Hello everyone
I'm having trouble connecting my Sony DAV-DZ230 home theater to my new Samsung EU48H6400 TV
I have an HDMI cable for the DVD player and a SCART for the sound from other devices like the decoder
When I connect my PC to the TV via HDMI to watch a movie, I get sound and image on the TV but no sound from my home theater. What should I do? What setting did I miss?
It worked perfectly on my previous Samsung TV
Thank you in advance

Hi Stargate,
I followed your advice and did the connections, and it works!!!
Just regarding the SCART cable coming from the Sony to the TV, I disconnected it; do you think I can totally ditch it??
But it's true that I have to juggle with the TV sound, I set it to 20 to get decent sound....
Big thanks, compatriot!!! :))))

Strange thing, when I go to the settings menu of the universal remote provided with it, I set up the home theater (with brand and model recognized by the TV) directly on the TV via the SCART, and the TV recognizes the installation, so I can now turn the home theater on and off with the Samsung remote.
So I think the SCART output does provide an audio output to the home theater (otherwise why include it in the settings?), but still no sound comes out of the home theater.

Okay, well it's logical that it's not working, you confused INPUT and OUTPUT, it's clearly indicated on the TV and on the home system.
For the MALE STEREO JACK "LINE IN" of the home system, that's fine, but the RCA ports on the TV are audio INPUTS and not OUTPUTS, it's stated in the TV's manual.
In your case, you absolutely need to use the headphone output of this TV, so you'll need a simple JACK - JACK cable.
1) HDMI OUTPUT VOO <- HDMI CABLE -> HDMI 1 TV.
2) HDMI OUTPUT HC <- HDMI CABLE -> HDMI 2 TV.
3) TV HEADPHONE OUTPUT (JACK) <- JACK - JACK CABLE -> “LINE IN” INPUT HC.
Here is a clickable image of the connection diagram:
Once you've made the connection, you will need to pay attention to the TV output volume, don’t set it too high (distortion) but not too low either to avoid noise.
The same goes for the home system, you need to find the right balance between the two, and normally, there shouldn’t be anything to change on the TV side; the built-in speakers automatically turn off when you plug a JACK into the headphone jack.
For your decoder, it doesn't change anything either, leave it on HDMI.
When you’ve done that, come back and let us know how it's going please, thanks ;-)
Best regards and have a good evening, fellow countryman ;-)

Good evening ibcalli, and sorry for the (very) late reply ;-)
You are well aware that we are increasingly in the era of everything digital, and I think your DAV-DZ230 is totally obsolete in that regard ;-)
I suppose it still works very well and you plan to use it until its last breath ;-)
I myself was the happy owner of the DAV-DZ280 https://www.homecine-compare.com/ensemble-home-cinema-SONDAVDZ280-SONY-DAV-DZ280.htm which still works very well but is no longer active because I replaced it with the BDV-N7100 https://www.homecine-compare.com/ensemble-home-cinema-SONBDVN7100WB-SONY-BDV-N7100W-Noir.htm which itself became obsolete the day its direct successor the BDV-N7200 https://www.homecine-compare.com/ensemble-home-cinema-SONBDVN7200W-SONY-BDV-N7200W.htm appeared.
What I could suggest you do for connections is to plug all your devices into your TV via HDMI; this model has 4 HDMI IN ports, and to get the sound from all these devices through the home theater, connect the TV to the home with a simple JACK - JACK cable.
Indeed, your TV has a headphone output in 3.5mm STEREO JACK and your home has a JACK (LINE IN) 3.5mm INPUT.
I must tell you right away that this type of connection (audio) does come with some small consequences; there is an audio signal loss when using the headphone output, so you need to turn up the volume quite high to have a reasonable sound level on the home theater, but one thing is certain, the connection itself works well.
Here is a basic image for the connections:

Thank you for your interest in my topic
We are advancing in technology but at the same time regressing in logic, we are improving but not thinking practically
I have read and heard that there are no more line outs on a TV except for optical and HDMI, is that true? So why not keep the SCART, it worked fine back in the day!
For your solution, it works, thank you! but no surround effect
So what do you think of an HDMI/SCART converter?
https://www.amazon.fr/Goliton%C2%AE-SCART-UP-SCALER-Convertisseur-adaptateur/dp/B00WG4SDH0/ref=pd_sim_sbs_23_5?ie=UTF8&refRID=0FWC0NZYJB7AMBDGHDZT
My idea is to connect my PC via HDMI to my TV and my home theater also via HDMI using the converter
But the big question is, will the TV handle both HDMI outputs at the same time?
Because for Belgacom there are no issues still on SCART, the problem only arises when watching a movie via my PC
I thank you in advance for your opinion
:-)

