[all-audio] VIZIO TV accessibility with built-in speech.

2019-05-05 Thread Curtis Delzer
Now I have read the manual and there is a way to make the RCA output from the TV, variable, just a matter of turning it on from the menus. Also, there is a way to turn on speech in the accessibility menu, and according to the manual all of it will then speak. That is quite exciting, so what I

h just so ya know HDMI 1 is the 1 we are interested in here. That's the 1 that has ARC. But and I forget now the other name of something else Visio TVs will want you to turn on as well. We delt with this because mom got a few mother's days ago a smart TV. On 5/5/2019 10:05 PM, Curtis Delzer

Hi, and thanks for looking. I can not find any earphone output on the front surface of the set, so if it is there, it is well hidden. The only HDMI connectors I find are on the back, and the HDMI are in a line from bottom to top number 1 2 and 3. take care and thanks again for all the help.

The optical digital output socket should be on the rear of your set. It seems there’s an analogue 3.5MM socket on the front of the set for headphones. The manual is a little confusing so I can’t say for sure what other sockets are on the rear of the Television apart fro at least 1 hDMI input -

The Optical Digital connector looks different from other connectors. Its a square connector and in some cases may be covered by a flap which opens when an optical connector itself is inserted, much like the old car cassette players we used opened when a cassette was pushed against the flap. The

I found the light on the back of the TV close to the other connectors, is that the optical digital connector for audio? This is a technology I am totally not familiar with, so I wish to learn! I expect that in some ways it is kind of like Bluetooth? just speculating as to how it connects to

So there we are, that’s the first I’ve ever heard of a TV having a HDMI out and obviously some do however the more common standard for audio is an optical out and at least one HDMI input, I’m willing to bet that the tV we’re discussing has at least and possibly more. So the idea being that the

We have a Sony TV that we got a little over three years ago. The installers gave me an HDMI cable (looks home made) with RCA male jacks on the other end.  I plug them into my stereo auxilary inputs and, of course, have window-rattling speakers on the other end..  The three RCA females on the

Dolby Atmos is excellent but probably not to everyone’s taste or perhaps they may not be interested in putting speakers on the ceiling to get the full effect which is truly stunning if you have the Dolby Atmos material to play which is becoming more widely available. > On 5 May 2019, at 7:20

Is there really any need to go that far? One thing for sure is that all modern day TV’S have a digital optical out and the other sure thing is that the Key Egg speakers we’ve discussing along with Soundbars have a digital optical input. > On 5 May 2019, at 10:50 pm, Matthew Chao via Groups.Io
