and not just BDV-N9100W is so i can connect all my devices on it and because i don't wan't to downgrade to 5.1 after 9 years of my gigaworks 7.1.

Also is there any reason why this setup is not good?

Sony STR-DN1030 Network Menu Not coming

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 11:44:33 GMT

Hi All,

I am new member to this forum. I recently purchased sony STR-DN1030. I am using the receivers display for menu and put off GUI menu mode. But the problem is whenever I go to menu, I can see all the menu's except Network menu (i.e. from HDMI next is System not Network). Can anyone help How I will find it on receivers display?? Is there any thing required from setting perspective. Another thing is when I connected the wired LAN it is working in home network mode and also I got the "Update" notification. Note: I don't have TV for few days so using gui mode.

I want to update the framework but I am not able to do with this. I tried reset also. It is not helping me. Waiting for your answers.

Airplay volume on str dn 1030

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 17:49:21 GMT

Anyone had experinces of very loud playback via airplay on the 1030

I literally cannot go above about 7 on the volume on my amp

very small increments on the volume control both on iphone and ipad gives huge increase in output

Also applies when using volume control via the amp

Concern is that someone connecting with music set to half way on there device will literally blow the speakers

Cheers

DIvX codecs supported by DAV-DZ660 ?

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 04:58:53 GMT

I have created a Data DVD (16x R+) with 3 DivX files. My DAV-DZ660 plays the viedeos without problems but it will not play the end of the files ? Instead it jumps to the next video.The files DOES include the end of the films since they can be played on a PC.

The amp DOES play normal DVD films an I am fully satiesfied...but it't a bit strange that onlyu the DivX files cant be played in their full lenght.Sony DK support has asked my to try to reset to factory settings. I have tried that - but no luck :

BDV-N790W - Centre Speaker Issues

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 19:15:22 GMT

Hi,

I have the BDV-N790W. My centre speaker doesn't work on either TV or blu-ray.
When I go into sound settings to test/calibrate all the speakers - the centre speaker works perfectly along with the 2xfront speakers and 2xrear wireless speakers and subwoofer....but the centre speaker won't work after that.
I have tried a few blu-rays (that have a proper 5.1 soundtrack)and made sure I have selected the 5.1/7.1 soundtrack but still no sound through the centre speaker.

Has anyone experienced this or could offer me any tips or settings to try?
Many Thanks,

Chris

Bravia remote to manage HT-CT260

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:24:20 GMT

Hi, I have recently installed a HT-CT260 sound bar for my Bravia KDL-40HX750 and it works well using the optical cable. I have disabled the TV speakers to allow the sound solely through the HT sound bar. I would like to be able to use the sound functions on the Bravia remote (RM-ED047) to manage the sound on the HT-CT260. However, the only volume function it now supports is the headphone output. Can I reconfigure the TV remote to allow it to manage the relevent functions on the HT-CT260 as my Sky remote was able to do previously for the TV volume? Getting the Sky remote to operate the HT-CT260 volume function as well would be a bonus.

Cant get sound from my console through my Sony cinema system.

Bravia TV doesn't stay connected to Audio System

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 15:38:50 GMT

I have recently purchase an LG 3D/Bluray 5.1 audio system which works fine as a stand alone blu ray player. However when trying to use the sound system as a hub for all my TV audio I'm having trouble connecting.

I understand that after connecting a HDMI and Digital Optical Cable from the Sound System to my Bravia TV all audio that goes from any system into the TV should now come out of the Sound System?

I enable the audio system by going into the XMB > Settings > Sound > Speakers > Audio System.

The audio system works for about 15 seconds and then an error message pops up: "'TV Speakers active due to audio system commmucation error"

I have connected other devices direct to the sound system using an optical cable and they work fine, which leads me to belive it is the TV that is where my issue is.

My Equipment:

Sony Brava 32" KDL-32EX403

LG 5.1 BH6620S Audio System

Sony Soundbar HT-CT260 Connection to TV

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 10:57:38 GMT

Hi,

I just purchased a Sony Soundbar (Model HT-CT26) and I am trying to conenct it to my Philips 47" LCD TV (Model 47PFL5522D).

The user manual advises me to connect the soundbar to the tv with the supplied Digital Optical Cord. However I've just come up against a problem. This TV doesn't have an Optical Digital Audio output! It seems to have every other type of outlet, including HDMI x 2, Scart x 2, CVBS/S-Video, Audio In.

Unfortunately, the Soundbar doesn't have an HDMI outlet.

Any suggestions on how to get around this and connect up the soundbar??

Projector Wireless Connection Problem

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 11:32:43 GMT

I'm installing a Sony VPL-EX275 projector, with a USB wireless module. When I install the network presentation software onto my laptop (windows vista), everything works fine. When I install the software onto my clients laptop (windows xp version 2002 Service Pack 3), when I launch the software and the 'Network Presentation Connection Setting' window appears, the wireless LAN adapter list box is greyed out. I can't then search for the wireless LAN I need to connect to.

Any ideas why the 'Wireless LAN Adapter' list box is greyed out. The laptop has a wireless card, and connects the the client wireless router no problem.

Bdv-n590 constantly re-setting

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 22:09:16 GMT

I have just set up my new BDV-N590 cinema system, however it keeps re-starting every 1 minute or so. I have it set up with my Sky +HD box and LG TV as follows:

N590 HDMI 1 IN - Sky HDMI socket

N590 HDMI OUT - TV HDMI ARC IN

N590 Optical Audio In - Sky Optical Audio out

I have also set up with the Sky +HD box connecting directly to the TV via HDMI, and using the optical cable from the Sky to N590, however I was unable to get sound from the rear speakers.

I have updated to the latest firmware, and re-set all factory settings. Still no luck. It even restarted 1/2 way though the setup process (during calibration of speakers)

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you

Why no AV Receiver remote app for UK app store?

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 22:18:32 GMT

I have a STR-DA5600ES receiver and want to use the AV Reciver remote app for it but it is not on the UK app store only on the US app store and even if I get round that I'm not sure it even works on the UK 5600, all the other newer apps are there for the UK for the slightly later models like the ES Remote app but not the https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id371425035?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D4 app for the 5600.

Help why isn't this available for UK? and will the USA app run the UK model?
