I know that a home theatre subwoofer only uses one connection where as the custom logitech 5.1 speaker system sub has the 5 speakers that connect to it. i was wondering if there was some type of adapter that could take the 5 leads from the logitech speakers and narrow them down to one lead (like the home theatre system), and connect it to a home theatre sub. there probably isn't but i was just wonderin. cheers

Okay so i was doing some experimenting in my free time and I found that i can connect my Ipod to my home theatre system. I was trying to blast some music for fun when I realised the Sub wasn't working o.O? I check the cables and it looks all good. The chord is going from the main part in the plug (Sub Out) to the subwoofer itself into (Sub In). When i click Sub ON on the main thingo, it says (No Sub connected) ?? help please

I want to hook up my sony bdps370 with my home theatre system. the home theatre system is dvd, it has 1x component at the back, 1x rca, the speaker areas, no optical audio out or hdmi out.

So can i do this or not?

it is a 550W RMS System.

I have a problem and was wondering if anyone could assist me with it. I just got for Christmas a 5.1 Sony DVD Home Theatre System (Model: DAV-HDX285) it works perfectly and beyound what I imagined, in some ways even better then how a movie theatre acutally sounds like, but that's only when I have it set to DVD mode from when you change the function you want on your receiver
remote. Overall, when I attempt to switch to regular TV mode just to watch my FIOS cable- only the Front Right, Centre, and Subwoofer work. The rest of the speakers of which are the Front Left, Back Right, and Back Left do not work, they have no sound coming out of them but work perfectly when I put a DVD into the system. I have no clue what is causing this problem or sort of conflict, I don't know if maybe one of the cables aren't in right, or there is a certain cable I may need to use when watching Verizon FIOS TV to make all of the speakers run smoothly and effectively. I just want to say, the system is brand new, has never been touched, came right from the store and I was just wondering what this problem could possibly be and how I can resolve this to make my viewing experience more pleasurable while watching normal TV and not a DVD. Just setting up the wires and cables into the back of the TV and receiver itself was a pain in the ass- as I never had a system like this before and I got confused right off the bat so I may have something in wrong, I just need a helpful hand and would like anyone kind enough to guide me on what I should do and the measures I should take.

-Thanks again and Happy Holiday's.

I want to buy a blu ray player and coonect it to my exsiting home theatre system how do i do this when all the speakers run from the dvd player

Well I've been looking at buying a home theatre system but don't quite get this dvd player thing. It sounds like they come with the dvd player but what if I want to use my own can I? also I have a blu ray player can that be hooked up to a home theatre system instead of the standard dvd player?

cheers any help will be great

I would like to play my xbox 360 in 5.1 surround sound. If the home theatre system has a ""Built-In Dolby Digital Decoder"", do I still need an optical cable for my xbox to hear it in 5.1 SS, or will this ""decoder"" take care of this in place of the optical cable.

In other words,Will it be able to just use the red and white cables to produce 5.1 surround sound?

I need help researching a receiver for our home theatre system. It must be compatible with our blu-ray (Panasonic DMP-BD605). Any suggestions for someone who doesn't know jack about this kind of thing?

So about a year or two ago I bought a DVD home theatre system, all the speakers connect to the DVD player. Now I am considering buying a blue-ray player but don't know if I can somehow connect it to the speakers on the DVD home theatre, or play it through the blue-ray but get the sound from the DVD system. The speakers are great and don’t really want to spend big money having to buy a bunch of new equipment. There is only one HDMI connection on both the TV and DVD player as well. Anyone have any suggestions?
