Hello everyone. I'll try to be as to-the-point as I can:
I have a 46" Samsung hdmi to Pioneer dvd player. An external hard drive hdmi's into the Samsng as well. Surround speakers connect to the dvd player. The speakers use a weird type of connector instead of composite jacks. I have included links for the photos.
Problem:The ONLY time the surround will kick in will be when the dvd player is playing something. When watching something from the external hard drive or TV ONLY, nothing comes out of the speakers even though the dvd is on. Tried playing with the volume control....doesnt make a difference. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks in advance!!!
