amal agarwal go in denon setings- go to hdmi settings to turn on hdmi control and "arc" but TV must have arc and use 1.4 hdmi cable but if still does not work use TV's optic audio output like shown here 0:35 or call Denon "like" if this helps, Tel:201-762-6665
Thank you, it has been awhile sense i hooked the surround sound up, and i was messing with the hdmi cords, and there you go no sound. I couldn’t figure out what i did wrong. Then there was you, to save my big snowy day here in Colorado. Thank you. A big hug to you.🤗😘
You're a legend I had it all connected but my problem was I was looking to fix the arc through audio settings instead of the TV master settings right down the bottom. So easy if you look through all the menus it's almost impossible to miss.
Thanks folks! You did not cover: Arc/ hdmi hookup will send on air tv sound to the receiver thru the arc/hdmi cable right? Are there tv audio settings that make that work?
I just inherited one of the muteki systems. was trying to work out how to get my new samsung telly to talk to it through the remote... this video was perfect. I know its an old video but its still helpful :) Thankyou sir!
I have my sound bar sharp set up with hdmi cables if i connect an optical audio cable along with hdmi will it sound better? Bcuz my sharp sound bar and sharp tv is nice but the sound for the voices is low the background sound over powers it so its hard to hear voices in shows and movies
just bought a Sony Surround ht-rt5 and a Samsung 4K UHD.. So do I use the ARC and the Digital Audio wire? I wasn't able to access the setup on the TV for the Sony surround remote. With a combined 500w. I thought the sound (for music) would be stronger. so thought i might have set up something wrong
So you plug in everything into the TV and just by using the ARC HDMI's, they will all be played through the soundbar? Will the sound to those other devices still work through the TV if the soundbar is powered off?
So, are you saying that ARC should only be used in relation to Surround Sound or can I use it to send audio signal back to a standard 2 channel stereo output system?
I need help setting up a new roku tv with an older Panasonic home surround system please. The receiver is only rca jacks. Is there a converter maybe? Any help is appreciated. Thank you
Hey I have a LG 60LA6205 Smart TV and a Pioneer VSX-523-K Receiver. The only input I use on the TV is for the receiver because I connected everything else to the receiver's inputs. I know both of them support arc and I've turned it on for both systems. I still don't get sound. Which input should the receiver be set to in order to play sound when using Netflix or RUclips from the TV?
I have a Sony Bravia TV and a Sony BR Disc Player, Comcast DVR, and a Sony 7.1 Soundbar I am trying to run everything from the ARC on the Soundbar. Can you tell me where the HDMI cables go and if I need optical connectors.
I have a Sony bluray w/surround sound and have it connected to a 65" Vizio TV. I'm using a digital optical cord and there's a pause in the sound from time to time. I also have an HDMI cord hooked up between the 2 but have the audio set up through the optical. any ideas what the pause in sound is? the TV? The optical cord? please let me know thanks!
Can the arc connection on the tv just be used as a regular hdmi for video playback? like the other 3 marked hdmi inputs. I have no need for arc at the moment. I do however need all the ports to simply playback video
Would you know if a sharp tv can connect to Panasonic home theatre system? What I’m trying to do is turn down the sub or bass on the surround system but don’t know how. I got the remote for the home system but won’t let me into the settings :/
Also My Samsung Soundbar has a HDMI input as well as HDMI out (ARC) jack Can I connect devices to an HDMI switcher and take output of HDMI switch and go to the soundbar's HDMI input? Will I get more than just stereo if I connect it through a switch like this?
I used optical converter to connect my logitech 5.1 speakers into Samsung smart Tv through RCA and it works good but I'm not able to control voice through TV remote. I want to ask you that if i use HDMI converter to connect the same speakers will i be able to control the sound from Tv remote?
I used to have a Coby TV model # TFTV3229 and I just bought a Insignia 40" 1080p 60Hz LED TV (NS-40D510NA15) from Best Buy. I also have a SONY Blue Ray home theater system BDV-E880 that used to work on my COBY TV that I plugged in using an HDMI plug, providing theater surround sound with my tv. On my new Insignia when I plugged the Sony system into one of the HDMI ports the sound system doesn’t work with the TV mode anymore, I am not even sure if it is compatible. The sound bar, sub-woofer and speakers on the Sony System work fine when playing a DVD or internet content on the Blu Ray but it doesn’t seem to work correctly with just the TV. Can this be fixed or is it a TV model problem that will not work due to model types of tv’s. I am not sure why a less expensive model like the COBY would be compatible and work with the Sony BDV and not the Insignia. Any ideas? Thanks appreciate your help :)

