Sony Bluray / TV -> Cambridge TV2 V2 - No audio from DVD

[Alistair1425]

Hi All,

Having recently treated myself to a new Soundbar for an enhanced cinema experience, I'm a little stuck with the audio when when playing DVDs.

i.e. I have no sound when playing DVDs (DVD->TV->Soundbase), whereas images are appearing fine on the TV.

Note: the sound works fine when viewing cable TV (Cable Decoder->TV->Soundbase)

My equipment is as follows:

• 
  Sony TV KDL-42W805B
  Sony Bluray Player BDP-S4100
  Cambridge TV2 V2 Soundbase
  Cable Decoder (VOOcorder)

The connections are as below:

• 
  Cable Decoder->TV HDMI cable (plugged into HDMI in 3)
  Bluray->TV HDMI cable (plugged into HDMI in 4)
  TV->Soundbase TV Optical Out to Soundbar Optical In

TV Speaker settings - set to external speakers

I'm a little clueless when it comes to which signals can be passed via which cables, so would be very grateful for any assistance.

Many thanks in advance,

Alistair

Your hookup seems fine.
Try changing the audio output type in the DVD menu. It may not be compatible with the Cambridge Soundbase.

Hi - Thanks very much for the reply.

Tried playing around with the BluRay PLayer options, and changed the Audio Output from "Auto" to "PCM". Worked a treat. Now able to enjoy my DVDs with more impressive sound through the soundbase.

Has saved me buying some Marcel Marceau DVDs....

Thanks very much.
