What would be the correct way to connect this to a HD Surround Sound Reciever and a HDTV?

All I did was, run the whole 'operation' by utilizing a BlueRigger High Speed HDMI 6.6 ft cable with ethernet which supported the 3D and audio return. I just connected them to the appropriate slots/openings both on the Vizio 3D 65' HDTV and the Sony surround sound product. Other than that, simply nothing! And it is functioning like a dream with robust, quality sound. Hope this helps. OFK.

Simply connect an HDMI cablefrom the "audio/video out" of the cable box or receiver into the appropriate "audio/video in" slot at the back of the Sony sub-woofer. Then connect another HDMI cable from the "audio/video out" from the sub-woofer to the "video in" slot on the HDTV. HDMI supports both picture and sound. There is also a slot for a DVD player on the back of the sub-woofer. Just plug the DVD player video out into this slot using an HDMI cable and nothing else is required. Use high speed HDMI cables when playing Blu-Ray or 3D movies. In fact 3D won't work without them.

You need to connect your TV and the Speakers to a Receiver so you can have the Surround Sound effects.

Honestly, buy a new receiver. You need this, and then you can continue using the speakers you have. Trying to do this any other way is not a good idea, and will end up costing you the same amount of money and continued frustrations on lack of HDMI inputs and outputs.

I'm not sure if you're asking like you want to watch your TV thru the surround sound or you want to hook up another component either way if you run it through RCA's and run itthrough the auxiliary it works fine

Yes buy a receiver with multiple HDMI inputs. That way you can connect all your accessories (cable box, blu-ray player, game consoles, etc) directly to the receiver, which will be connected to the surround speakers.

Contact the seller first then amazon if you get no satisfactory response, I have had less than stellar results but only because I am using it with a non HD receiver.

Kevin is right. But as an option I ran the HDMI from DVD to receiver with HDMI pass through feature. Receiver extracted audio from HDMI and converter handles video. This way I got surround. I didn't use the stereo only audio out of the converter.

I was going to use a preamp but saw a video for installation. The preamp interfered with the signal. So I am not using a preamp. Watch YouTube brian shaw's, how to install two hdtv antenas. That will give you a better idea.

I'm not familiar with your specific components but if your tv has an HDMI output connected to the receivers HDMI input you should have HD video and digital audio going from the tv to the receiver through the HDMI cable.

1 usually will suffice. The 2nd one is audio only in case your receiver does not support hdmi 4k. Unless you have a 4k device, the 1 cable will be enough.

Hi Eddie.I use a Western Digital Live TV and a Set Top Box. Both connect via HDMI, and both sources have their audio duplicated and sent through the analogue headphone/speaker port. I connect PC speakers to that port and it works great.Greg

Make sure your: 1) Cables are plug in and secure from the tv to the receiver. (RCA, HDMI, Coax..etc) 2) You pressed the right command Aux, tv, dvd..etc from the receiver. You might have tried all this but from here its all i can advised you.Me personally have a HDMI and Coax cable hooked from the receiver to my TV and it sound great.

I don't think that should be a problem, but it might be kinda tight. FYI, there are newer HDMI cables out there that are significantly thinner than standard cables that would make things easier. Also, you mention speaker wires which leads me to believe that you are using a receiver with your set-up. If so, and if it does HDMI switching, you can eliminate all but one HDMI cable going to you TV.

I didn't have any problem getting audio from the two RCA outputs...how do you have it hooked up?

Like Peter said, not all TV's bridge the sound from an hdmi in to a stereo out(digital/coax etc..) Try using a different output port, or going hdmi to the stereo, and then hdmi to the tv

I believe it to be true and originally ran HDMI to the TV (DirecTV HD-DVR and PS3) and then optical audio out to my receiver. The sound just didn't "pop" out and then I read the TV manual on a whim and couldn't believe that the output only is in 2-channel. I later read somewhere that it is intentional for copyright reasons. Unfortunately, my Surround Sound Receiver also has an annoying limitation whereby it switches HDMI but does not extract the audio from the HDMI connection. So, the workaround for me was to connect the HDMI (for video only) to the TV, keep the TV volume at zero, and connect the digital audio sources from the components to the receiver (which only has two optical audio inputs.) The sound and audio were offset but most good receivers will let you adjust to get them back in-sync.

I am guessing you have a smart/web connected TV and you want the sound to come from the receiver. Check if your TV has an audio output either digital/optical . Look at your TV settings . I am guessing the TV has multiple HDMI ports. How would the TV know where to send the output ?
