RE: Surround sound query.

I have listed my tv set up on an earlier thread if that helps you.
When my dvd is turned off I can get sky picture and sound ok.
When the dvd is turned on the screen display shows lennox surround sound logo.
When I pressed the AUX button,the logo starts to scroll round the screen and the sound from SKY comes through,but no picture.
I hope this is making sense.

RE: Surround sound query.

I just tried the aux button.The sound comes through but the lennox dvd logo starts to scroll over the screen,but no picture appears.When i press the dvd button to change it back the picture flashes up for a brief second.Do you think this might have something to do with sky not being tuned into an AV channel?

RE: Surround sound query.

Thanks for all your help.I will have a bash and see if i can get it working.

RE: Surround sound query.

As my dvd player is my surround sound system,do i not have to turn it on to activate the speakers?

RE: Surround sound query.

I will try these suggestions,but how do i get over the problem with the dvd and tv.
When i turn on the dvd (which will need to be on to get sorround sound),the tv automatically changes to the dvd screen.This means i cannot view sky etc while the dvd is turned on.
What do i need to do to remedy this problem.
Thanks everyone who has replied.

RE: Surround sound query.

I only have surround sound when i watch dvds.When i turn on the dvd player the tv automatically changes to the dvd channel so i cant watch normal tv when the dvd is on.
I told you am new to this,i think technology slipped me by.
I will do as you suggested,but do you know how to sort out this other problem.

I have had a look at how my tv is wired up,and it is as follows:-
An ariel from the tv into the vcr.
Scart 1 from tv to dvd amp.
scart 2 from tv to vcr.
ariel from sky box to vcr.

The scart connection points i have are as follows:-
tv has 2
sky box has 2
dvd has 1
vcr has 1.
If anyone can help it would be appreciated.

Surround sound query.

I want to watch my tv through my Lennox surround sound system.What is the best way to wire this up?
Already I have Sky,TV,VCR and sourround sound dvd all connected.
What cables or scarts do I need to get my TV onto surround sound?
I am a newbie,so if you can explain fully it would be appreciated.

I watch all my telly through my sky box (bad reception area),and my sky is tuned into a normal channel not AV1 etc.

If you need more info let me know.
Thanks.
