If you are connecting your TV to your blue ray player using HDMI cable, then that is the best way to go. Otherwise you'll have to use the traditional component stereo cables.

There is a time-delay option in the receiver (I have an Onkyo). I typically have to set that at 50ms for BluRay DVDs, and about 20ms for other DVDs. With this delay, the sound matches the lips on the picture.

Im having an issue with this. I contacted Sony and they told me to hook up my: Bluray &gt; HDMI &gt; TV Bluray &gt; Optical Cable &gt; Home Theater Home Theater &gt; HDMI &gt; TV When i play my dvds on my home theater i get the full surround sound, BUT when i play my blurays i dont. I get the same sound from my front right speakers and my right rear speakers (same thing for the left side). Does anyone have a solution? or having these same issues?

most dvd players has a hdmi connector at the back, so simply take your hdmi cable out from back of your cable box or satellite box and plug it to your dvd

Depending on what you're hooking up, cables included suffice for DVD/Blu-Ray player. I wanted anything coming through cable box (regular TV) to come through soundbar, as well, so had to buy/add an Optical cable also. Get it from Amazon--about 1/2 the cost of electronic stores!

I don't know what you're asking but Display port & HDMI can carry sound. DVI can not

The DVI to HDMI conversion doesn't transfer sound. Other option would be to connect speakers for sound as the ones on monitor are not loud at all.

No one seemed to mention you can buy a $20 signal amplifier and an extra coaxial cable at Radio Shack and you should get a little better quality TV. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2463965&cp;=2032057.2032187.2032189.2032207&parentPage;=familyThese where all over my house back in analog days.HDMI is the way to go for the DVD issue. Upconverting DVD players sell for as low as $40 on slickdeals and HDMI cables are a couple of bucks on monoprice

Alright, thanks for answering! I think I'll have to get a hdmi to vga converter to at least have the picture in HD then buy a bluray player later on.

I have played with a third party software, Blu ray movies. So it should also play DVD movies too.

The speakers require amplification which very few DVD players provide. You'll need some sort of amplifier (such as a receiver) to use them. Make sure the receiver you get has at least 5.1 channel amplification (as opposed to only stereo). I would ask around in a forum dedicated to audio/home theater such as avsforum.com (search the forum to see if others have already asked and been answered).

I am fuming also! Where is the Blue Ray or HD DVD player that won't obsolete my collection high definition audio disks? I want something that includes DVD-Audio, SACD, and HDCD.

DVI doesn't send sound like HDMI. Have to have external speakers hooked directly up to the source. Had the same exact issue, unfortunately had to get a cheap pair of external speakers.

You need a stereo receiver. Amazon has a number of them for sale for under $200. I would go with a Yamaha or a Sherwood. If music sound is what you mainly want, I strongly suggest you integrate your receiver and speakers into your tv system - there are any number of ways to do that. That way you can hear your tv AND music through the speakers, by using your dvd/bluray to play your music. Also, if you upload your cd's into ITunes (make sure you edit your "preferences" to MP3), you can then burn mp3 cd's in data format to play in your dvd player. Those cd's will give you a great sound and over 10 hours of continuous music. Then you can ditch the Sony cd player, which will only play one audio cd at a time. You need a stereo receiver.

Most DVD/Blu-Ray players don't have audio video inputs, only outputs. It would have to be a combination Blu-Ray and receiver.

I don't think you have to. Set the tuner to DVD/Blue Ray and you should have sound. You do need external speakers connected.

with this particular sound system, you have to hook the receiver up to the TV via HDMI, then hook your blu ray player up to your TV via HDMI, and then run an optical digital audio cable from your TV to the sound receiver. there aren't enough HDMI inputs/outputs to hook everything up via the receiver. hope this helps.
