Hello, I have the Philips HTS3440/37 HTiB and I haven't watched dvd's on it yet. I found a dvd I wanted to watch and decided to watch it the other night. So I put the dvd in and went to watch it and a high-pitched sound was coming out of the speakers with the normal movie sounds. I messed around in the settings menu and pushed buttons on the remote but it did not stop it. The regular movie sounds played normally though, even with the weird sound continuosly on still in the background. The only way I figured out on how to stop it was turning off the volume on the player which muted sound but as soon as the volume would be turned up to 1 or more it was hearable again. It doesn't do this for sounds through the tv though, such as ps2. So if there is no fix should I just get another dvd player, hook it up to the tv and run the home theater system though the tv like I usually do without any problems. I also tried a bunch of other dvds too but same thing.
Second question. The wire conected to the speakers goes into an adapter like thingy, now if I ever wanted to switch subs could I ever take out the wires and put them into the sub as long as I marked the positive and negative wires? I mean all systems have the dvd player, a really thick wire that goes to the sub and then the speakers connect to the sub right? Thanks for everyone's time.

anyone?

atleast on the speakers and the high pitched sound with DVD's and if its harmful to the speakers.

Ok I decided to take off the adapter to the home theater system's speaker wire and put it on some speaker wire and attatch another sub to the front right socket on the home theater sub.

So in other words the new sub is attatched to my old sub with the front right speaker attatched to the new sub which in total gives me two running subs :) Now in the long or even short run would ruin my home theater sub or anything in the process? Someone please answer becasue I don't want to ruin anything. The new sub I have hooked up has its own power supply so it shouldn't put a strain on anything right?

Thanks
(edit)-errors

You get what you pay for,I am not an htib lover but some people buy them anyway,
First of all cutting and joining cables and splicing subs up when they are not designed for is an easy way to get a big pile of junk that will fry for sure.
The subwoofer that you mentioned gets connected to a subwoofer preout from an avr or from speaker level outputs from an avr and not the way you want to hook it up, and it is a powered subwoofer that should be connected properly that way it was designed for and not the way you want to,as for the high pitched sound you get from your speakers indicates some bad connection or wrong setting.
What you should do is read the manual and look at the trouble shooting section in the back of it for starters.
as for running audio through the tv that's another bad idea since the avr might be picking up intrference from the tv and that why you have the sound coming out of the speakers,If you have a cble box or sattelite then the video must go directly to the tv and not the reciever ,and then you run the audio outs to the avr's sound input either aux or what ever but it sounds like you might have the tv's coaxial video output going to the recievers coaxial digital "audio input" so check all your connection and report back here so we can continue to help you out.

Thanks for responding. Well technically the new sub is hooked up corectly, just...the signal isn't sent to it properly I guess we could say. I didn't cut or splice any of the wires. I took the origional wires from the home theater's speaker adapter out, got some plain speaker wire and put it into the adapter connected the sub to the amp in and connected the adapter the the origional sub then put the wire to the speaker in the speaker out on the sub. No spicing, cutting, or joining involved. (I'm not trying to sound cocky, just saying ;) ) When I tried this last night I started reading a bunch of things and if I'd be doing this with a passive sub it would kill the amp in the home theater sub since it would have to put out way too much power to power the sub let alone everything else and the amp can only take so much before going. So even if the 2nd sub is powered this is still a bad idea?

On the wierd sound I have very few settings to mess with within the settings menu and all the changes didn't work, I've tried this many times. I also couldn't find anything in the mannuel, looked plenty of times before this. I just don't get why it only does it when I play DVD movies. Sound from the tv or radio is fine unless the channel doesn't come in fully on the radio and is static like with and thing else. I've moved my bedroom around a few times, disassembling the whole home theater system and reassembling it with the same thing on DVD movies. I could easily fix this by either ignoring it or buying a seperate DVD player and running the sound from the tv to the home theater system, but I'm too cheap and I could probobly ignore it. I knew hts weren't the best way to go in the long run but it does do what I want, besides on the bass end which my new setup does.

edit--Since I don't have any dolby digital sources besides the DVD source it's usually stereo or pro logic II sources so I wonder if the DD decorder is messed up...no that can't be it either because any type of mode it still does it so I'm not sure. Oh well my main concern is the sub part because I really love the sound and bass it gives off.
Thanks again

I got told off of another site that the extra sub would be safe and would work fine so here are a few pics of what I did.
