How to get wireless headphones working for a blu ray player?

blu ray player component video output image

Trexlermal

I have a Sylvania 32' LCD TV [LC320SS2] and a Panasonic Blu Ray Player BD79PK. I am trying to hook up some Radioshack Wireless Headphones so that they will work with the audio coming out of my Panasonic Blu Ray Player.

The Blu Ray player does not have the required Red/White outlets that the Wireless Headphone Receiver requires to plug in to. The television only has outputs for red white and a separate yellow digital output.

Naturally I tried to plug the Wireless tower's red white plugs into my Slyvania Tv's Audio Output.

However when I do this, I get no sound because I have the HDMI plugged in for the Blu Ray. I think the HDMI just overides the Red White audio.

I can not find settings in the TV or DVD player to turn off HDMI audio. I can only get the wireless headphones to work on a regular dvd player.

How can I get the wireless headphones to work on my Blu Ray?

Answer
On the Sylvania LC320SS2 the left and right (RCA) analog audio jacks are inputs, designed to be used in conjunction with the component video inputs or PC input. (In other words, they are inputs only, not outputs.)

The only audio output on the Sylvania LC320SS the coaxial digital audio output, which outputs a Dolby compatible digital signal.

How to get HD resolution with blu-ray player on projector TV?

Amber E

I just got a smart blu-ray player (LG bp220) for Christmas but I have an older projector TV (Mitsubishi ws-48313), which supports up to 1080i. The TV supports the HD with my cable box (Scientific Atlanta) through the PR/PB/Y components. I got the HDMI cable as well as a DVI adapter since my TV doesn't have an HDMI output, but it still isn't working. The blu-ray player keeps setting the resolution back to 480p (Black screen,"Resolution change!! When the screen is not visible, please press the Stop Key for 5 seconds"). I've unplugged the cable box to see if the TV just can't handle multiple HD stuff, and I've checked the TV's resolution. Please help, it looks terrible!

Answer
If you have another component video input available, try connecting the blu ray player via component. Test it with the cable box cables first. If it works, get another set of component cables.

How do I convert hdmi to component?

I have an older sanyo hd TV and a new lg blu ray player.The problem is that my tv does not have a hdmi output, it only has outputs for component cables.What do I buy to go from hdmi to component?

Answer
How the devices are hooked up with a hdmi cable.
- Blu-ray player hdmi output to hdmi input on tv for tv video+audio. (Configure output and inputs settings).
- Hdmi > displayport > dvi > vga, will all be capable of doing up to 1080p or beyond.
- Component will do up to 720p and 1080i. (If the tv does not have the above connections, it will not likely be able to do beyond 720p or 1080i).

If the blu-ray player has hdmi output and tv gots a dvi-i or dvi-d input,
- Use a hdmi to dvi-d cable.
or
If the blu-ray player has a dvi output and tv gots a dvi input,
- Use a dvi cable.
or
If the blu-ray player has a vga output and tv gots a vga input,
- Use a vga cable.
or
If the blu-ray player has vga output and tv gots a dvi-i or dvi-a input or vice versa,
- Use a vga to dvi-a cable.
or
If the blu-ray player has a component output and the tv gots a tv component input,
- Use a component cable (other than hdmi, a blu-ray player should always have at least one other video output like component video).
or
If your outputs/inputs use a different signal, you cannot use a simple cable, you would need a converter (or a receiver which can convert as well).
- Now to answer your question, if a converter is your only option, you can get a hdmi to component converter, you can find them on monoprice and amazon.
- EDIT: I forgot to mention that both vga and component is analog and hdmi is digital + use different color spaces.ect = you need a hdmi converter to go to vga or component. (Hdmi to vga converter > hdmi to component converter. Check what resolution each does, vga will do 1080p or beyond, while component will only do up to 720p or 1080i). (Check if you got vga, if not use component).

Hook up a Bluray player with only HDMI output, to play audio through Surround Sound connected via component?

Father Tim

Please help, looking to play Blu Ray audio through my DVD/Surround Sound. The Blu Ray player only has a HDMI output, so it is hooked up to the TV. The TV is connected to the DVD/Surround Sound via component. Right now I can see the picture, but I can't see the audio. If it matters, the Cable box is hooked to the tv with HDMI.

Answer
Component (green, red, blue RCA cables) is video only. So from what you've described, you haven't sent any audio to your sound system.

Some dvd/surround systems (especially the cheaper ones) are players only, meaning they don't have any audio inputs to connect anything else to them. In that case, the speakers are only for the built-in dvd player. You didn't say what the tv can output and what the sound system can input so I'm going to have to write a lot of "if"s:

If the Blu-ray player only has hdmi and the sound system doesn't have hdmi input (likely), you'll have to use the tv's audio output. You can only get stereo this way, not full surround sound. Most tvs have optical (s/pdif) as the only output. If your sound system has optical in, use that. If it has digital coaxial (another kind of s/pdif) input, you can get an "optical to digital coaxial" converter. If the sound system only has analog (red/white RCA) input and the tv has a headphone jack, you can connect it that way using a "3.5mm to rca" cable. This is your lowest-cost option and not really any worse than anything else. Last one: If there's no headphone jack but the tv does have optical out, you can get an "optical to analog rca" converter as well.

It's up to you to decide if all this is worth it. If your tv speakers already sound good, it may not be worth jumping through hoops to get the (stereo only) sound out of the sound system's speakers. Someone will probably come along and tell you to just buy a new surround sound system with hdmi (or at least s/pdif) input :)
The way to get surround out of Blu-ray, by the way, would be to connect the Blu-ray player to the sound system via hdmi or s/pdif but that doesn't sound like an option with your current equipment. I personally prefer a player with more output options for this reason.

Will a wifi blu ray player work with my old crt tube tv?

J

Assuming i used component cables (because this tv doesnt have hdmi), would the blu ray player and the wifi work on the tv? Or does it need to be a high def flat panel tv?

Answer
Newer Blu Ray players do not have analog (including component) video outputs. I doubt if you will find any new ones with it.

I recently bought a refurbished model just because the old design had analog video out. Finding one with both analog out and built in WiFi seems unlikely, but I didn't look for one.
