Just last week my brother who makes such house calls found the owner had connected via RCA jacks on the HDTV. It's a common setup error. Let's read what this audio out is.
Am having trouble getting sound to come through my Sony Receiver when I connect the the audio out ( from the LG LD 450 TV) to the receivers ( Sony STR-DE995 audio in. Have tried everything and still no sound coming through speakers from TV. Everything else works and sounds great, ( DVD, CD Player and Receiver) Also have cable but it's connected to the TV via HDMI cable..What am I doing wrong.. Any help is apreciated.
