Let me begin by saying I truly dislike hooking up and dealing withAudio video equipment because it is SO difficult for me. Well, after reading this forum I went to the store and bought (2) HDMI cords and I already had a Sony AVR (STR-DG510) with DTS Dolby Digital.
All of my components are hooked up to my receiver using RCA jacks except for my CD player which I used the 2nd HDMI cord for.
Components include;
Sylvania DVD player
JVC VCR
Sony CD Player
Antenae rotating box
I connected all of my speakers (6) including my sub.
and I hooked an HDMI cord "OUT" from my receiver to the "IN" to my "TCL" flat screen TV.
It is NOT a 'smart' TV and has no audio outs but I was so hoping this would work. It did not however and my family and I had to watched another (2)movies with mediocre (at best) sound from the Tv speakers
Can somebody please tell me where I went wrong?
Must I have a digital optical out in order for it to work?
I don't have an optical cord and I'm not even certain my AVR has one of them.
I too will REALLY appreciate help getting this resolved.
Many thanks!
