  • Tivo 3 sound output.

    OK, just got my series 3 from you yesterday and LOVE it! Thank you!
    (btw. . Bresnan even let me install my own cable cards)

    However, I am having a problem getting the digital sound from my Tivo to my audio receiver (which is dolby capable but not THX certified).

    I have the HDMI cable going from TIVO to my TV then the digital out cable going from the TV to my receiver. But I cannot get any sound from my receiver - only the TV.

    I have the same setup for my DVD player and it works (even if I switch the cables and ports to be same as the TIVO).

    So my assumption is that somehow the audio signal from the TIVO to the TV is not the same as the audio signal coming from my DVD to Tivo and that is stopping the TV from being able to send the Tivo audio out (or stopping the receiver from processing the audio signal)

    Do you have any ideas on what could be going on?

    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Hmmm...did you configure you TiVo to record Dolby Digital?
    That's all there is to it!

      I have tried Dolby and Dolby to PCM.

      Neither seems to help.

          Well, I'm not sure. The S3 manual isn't too descriptive when it comes to digital audio. I'm referring to page 42 of the red S3 manual, and it does mention needing to see a Dolby icon on the show info screen. Do you get left right audio out of the unit into your stereo?

            No, I cannot get any sound out of my receiver.

            I have no problem with not getting surround sound out of SD shows but I should be able to get sound out of the receiver.

              But if you bypass the receiver and connect the left/right audio from the TiVo's out to one of the TV's inputs and monitor that input, do you hear anything?

                ah, had not tried that. but the idea was to limit cables and use the HDMI.
