Question

My DVD player for the Panasonic sa-ht930 surround sound is DONE BAKED ETC. my questions is .. is there a way to use the surrond sound without the dvd/receiver (everything plugs into dvdvia monster plug), is the a conversation plug?????

Answer 1

You only have analog audio inputs on the back of your receiver, so I would say no.

You could hook up a new DVD player using the stereo inputs called TV, VCR or Aux on the back of your unit, but then you will have to listen to "simulated" surround. No Dolby Digital, no DTS.

Answer 2

I'm almost certain there is no conversion plug - if your DVD playing part of the Panasonic system is broken then unfortunately the supplied 'system cable' which takes the sound for all 6 channels to the subwoofer is a special one and the subwoofer has only an input for this type of cable, as per page 12 of the Operating Manual. Also as per one or two comments on forums.

Most DVD players will output sound as coaxial or optical digital, and phono.

Pretty sure you'll have to get the system main DVD unit repaired, or get a new system.