I have a old Sherwood receiver tht has no hdmi source, just brought a blue ray player,that only have a hdmi, lan and digital auto out sources. Is thereb anyway I can hook it up through the receiver for surround sound?
OMG!!! I was searching the internet looking for this!!!!! You answered the 1 simple question I couldn't find anywhere!! I have a Vizio E601i-A3.........Just bought a cheap RCA bluray HTIAB with only an optical input (only bought it bc it was REALLY cheap from a pawn shop), it sounds decent but I have to hook up the optical directly from the Xbox, because it sounds like crap with the optical coming from the Vizio TV....I heard that you get better surround sound PERIOD through HDMI then Optical........The simple question I had was......If I bought a newer HTIAB like the Sony BDV-E2100 (bc my apt living room listening area is only 10X10)......hooked that up to HDMI 1 (ARC), then hooked my Xbox one to HDMI 2, would I still get my TV and/or my Xbox game's 5.1 through the home theater system?.......
I am having trouble getting sound and audio at the same time when I plug my blu ray into my tv. They are both Panasonic. I bought an HDMI to RCA converter but I can either get picture no sound or sound no picture. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Any hell would be great
Omg all my problems were fixed at 1:06. I just pause this video unplugged TV and received and plugged in after 1 min and wala. .. thank you, I've been at this for days
What problem were you having? I get picture no sound no matter what setting I change. Even when I use just optical. Lost hope on my 2 HDMI receivers and I'm using an old sony.
I have no problem with this setup. My question is more towards the receiver. I have a Yamaha RX-V377 and it works fine. However, I notice that when I am watching a moving on Directv, I cannot change any Dolby settings. I press the "SUR DECODE" button on the remote to change, but is just goes to STRAIGHT. Is this normal when using this HDMI & ARC type of setup? I can change the preset MOVIE settings in the receiver but cannot change the DOLBY sound settings unless I change to an AUDIO setting, thus not on the HDMI setting.

Hello, I recently had a problem with my soundbar, I bought a new monster power surge and my soundbar was working fine until the sound just stoped working on the soundbar. Im able to get audio from thetv speaker but not from the soundbar, would you know why this happened?
The problem with the surround coming from the TV is that they will try to give you only stereo. Personally I think that, especially with a game system, you're better connecting it directly to the AV Receiver. Many receivers allow to output any type of connection through HMDI, whether it's composite, S-Video, or component. Lower quality connections will get upscaled though.
Is there a general rule of thumb as far as connecting devices via hdmi? 1. Receiver arc hdmi goes to tv arc hdmi. 2.??? Would you connect TV hdmi inputs next or Receiver hdmi inputs and does it matter, can you use both receiver and tv hdmi inputs
I have DirecTV & PS3 running into my Sony surround system and then 1 HDMI running to my Samsung TV....I get a delay in the sound (people's mouths and words don't match right up) when watching DirecTV sometimes. Any thoughts?
Hi, I have a Samsung f7100 TV, and Yamaha rx-v377 receiver. I can't get sound to come out of my arc port or optical port. I have the cords going thru couplings on the wall, could this be the reason for no sound? I have all of my cords hooked up right, and believe that I set up everything correctly on my tv and receiver. On my tv though, the "receiver" prompt doesn't show up on the "anynet cec " promote like yours does, but on the "speaker settings" "speaker select" menu I can select "receiver" as my output. I'm lost on what to do. Please help me.

I am connecting bluray/dvd player & surround sound to TV while staying connected to digital cable. Can you help me configure this? I have surround out of the blue ray, but not the TV. Thank you.
Im assuming this only needs one cable? For example, I cable comes out of the TV ARC port and into a ARC compatible port on your receiver? Or are you using two HDMI cables?
correct only 1 1.4v or 2.0v hdmi cable, sends data back and forth so tv and receiver are sync and communicating. volume control and turn on and off together.
I did it just the way you said, I use Sony bravia smart TV, Sony home cinema 5.1 and PS4, but the sound I hear is not surround, it looks like 2.1..completely the 2 rear speakers are off that's when I output the sound from PS4 but if I use the bluray of the home cinema, I hear 5.1 and I am sure I am using a dolby media on PS4, what could be gone wrong? or Should I use optical cable between PS4 and the home cinema? Thanks

I don't know if you can help. We just cut the cord and watch over the air TV, Netflix....We have a Yamaha RX-V577 and an LG 65UB9200 TV. We connected the ARC from receiver to TV and made all the changes in receiver and TV but no sound. We gave up trying and then was told to do the optical. We did that and now have the surround sound. The problem is my husband is close to deaf and uses a Sony wireless headset. We have an optical splitter but headset won't work.we have tried the RCA cables from headset to receiver and nothing. I moved headset and connected to another TV and it works. Are we screwed with now not being able to use it with the LG? We did use them when we had cable. Thanks.

