I got this new flat screen Samsung "SmartTV" for Father's Day and I having heartburn get all the components to work right. Here's my system:
Blu/Ray Player: Playstation 3
Receiver: Pioneer VSX-519v
Cable "DVR" box that connects to cable TV
Sony Wireless Headphones via RCA cables for cable TV and optical for PS3
Current connections: PS3 HDMI-> BD HDMI port in the receiver; HDMI out from receiver -> DVI port on Samsung TV.
Problems: I can't get sound through the receiver so I have set the receiver to "pass thru" the sound to the TV speakers. This okay for netflix. When I want to watch a Blu-Ray DVD I don't get all the channels of the sound on the TV. The Blu-Ray plays back the DVD in 7.1 stereo. Also when the HDMI cable is plugged into the PS3, I don't get sound to the headphones. I am able to get cable TV sound and picture (not HD) by leaving the sound cables connected to receiver and running the RCA cable to the back of the HCTV.
I've tried running the HDMI directly from the PS3 to the Samsung and don't get picture or sound.
I really love the Samsung TV and the picture is outstanding. The wiring and sound situation is something left to be desired. I read somewhere on the internet that the Pioneer HDMI is verion 1.3 and the Samsung HDMI is version 1.4.
I can usually figure things out by trial and error but this one has me stumped.
Any suggestions on how to get the receiver to handle the audio and the hopefully keep the wireless head phones working?
Thanks...
