Solved! Trying to connect old Sony surround sound system to new LG Smart TV.

[shagann96]

Hi there. I have an old Sony surround sound system/DVD player. The model is DAV-DZ230. The connections on the back of this amplifier are HDMI (for DVD only) and SCART.

I've just replaced an old LG plasma screen with a new LGUJ63. The old TV had a SCART connection, so connecting the amplifier to it and having surround sound through DTV was simple (just using SCART-SCART).

Although, this newer LGUJ63 doesn't have a SCART input, only HDMI and component.

I've tried using a SCART to composite but I can't get any audio whatsoever. I've tried changing the sound output settings on the LG with no luck. When I connect the component cable to the TV it acknowledges it by showing "AV x3" on the screen.

When I first set the TV up I set it up using cable, not a set top box or satellite.

If I change the Sony amplifier to Tuner FM/AM, then that audio will play through the surround sound no problem.

I'm thinking there is an easy fix here that I'm missing?

Summary

Sony DAV-DZ230

• 
  HDMI (DVD only)
  SCART

LGUJ63

• 
  HDMI
  Component AV (RWRBG)

Thanks folks, hopefully this is clear and detailed enough to get a possible solution.

So both pieces have HDMI, so use HDMI, that's the best connection available anyway, what stops u from considering using this connector?