Hi, I have Sony google tv model NSX-46GT1 and I am struggling to connect Sony BDV-E3100 surround sound system. I have 4 HDMI ports at back of my tv and I am not sure what settings I need to change in Sony google tv. Appreciate you help.
Yamaha RX-V379 receiver; Insignia TV. HDMI ARC compatible. AV2 default input for TV sound. Always worked over a period of two years. I never heard TV audio, not even once, through the TV speakers. Not a TV watcher here, but once or twice a year. Been six months since the last time I pulled TV audio through my sound system. Now TV audio won't play through the Yamaha. In between times, I hooked up our old VCR so my wife could watch a Xmas movie. I used AV2 as the audio hookups. Obviously, I have disconnected the cables to the VCR! I've gone through everything: Yamaha Setup to make sure HDMI is "ON", ARC, AV2, the TV speakers "OFF" (the Insignia says to turn the speakers off when using external speakers; but I have tried both ways to no avail). If my hair were not butched I'd have pulled it out by now.
amal agarwal go in denon setings- go to hdmi settings to turn on hdmi control and "arc" but TV must have arc and use 1.4 hdmi cable but if still does not work use TV's optic audio output like shown here 0:35 or call Denon "like" if this helps, Tel:201-762-6665

In settings, advance features or audio video settings called CEC, hdmi control, anynet+ turn on. Also only hdmi cables 1.4v or later are compatible.

Hey I have got W95D Sony led smart TV and I want to connect to my Sony 5.2 home theatre can u plz help
The problem with the surround coming from the TV is that they will try to give you only stereo. Personally I think that, especially with a game system, you're better connecting it directly to the AV Receiver. Many receivers allow to output any type of connection through HMDI, whether it's composite, S-Video, or component. Lower quality connections will get upscaled though.

I have DirecTV & PS3 running into my Sony surround system and then 1 HDMI running to my Samsung TV....I get a delay in the sound (people's mouths and words don't match right up) when watching DirecTV sometimes. Any thoughts?
Hi, I have a Samsung f7100 TV, and Yamaha rx-v377 receiver. I can't get sound to come out of my arc port or optical port. I have the cords going thru couplings on the wall, could this be the reason for no sound? I have all of my cords hooked up right, and believe that I set up everything correctly on my tv and receiver. On my tv though, the "receiver" prompt doesn't show up on the "anynet cec " promote like yours does, but on the "speaker settings" "speaker select" menu I can select "receiver" as my output. I'm lost on what to do. Please help me.

I am connecting bluray/dvd player & surround sound to TV while staying connected to digital cable. Can you help me configure this? I have surround out of the blue ray, but not the TV. Thank you.
Im assuming this only needs one cable? For example, I cable comes out of the TV ARC port and into a ARC compatible port on your receiver? Or are you using two HDMI cables?
correct only 1 1.4v or 2.0v hdmi cable, sends data back and forth so tv and receiver are sync and communicating. volume control and turn on and off together.
rgr that - thank you
Thanks!! I got my LG surround sound to connect to my Hisense TV no manual gave me this info👌👌
I did it just the way you said, I use Sony bravia smart TV, Sony home cinema 5.1 and PS4, but the sound I hear is not surround, it looks like 2.1..completely the 2 rear speakers are off that's when I output the sound from PS4
but if I use the bluray of the home cinema, I hear 5.1 and I am sure I am using a dolby media on PS4, what could be gone wrong? or Should I use optical cable between PS4 and the home cinema? Thanks

Is there a way to change the volume indicator once it's all connected? Once it works using samsung tv and samsung home theater, all you see once you use the volume up/down buttons is an animation. No numeric indicator.

Is there a way to change it?

Will bluray rips on ssd output 5.1 if played from tv usb on the above setup?
I don't know if you can help. We just cut the cord and watch over the air TV, Netflix....We have a Yamaha RX-V577 and an LG 65UB9200 TV. We connected the ARC from receiver to TV and made all the changes in receiver and TV but no sound. We gave up trying and then was told to do the optical. We did that and now have the surround sound. The problem is my husband is close to deaf and uses a Sony wireless headset. We have an optical splitter but headset won't work.we have tried the RCA cables from headset to receiver and nothing. I moved headset and connected to another TV and it works. Are we screwed with now not being able to use it with the LG? We did use them when we had cable. Thanks.

Arc on tv sometimes disables tv speakers but you can just lower tv speakers volume to 0 if you hear echo from both tv and surround sound.
Tampatec thanks!

Hi, I have Sony google tv model NSX-46GT1 and I am struggling to connect Sony BDV-E3100 surround sound system. I have 4 HDMI ports at back of my tv and I am not sure what settings I need to change in Sony google tv. Appreciate you help.
Yamaha RX-V379 receiver; Insignia TV. HDMI ARC compatible. AV2 default input for TV sound. Always worked over a period of two years. I never heard TV audio, not even once, through the TV speakers. Not a TV watcher here, but once or twice a year. Been six months since the last time I pulled TV audio through my sound system. Now TV audio won't play through the Yamaha. In between times, I hooked up our old VCR so my wife could watch a Xmas movie. I used AV2 as the audio hookups. Obviously, I have disconnected the cables to the VCR! I've gone through everything: Yamaha Setup to make sure HDMI is "ON", ARC, AV2, the TV speakers "OFF" (the Insignia says to turn the speakers off when using external speakers; but I have tried both ways to no avail). If my hair were not butched I'd have pulled it out by now.
Thanks for your help, now I can hear my TV threw my AV Receiver. The Unplug and Plugin method worked for me.
