Have a RCA Home Theater RTD215 and the TV is an RCA L26WD21 (cant put links b/c this is my first post).
When I play a DVD, the surround sound works (DVD built into the reciever), but it does not work when watching TV. I have regular cable conncected to the TV via coaxial. The audio goes from the TV to the reciever via composite (red and white). This is the only audio input avaliable. So do I have a setting wrong or is it not possible to get surround sound for TV?
For audio, the TV has coaxial digital out or HDMI, but the receiver only has component input. So is it a cable company issue where I am not receiving TV in surround or is it that surround cannot go through component? Or a setting off?
thanks for your time
