Does your blu ray player have the setting for the Audio Out set as Optical Cable. I know my PS3 Has the Video out as HDMI, and Audio Out as Optical. So Basically Same set up as you, but no HDMI from Home Theater to TV as I use my PS3 to play DVD's.

The Problem is this device is a 5.1 chanel home theather and can not support bluray's 7.1 audio streaming via optical cable. Blueray players can decode or bitstream new codecs like Dolby true HD and DTS-MA(mastering audio) using hdmi interface. With optical you can only send 5.1 and below. Depending on the blueray player, you need to go to sound options and set the sound mode to 5.1 . not LPCM,DTS-MA. or any 7.1 streaming audio format. DVD's mostly use dolby digital encoding that can be sent to these 5.1 devices. That is why you don't have the problem when playing DVD,s. You also need to set the sound output mode to optical not HDMI. The Problem is this device is a 5.1 chanel home theather and can not support bluray's 7.1 audio streaming via optical cable.

I got a digital optical cable to hook this Sony unit to my PS3. I set the PS3 audio setting to digital optical but can not get any sound. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? My TV even has a digital optical connection and I don't get any sound from it eitehr. I know the cable is ok because I see the red glow on one end.

There's nothing left but speakers if you don't use the blu-ray.. you need the player to hook up all the speakers and get the desired effect.

Hello Joseph..... I hope this info helps: The back of the Sony BDP-S790 is its most interesting part. Here, you'll find not one but two HDMI outputs, an Ethernet network port, an additional USB port, optical and coaxial digital audio, as well as a set of backup composite audio/video connectors. The BDP-S790 has Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n built in. Sony 3D Blu-ray player Ports on the rear of the BDP-S790, including two HDMI outputs. The dual HDMI output is an interesting feature. Its advantage is in making it possible to connect an A/V receiver or home theatre system with one HDMI port, and using the other port to send an unadulterated HDMI signal to your TV or home theatre projector. If you've got an A/V receiver that won't pass through 3D video, for example, this is a big selling point.

Hi, I am assuming the PS3 plays BD right? I say connect to that HDMI port unless you have the additional BD player. HDMI is audio and video signal combined so it should work wherever you plug it in. Good luck! I love my 920 so far.

I have a Panasonic Blue Ray dmp-br601 playera and a 40" BRAVIA Pro Display KDL40S5100/9 TV. I just purchased the Panasonic. The BR601 will play back a Blue Ray disc properly both video and audio wise. When I play a non Blue Ray disc the audio will drop out every 5 or 10 minutes throughout the entire program. It will then fade in about 30 to 45 seconds later. Very annoying. There seems to be a little bit of audio noise just before the audio drops out. The non Blue Ray disc video will continue to play with no noticable degradation. Hopefully it's just a simple paramater selection in setup? Anybody have any ideas. Thanks.

If you connect a bluray player or video game or even a DVD player, the sound will play out of the built in tv speakers. There isn't an earphone jack on the back of the tv that would allow you to add additional powered speakers. You could however, attach powered speakers to the rca audio out plugs on the player to powered speakers and have additional audio available if wanted. The hdmi does supply audio and video to this tv and if there is sound on the media being played, it will provide sound on this tv.

I hooked it up to the TV. Works OK but no sound in the rear speakers (surround) for regular TV or the online stuff. I wonder if the online stuff would be better (surround, etc.) if plugged into the Blu Ray player. The other annoying thing is I have to use three remotes and have to keep switch the blu Ray to "D in 1" to get any sound from TV/internet.

I would guess that you will need to find a blu-ray player with the needed inputs that support your 7-speaker input. I doubt that the player in this package is available to buy individually, but again, that is just a guess. I have never tried plugging in a different home theater blu-ray player, but I do not see why it wouldn't work. Just my opinion though. Good luck!

I connected it directly to the tv. My my bluray player ran through my tv as well and therefore the bluray sound went to the surround system.

No you can't. This device only handles old style analog coaxial TV signals. Your Blu-ray players audio output is a digital coaxial output.

The sound bar has TWO optical inputs, so just hook up the optical cable from your blu-ray player to the second input. And BTW, your blu-ray player will be connected to your HDTV via an 'HDMI' cable, NOT RCA cables. If you use RCA cables, you will only get standard definition video and audio!!

Could you please be more specific? What if I just go straight from the blu-ray player to my Sony Bravia with a HDMI cable? How does the receiver enter into the mix? I am not seeing any upscaling either.

Need more detail and I am assuming you are talking about the sync between the video and audio. Check your receiver or processor for settings and delays etc. I have two 809's and run thru a Yamaha receiver and a Mcintosh processor and both work great. You also might try running your video cable direct from the Blu-Ray if you currently are using a connection thru your receiver. I am making assumptions here because you did not give much detail or what other equipment is involved.

Can you connect this media port to a modern Blu-ray Home theater system? I am talking about the latest models.

I connected a Blu Ray players HDMI output to the H6510BD's HDMI input.The video was projected on the screen, The H6510BD sent analogue audioto the 3.5mm audio output jack which I connected to some active PC speakers.I have connected my blu ray player's HDMI output to a 7.1 channel home theater receiverthe receiver sent the 7.1 audio to the audio speakers and the HDMI video to the H6510BD.I was never able to get anything beyond standard 2 channel analogue audio from the 3.5 mmaudio out jack.

Look for audio Left and Right channel outputs (red and white) on the back of the TV, if it has them. Some TVs only have inputs like this (not outputs - out will be clearly labelled if you have them), which won't help. If your TV has these outputs, you can connect them to any input on the back of your Sony receiver. However, even then it may not provide sound for sources connected to the TV (Sat, Cable, Disc) which are connected to your TV using HDMI cables. You could try using a headphone output on the TV plugged into the 3.5mm mini-jack on the back of the Sony, which would work with all sources connected to the TV. To try this just order a stereo connection cable with male 3.5mm plugs on each end. You'd have to turn the volume up some on both the TV and Sony receiver until you find the volume setting that gives you enough range to then control with the Sony remote. Another way would be to use RCA out jacks from the Source device itself, whether that is a cable/sat box or disc player. Then you have to switch audio separately from video on the TV, which can be confusing for some. The underlying issue here is that stereo receivers lack HDMI connections, which combine sound and picture with one cable.