Hi ibcalli,
I think there is a little confusion on your part concerning the OUT lines, actually it depends on the model and/or the series. If you go up a bit in the range, you can easily find audio OUTs such as RCA, Jack, optical, or even Coaxial.
It is true that the 6000 series from Samsung is quite lacking in terms of audio connectivity.
For surround effects, you have the option to set your home theater to "" ProLogic II ", this function aims to virtualize/decode stereo sounds into 5.1, and the result is not that bad, you have sound on all the speakers. I agree that it’s not true 5.1 but at least there is sound presence on the 6 speakers.
The big problem with your (old) home theater is that it doesn’t have a digital audio input such as optical or coaxial, not even a USB port, so you will never be able to input 5.1 sound into it.
You can make whatever connections you want, you will only be able to virtualize stereo sounds into 5.1 by enabling "" ProLogic II ".
Your HDMI/SCART converter will be of no use, the SCART remains an analog connection and in terms of sound, it also outputs stereo, which means that the 5.1 digital sound coming from the HDMI will automatically be transformed into analog stereo sound, I don’t really see the point.
For me, the only current solution (with this home theater) is to connect everything via HDMI to the TV and for audio return to the home theater, it's through the TV's headphone JACK OUT to the home theater's "LINE IN" JACK IN and set the home theater to "" ProLogic II " to virtualize all those stereo sounds into 5.1.
PS: I assume your Belgacom decoder also has an HDMI output.
PS2: Your TV has a SCART but not in the conventional form known, here’s what the new SCART looks like at Samsung:
This adapter comes with all Samsung TVs equipped with this type of socket.
Best regards ;-)

Thank you for your time!
I am a bit disappointed; I thought I had bought a very good TV, and I was motivated by the comments on the website 'les numériques'.
https://www.lesnumeriques.com/tv-televiseur/samsung-ue48h6400-p19290/avis.html
At least the picture is great :-)
So I will follow your first advice and stick with the jack plug
And thanks again for your explanations.

The TV isn't to blame; it's your home system that's a bit too outdated compared to the TV.
If your home system had an optical audio input, the issue would have been resolved a long time ago ;-)
But well, if your home system is still working fine and you don't want to change it, the only alternative is the one I suggested to you.
And you're welcome, I'm happy to help ;-)
PS: If you could keep us updated on the results after you've connected everything, that would be great and could help other users in the same situation as you, thanks in advance ;-)
Best regards and have a nice evening ;-)

Here’s a translation of your text:
Well, I tried and it works well, the sound is okay, no worse than when I used the SCART
So my good old home cinema can still enjoy happy days at my place lolll
I just had to separate the sound, let me explain
When I plug in the HDMI, I get both sound and image on my TV screen, and when I plug in the audio jack, nothing came out of the home cinema.
So I had to (and I don’t know how I managed this by fiddling around)
get the image on my TV and the sound via the PC and using the jacks to the home cinema
and it's going well, it’s nice :-)
But now I can’t remember how to restore both the image AND sound to my TV with the HDMI lololol
Do you have any idea?
Best regards :-)

Hello everyone,
I'm reviving this topic a bit because I also have this home theater, and I can't connect it to my Samsung TV!!
I'm trying to go from the audio IN headphone jack of the home theater to the RCA of the TV, but nothing works!!
Is there another setting I need to make?
Where am I going wrong??
Thanks for your help ;)

Hi Tarkan,
Could you please provide me with the brand and the EXACT MODEL of EACH DEVICE? This is so that I can better inform you about the connections to be made; the references are usually indicated on the back of the devices.
PS: no indication like "Samsung 102cm," that is not a reference, but rather like this example: "<b>SAMSUNG UE40C5100 - 102 cm</b>".
PS: For the home, that's fine, but the TV and the rest if there are any ;-)
Best regards and thank you for your understanding.

Hi Stargate,
So it's the Samsung UE55H6850AW that needs to be connected to the Sony HC 230!
There's also a VOO decoder (I'm from Belgium), to get the HD TV channels, which is already connected to the TV via HDMI
Here's the cable I used to connect from the AUDIO IN of the HC to the TV in RCA
Thank you ;)

Ok thanks Stargate!!
I'll try that then with jack-jack, although I read elsewhere that they recommended going from the HC to the TV using RCA for audio IN, but no worries, I'll give it a shot :)
It will just take a few days before I can try it, as it's at my girlfriend's place, and she doesn't live nearby!!
Thanks again, compatriot, and I'll keep you updated whatever happens!!

It depends on what connections the TV has; yours has only one audio output, which is a ANALOGUE HEADPHONE output.
But whether it's RCA or JACK, it doesn't change anything since both OUTPUTS are ANALOGUE.
And many people get it wrong; the sound doesn't go from the home theater to the TV in your case, but rather from the TV (via the headphone output) TO the home theater LINE IN when it comes to hearing TV channels in the home theater.
Many people still confuse inputs and outputs, and based on the first connection you made, it's your case as well ;-)
Best regards, have a good evening and thank you for the feedback ;-)

Of course you can get rid of the SCART cable, I suppose everything is connected via HDMI on your TV? The home theater and the Voo decoder?
You will have a much better image quality with an HDMI connection (digital) than with a SCART (analog).
Indeed, with this type of audio connection, you have to juggle between the TV sound and the home theater sound to avoid too much noise and also to prevent distortion.
PS: The day you need to change your home theater, it is imperative to look at the connectivity options of the new device; you should have at least one OPTICAL INPUT, so you could eliminate the analog connection (TV headphone out -> home input) in favor of a connection for superior sound quality.
And then you would have the choice to either connect the optical cable to the TV's optical out and to the new home theater's optical in, or to connect the same cable to the optical out of the Voo decoder and to the optical in of the home theater.
But the first optical connection is to be preferred because the sound from all devices connected via HDMI to the TV would pass through the home theater; that's actually how I set up my own system.
There you go, thanks for the feedback regarding the connection ;-)
Best regards, have a nice weekend and enjoy the audio ;-)
PS: I will close the subject myself by marking it as resolved since its author has not returned since and has not given any news since resolving the issue ;-)
