Question No audio on DVDs. I hooked up my Sony DVD player

[dktumey]

I hooked up my Sony DVD player, Directv and a Yamaha receiver to myitsubishi TV. The DVD player and Directv went into the receiver using HDMI cables. Then HDMI cable to the output on the receiver to the input on the TV. Everything works except there is no sound on the DVD player. I changed it to DVD on the Receiver. Any ideas?

If you attach the DVD player directly to the TV, does it produce sound then?

 

[dktumey]

No

If you attach the DVD player directly to the TV, does it produce sound then?

 

[COLGeek]

Then that suggests an issue with the DVD player itself. Did you also have the audio output on the TV set to internal speakers when you tried the DVD player?

 

[dktumey]

No. They are set for the receiver

 

[COLGeek]

No. They are set for the receiver

I get that. The previous recommendation is meant to isolate the problem.

 

[dktumey]

Ok. I'll just get a new DVD player. Thanks for your help!

 

[COLGeek]

My pleasure. Before getting a new one, I would verify that the DVD player is indeed defective, as previously suggested.

 

[dktumey]

I swapped out DVD players from the bedroom and still no sound!

 

[COLGeek]

Connected to the receiver or to the TV (with output to internal speakers)?

 

[dktumey]

I tried both. No sound through the receiver but it does work with the internal speakers. How can I change that?

 

[COLGeek]

That means that the DVD player is producing sound.

What is the model of your receiver?

 

[dktumey]

HTR-8130

HTR-8130

See the note on page 14 of the manual regarding speakers.

There is only a red output on the DVD player.

 

[COLGeek]

Audio signals input at the HDMI jack are not output from any speaker terminals but output from the connected video
monitor.
To enjoy the sound from speakers connected to this unit,
– make an analog or digital connection besides the HDMI connection (see page 16).
– mute the volume of the connected video monitor.

 

[dktumey]

I tried that. Still no sound.

 

[dktumey]

I tried several cables and finally got 1 to work right! Thank you SO much for your help!!!!

 

[COLGeek]

What worked?

My pleasure to help.
