Does anyone know how to get sound from the TV through the receiver using HDMI with ARC? I can't get the receiver to see the TV at all.

I am guessing you have a smart/web connected TV and you want the sound to come from the receiver. Check if your TV has an audio output either digital/optical . Look at your TV settings . I am guessing the TV has multiple HDMI ports. How would the TV know where to send the output ?

If you are using an HDMI cable from the TV output to the receiver you should have audio through the receiver. I assume that you have multiple inputs that are selected by the receiver and you have selected the input that is connected to the TV. I found that there are different audio configurations in the receiver that need to be selected also. The manual offers a lot of information but for me it's too difficult to understand. Try a different HDMI cable and/or input port to begin with.

This is true. I tried setting up my home theatre every way possible, but efter speaking to Sharp, they said you cannot use the audio optical out for HDMI. This is a shame. You must go directlyu from the audio source to the receiver via optical cable when using HDMI to the TV. No big deal, the TV is still awesome!

I didnt have an issue with mine. You have it the receiver to automatically detect and send audio? Maybe try a different HDMI?

I just use the ARC or audio return channel HDMI port with my tv. Your TV has to have an ARC too. Every brand has a different name for it, SHARP is auqos and SONY is bravo something. If you have this on your TV it is on the receiver and it will turn on and off and volume up and down with your TV. You will need the remote for the receiver for all the other programming on it though. Just hook the HDMI cable to the ARC port on your TV then to the receiver. Then turn them both on. Then when you power down the TV and directv your sound receiver will shut off too. If you have anything else with a ARC HDMI port (Blu-Ray) when you hook it up it will shut off the same way but the only thing that turns on with the TV is the sound receiver. hope this helps.

ARC is not the same thing as Component to HDMI conversion. Most AVRs in this lower price range do not do Component to HDMI conversion. This Yamaha model does not claim to do it.

Um, yeah that's a good question. I'm not saying u can't do it bit Not aware of a way to make the device work w/o going through my surround sound either. Honestly, even though I bought the device, sadly I came across the same thing and ended up not using it. However, you might be able to run optical out of th cable box and try that way. I'm really sorry I'm not much help but understand the frustrations

Can't speak to the Aquous 3d, but with my Panasonic and Tivo, I ran the cable from the wall to the TIVO, HDMI cable to any HDMI input on the tv, then run a second HDMI cable from the new speaker (HDMI output 3 labeled "AV out to TV") to TV. Cable from speaker to TV should be plugged into TV HDMI opening labeled "ARC". Hope it works....

You can connect it via a digital optical cable...not a big deal. Just purchase one. You will have to the same thing with most all audio systems since your TV doesn't support ARC.

Hi Jennifer, Have you had any luck yet with your receiver? The Amazon web page asked me to reply. If you've fixed your problem then ignore my ramblings. So a few questions first off. Did the receiver work before and then just stop? Did you add new components or change any of your settings? Check those first. :) Maybe try to connect your devices directly to the tv to see if they still work. Good luck

Yes, and by properly, i mean at all. I have my DVR hooked into HDMI 1, Bluray into HDMI 2, and latest HDMI rev cable plugged into ARC to a Vizio TV HDMI 1 (ARC) port. I cannot get sound back from TV (for instance with Netflix App) to soundbar. When I cycle thru HDMI inputs, HDMI ARC does not show up as an input. Would like to know if anyone else is having an issue or a setting I need to toggle in the TV.

Possible setup issue. But if you did it right and use hdmi arc it may be a defect. I only hear the relay clicks from the reciever but not popping sounds from the speakers. Try muting something outside your network like the radio and iPhone through usb. If it still pops I would say it's defective.

Thank you so much for your help. I was afraid no one was going to respond! The receiver does have ARC according to the manual. I will first try to connect without getting a set-top box from the cable company; but if that doesn't work, I will have to get one.

No there are no Audio outputs on this tv. Although if your audio receiver has hdmi, this tv can stream the audio through the HDMI Audio return Channel (ARC).

Yes, it is. HDMI2 is labeled ARC. We also have the 65 inch version of this TV and use the ARC audio setup with an external Samsung sound bar. It's a little funky, but it works fine 99% of the time. Sometimes the TV loses its pairing and you have to repair it and/or select external speakers in the menu, but for the most part it works. The smaller version has the same port on the back which supports the ARC thing from what I can see.

I'm not aware of any solutions apart from utilizing the headphone out on your audio receiver. With a TV this nice you've got a sound system, right? ;-)

I believe it to be true and originally ran HDMI to the TV (DirecTV HD-DVR and PS3) and then optical audio out to my receiver. The sound just didn't "pop" out and then I read the TV manual on a whim and couldn't believe that the output only is in 2-channel. I later read somewhere that it is intentional for copyright reasons. Unfortunately, my Surround Sound Receiver also has an annoying limitation whereby it switches HDMI but does not extract the audio from the HDMI connection. So, the workaround for me was to connect the HDMI (for video only) to the TV, keep the TV volume at zero, and connect the digital audio sources from the components to the receiver (which only has two optical audio inputs.) The sound and audio were offset but most good receivers will let you adjust to get them back in-sync.
