how to hook up surround sound

Use the recommended installation of the owners manual for the surround sound system. If you do not have the manual, go to the website of the manufacturer of the system and search for it in the search bar. The manufacturer will provide a copy of the manual usually in a PDF format

Using RCA jacks, simply plug in the red and white males into the TV's "Audio Out" females in the rear of the TV, not in the side panel where you hook up gaming devices, etc. I then figured out through trial and error how to kill the internal speakers (look through the set-up menu from the ProScan remote and see if there's an audio control there). It may be as simple as moving the TV's volume to zero then only use the aftermarket sound systems volume controller. Good luck.

I am also using HDMI but you can also. Use ROC jacks for sound from your DVD or blue ray to put sound straight to your surround sound system and then turn off the sound on the progecter

It's all hard wires to this unit. Buy a set of sound bar. It works with the sound bar via optical cable.

There are audio out jacks on the back of the monitor. I simply ran a wire to my stereo amplifier. I believe you can plug in a speaker bar if you prefer that. (or don't have a hifi system)

Yes, you can plug an audio source into the transmitter via the 3.5mm port but you will only get analog stereo, not surround sound. For surround sound you need to use digital optical.

If I am watching a channel on my TV, how does the audio get to the surround sound system? Through HDMI or through Optical Audio? Do I need to connect an HDMI Imput cable? Thanks.

I used an audio receiver with capable surround sound. Connected tv with digital audio cable. Bought a powered sub-woofer. Great sound. So happy with price vs performance.

I have my surround sound hooked up through the colored AV cords. I plug the white and red into the surround sound and the yellow into the projector.

I would like this answer also. I hooked my up to a toslink convertor an no sound came out of the sound bar. Any help?

Um, yeah that's a good question. I'm not saying u can't do it bit Not aware of a way to make the device work w/o going through my surround sound either. Honestly, even though I bought the device, sadly I came across the same thing and ended up not using it. However, you might be able to run optical out of th cable box and try that way. I'm really sorry I'm not much help but understand the frustrations

Depends on the speakers. If your speakers plug into a speaker port on the back of the computer make sure you plug the speaker wire into the green port. Some systems have as many as 6 ports for surround sound but the normal speaker port out is green. If you are using USB speakers you may need a driver for them. You would want to check the website that sells or manufactures the speakers. Good Luck

Hi Miranda,Being a DVD player only (and not a surround system/DVD combo), you only have the standard digital output (coax style, NOT optical) and the red/white RCA outputs. You would need to purchase an amplifier to hook your speakers to after using the 2 outputs I just described. What model is your old Philips? If I can look that one up, I can probably give you an even better answer.Mike

You can try to connect it to your sound card with compatible ends or connect directly to speakers with speaker wire. I just use the RCA jack for my surround sound system.

Use a 3.5MM to 2 RCA cable from the speakers to the L and R aoudio out on the back of the TV.

Use the optical connector. Our takes the sound from the tv back to the unit

Read the directions that come with the subwoofer . Should tell you all the ways to hook it up there

The soundbar has multiple inputs....optical, coax and RCA so you should be able to hook up just about anything.
