How to connect my panasanoic tv audio to Insignis NS-R5100 receiver.

[maneesahmed]

I have recently bought a new Insignia NS-R5100 receiver. Can someone help me understand how I can connect my audio output to the receiver.

I am able to connect my laptop to the receiver and hear sound but unable to do the same with TV. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong.

I have connected the yellow, red, white plug appropriately to TV but unsure where the other end of yellow , white & red plugs shoud go into the receiver.

Thanks in advance for all the help

Plug the cables to the INPUT jacks on the reciever and make sure it corresponds to the OUTPUT jacks on your TV. For example, if you're using you're TV, make sure the you're plugging in the cables to the VIDEO 1 or VIDEO 2 OUTPUT on your TV and that it matches with the same function INPUT on the receiver. And double check to make sure that the reciever is in the right mode to playback what you want. Hope this helps!

might be easier to connect the sources to the receiver instead of the tv. which model panasonic tv is it?

Still not working...

Followed your direction of connecting the cable as per the color scheme but still not able to hear the TV audio on my speakers.

Wonder what cud b e wrong??...Is there some setting on the receiver which needs to be set?


Thanks...

That yellow jack you mention on the TV causes me to ask you if you are sure these are outputs (and not inputs) on the TV? This is usually, but not always, indicative of an input.

Most TV's have these inputs to allow connection of external sources such as DVD's VHS machines and cable boxes. Comparatively few TV's have composite video outputs.

If these are indeed outputs, you don't need to connect that yellow jack to the receiver to get TV sound to the receiver. Just plug the red/white jacks into any available input, except a phono input should you have one. Then it should be a simple mater of selecting that input on the receiver.

Also, some, not all, TV's need to have the audio option set, usually on a menu somewhere, to pass audio out of these jacks. Check your TV's manual for this.

But first, make sure they are really outputs.

I would use your TV's digital output. It should be a coaxial (single RCA connector) or toslink (optical).

Yes, you are right the TV shows it as input jacks. What can I do now to get the TV audio thru the receiver?

Thanks for all the help

Good news and bad news.

The good news is that if you are using an external source such as a cable/satellite box, DVD, VHS, etc..., they generally have audio outputs of some sort (red/white analog audio or some sort of digital, assuming an AVR) that you can connect directly to your receiver. Simply turn the TV's sound down when using the receiver.

The bad news is that if you are using the TV's internal tuner, you're boned. they don't provide a facility to route the audio to an external amplifier.
