Ok guys, need some help from the AV geeks
Here is my current set-up:
Reciever = Panasonic SA-XR50
TV = Sharp LC-37D43U
DVD = Panasonic DVD-S52
Satelitte = DirecTV HR20-100
I currently have both Satellite and DVD hooked up to my Sharp LCD via HDMI. I have noticed that satellite sounds fine on the built in speakers, but DVDs are REAL quiet on voices and only loud enough to hear when there is music playing on the movie. Doesn't matter how high I turn it up. Any ideas what that is all about?
Nothing is hooked up to my receiver right now. My receiver will take a 6.1 speaker but sounds good on 2 channel audio.
What I am looking to do temporarily until I get new speakers is as follows:
- Leave the 2 speakers hooked up
- Run audio out from the tv to the receiver via Optical
My questions are this.
1) Will optical and 2 speakers work ok or does optical require a surround setup?
2) In my receiver manual it shows optical connections along with a red/white analog. Is the red/white analog necessary if you are running optical?
I believe since both units are HDMI to the TV, and then the TV would be optical to the receiver that audio for DVD and Satellite would run over the same cable to the reciever. Should mean I don't have to change inputs on the receiver when changing sources on the tv.
