We're camping out west so I haven't seen been following this post, but it was so cold that we checked in to the super8 so I popped in to check.

I was asked in this thread what model TV. Its an LG and it was in the LH series. I think the model number was something like LG 47LH30, although I don't have the model with me.

Anyway its in the 30's here at night so I'm NOT sleeping in a tent so I might pop in again while I'm living the life of luxury in the super 8 with the computer in the lobby!

I just ordered the new cabinet for under the TV and now I've really got to get this Audio Out figured out. We can't hear the TV when there is any background noise, so when the neighbors mow, blow, and trim, or when the laundry is running we absolutely need to have this hooked up to the stereo speakers in the house.

I've found this information about the LG 47LH30.

SRS TruSurround XT, Invisible Speakers, Dolby Digital 5.1 Decoder.

I've dug through the manual and can't find anything about adjusting the surround sound to be anything other than dolby. The only thing in the manual is about surround sound is where it shows you how to turn off the internal speakers.

So if I'm understanding the answers I got in this thread, if the source has dolby 5.1 the TV will probably output this in 5.1. I assume that blu-ray players and some HD signals will be sent with dolby 5.1. I don't have a blu-ray player yet, but I think sometime down the road, a blu-ray will be replacing my DVD player.

So if I'm get the lower cost adapter, this will be obsolete in the next few years. So it looks like I'll need to spend more money to get this up and running.

I found the GenFen 5.1 $129 adapter for 88.26, aproximately 4 times more expensive than the non 5.1 adapter, but at a price I was comfortable with and they included the optical cable and RCA cables in that sale price.

Thanks for all the help with this.

Hmm, I seem to have missed it, but there is a beta extender for the 31473147 Insignia Remote in the file section. Is that the model you have?

Oh no, they are very different.

An Extender is a program you load in the e2 area that takes charge of the remote and processes key presses instead of allowing control to pass back to the normal key processing loop.

An RDF is a file that just tells our tools ( IR, RMIR and RM) how the e2 area is used, and what the keys are named and all sorts of other requirements for the e2 area. An extender will actually come with its own RDF because we extender writers change the way the e2 area is used.

Check out the Extenders FAQ in the wiki.

There hasn't been that much extender activity. NBoater and mathdon have written extenders for some of the European remote, and UncleMiltie is very active and specializes in the JP1.3 remotes, and I specialize in JP1.2 extenders.

It took me 6 years before I dared use an extender, and once I did I could never go back.

The GefenTV adapter is now hooked up. As you guys thought, the TV passes through the sound that it recieved. The bad news is that on the 65 digital SD stations, the dolby light flickers on and off and every other word is dropped and three is a lot of snapping. On the HD channels the sound is spectacular the dolby light is illuminated all the time. If i play TV through the magnavox 515h dvr, with the AV cables, all the dolby flickering is gone, the dolby liight is out, but I get nice sound out of the stereo.

Basically I wish I hadn't upgraded to the new TV. Working with the STB was easier than this. I hate the new technology.
