i have a panosonic sc-pt450 dvd home theater system, how do i get sky and tv to work through it.?


it is currently connected to the tv with a scart lead.there must be a simple way to do it. the manual really confuses me!

sky, and tv in general, broadcast in stereo i.e. two speakers
and the stereo is a 5.1 surround i.e. 5 speakers and one sub woofer. So you will only get sound through two of the five speakers...to get sound, you get a double phono( the red and white cables) and plug in one end into the audio out of the sky box, they will be at the back one red and one white. then use the other end to plug into the AUX of the home theater, this should also be at the back...

While playing movies on my home theatre, why does the background music work, but the dialogue cannot be heard?


While playing DVD movies on my Samsung Home Theatre System, the background sounds and music work correctly, but the voice dialogue is either low and echoes or simply nonexistent. Is there a simple solution to this problem?

Check and make sure your center channel speaker is still working. That's where most of the dialogue will be heard.

**Note from Klipsch: We are aware of and have addressed the trouble with the DVD player portion of our Klipsch CS-500 2.1 Home Theater system. We recently (MAR-10) upgraded the DVD portion of the CS-500 to a much more robust and reliable mechanism (this includes units currently in-stock at Amazon). After recognizing the failure rate of the CS-500's DVD section was not up to Klipsch standards, we implemented this upgrade at the factory-level.** Sleek, simple, and small the Klipsch CS-500 2.1 home theater system puts the ultimate cinema experience right into your living room with fewer wires and less components. By way of Dolby Virtual Speaker technology, this amazing compact setup delivers the effect of a large, 5.1 home theater system with just two satellites, a subwoofer, and an A/V center. Each magnetically shielded CS-500 satellite speaker employs dual 2.5" high-output woofers and a 0.75" horn-loaded tweeter. Our exclusive Tractrix(R) Horn technology is what allows this home theater system to deliver genuine lifelike sound as well as produce more output using less energy. The down-firing subwoofer utilizes a powerful 6.5" woofer. The A/V center features a built-in Class D amplifier that distributes 35 watts of power to each satellite speaker and 100 watts of power to the subwoofer. It also includes Dolby Virtual Speaker technology along with a progressive scan DVD/CD player, AM/FM tuner, and three auxiliary inputs. The CS-500 home theater system even has the ability to pass high-definition signals through a component output and can simplify all of the auxiliary input connections into a single convenient output to the TV. An easy-to-use universal IR remote control directs all system functions as well as those of the TV and other entertainment devices.
