Answer 1

It sounds like you plugged a cable into the wrong port...

Answer 2

Your best bet is to google the MN# of the system. Sony is good about providing on line owners manuals. Follow the directions in the manual and you should be good. If not, try using Yahoo answers again with a bit more of a specific question.

   Good luck.

Answer 3

write down the model and then go to a shop that sells that type of thing and ask one of the professionals there.

Answer 4

A good place to start is what all that stuff is for.  The "sub" and the "bunch of speakers" need to all be hooked into the "box thing".  Each speaker must be placed in the proper location in your living room, and in turn, plugged into the right "hole" in the back of the "box thing".  Here's a link for SPEAKER PLACEMENT: http://www.avtruths.com/speaker.html

The "sub" should be near the wall (the corner's even better) and should also be connected to the proper "hole" in the back of the "box thing".  Believe it or not, that was the easy part.

Those "red, yellow and white chords" deliver the SOUND and PICTURE to your television.  If your Sony "box thing" has it's very own DVD player built in, then you'll only need to worry about sending the PICTURE to your TV set.

When dealing with "red, yellow and white chords" all you need to know is that YELLOW is always PICTURE.  The RED and WHITE are always the sound.  Remember this because EVERY piece of home theater equipment connects with these "red, yellow and white chords".  And if you look on the back of ANY home theater equipment you'll find "holes" that match your "red, yellow and white chords".

The point is, if you want to run PICTURE information from one thing to another (DVD to the TV), you're going to look for a "YELLOW CHORD" and try to find the "YELLOW HOLE" on both pieces of equipment you're trying to hook together.  And if you want to run SOUND information between them, you'll need to find a "RED and WHITE CHORD" and then find the "RED and WHITE HOLES" on both pieces of equipment.  You may have noticed that the YELLOW is usually together with the RED and WHITE because people need both sound AND picture to watch movies and such.

The hardest part is yet to come.  You'll need to find the owner's manual and go into the MENU system of your Sony Home Theater and make sure the computer inside is all set up and ready to "manage" everything according to how you've put everything together.  All Home Theaters are like this, unfortunately.

If you've lost your owner's manual you can download it for FREE from Sony's website (if you know the modle number).  Click right here to enter in when you find it: http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/select-...
