Can you get the sound directly from Netflix tv app through this unit or do you have to have your Blu-ray player on? I have a Panasonic 60" vt60.

The soundbar has multiple inputs....optical, coax and RCA so you should be able to hook up just about anything.

I have a Sony internet TV. I get Netflix through Wi Fi. Sound connection from TV to AT Soundbar is optical. I do not have to have Blu-ray player on.Ron Perkins 12/10/13

Yes but it degrades the picture. I returned it. My Panasonic TV gets Netflix direct but NO subtitles. Panny admitted it and gave me have off this thing but running netflix thru that ruined the picture.

Thanks Richard! I'll try the reboot first. I almost bought a Roku but needed a dvd player so just got that. So I can hook up the Roku and still have the blu ray player while using the Roku for streaming?I appreciate your advice!

You need the software to play the unit. The software does not work on my machine. I even had a IT guy come install and it still had error when trying to play Blu Ray.

I bought this specifically to extract Netflix audio but it didn't work for me. Regardless of where I set the audio switch on the adapter I still have to set Netflix to a standard stereo signal to hear anything. I feed my digital signal into a Radio Shack AV switch, then into a Sony receiver.

I'm glad to inform you that the Blu-ray Player support Netflix. I have provided a link where you can get more information about activating it and making the network connections. http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/topic/BD-P1400

I just had a similar problem occur. Our Netflix just stopped streaming on our Panasonic today. Can't figure this one out. I have tried everything and nothing seems to work. I just keep getting a message that says unable to connect to Netflix. I can connect to everything but Netflix, so I know that it is not my connection. Did you happen to find a solution?

You can get the netflix app from amazon app store and it will work but the videos and the sound are not in sync. It's very jerky. I'm not sure if there is a way to make it work better or not.

I have a Sony Home Theater Blu Ray surround sound system and no problems. On my Sony I turned Audio setting for the HDMI off. All sound goes through the Optical Cable. I also have BluRay disk set with External Speaker only sound. I'm really guessing the problem is in your Yamaha set up or wires. Just ensure optical wire is pushed all the way in. Good luck.

Audio and video are separate. The signals (audio and video) come out perfect from this device and I love it! I purchased it, because I have an older Harmon Kardon Receiver with no HDMI capabilities. I wanted to have the 5.1 Dolby Digital and DTS surround sound...from my new Blu-ray player. My new Blu-ray player only had the HDMI connection, so I needed the converter to run the 1080p video to my TV and I used the optical out (on the converter) to get the 5.1 signal to my old receiver. The converter has HDMI out and Optical out. This device is meant to send audio to a device (such as my older receiver) that do not have HDMI input. The Optical out (via fiber optic cable) carries the sound. The HDMI out goes to the TV...for video and the optical goes to the receiver, or audio device. HDMI carries audio and video in one cable, so I am not sure about what you are trying to do. Bottom line...this converter will take your HDMI signal and split the audio and video. The video will go out through the HDMI and into your video display and the audio will come out of the optical connection. If your audio device does NOT have an optical connection, this device will not work for you. You mention 2 channels. Are you trying to send sound to 2 speakers (stereo mode) from your slingbox? If so, I would recommend buying a receiver with HDMI inputs. I am not 100% sure about what you are trying to do, but I am sure I can help you figure out how to fix your problem. I have been dealing with A/V equipment since the late 80's. If you tell me all the audio and video equipment you have, I can probably tell you exactly what you need. It looks like you may be looking at the wrong device, for what you are wanting to do.

I think you can access audio through the unit through the HDMI set up - pretty sure . Once set up it would be the same as accessing movies just use the audio section

The strong point of this unit is playing Blu Rays, that it's THX certified and has all sorts of adjustments. In re wi fi, I have mine hooked up to a hub, so you ought to check out their website. But if you get the Onkyo amp I have, both work together seamlessly. In fact, that is one of the main reasons I bought both. I would also add that this unit isn't the greatest to use for internet functions like Netflix which it does work with; but again if you have the amp I have then there is a separate HDMI PC channel, so that if you have a reasonably fast laptop (for example) you can access Netflix &c via the laptop and feed it thru the amp. The amp is most definitely wi fi you don't need any adapter. But with the amp and the PC you get far more internet options and the access to the particular service (Neflix for example) is much much faster. Once you're connected tho, there is no real difference, although the menus for the services, especially Netflix, works much better via the PC. Hope that helps

If you don't have any AV receiver/amplifier connected to your blu disc player, then you really have to rely on your TV speaker. If this is your set-up, you can't turn off your TV to enjoy listening to your CD music.

It happens to me when I did not set the audio output to PCM (from the source) in Netflix occurs in some languages. Not sure if we are talking about the same.

I'm not a Netflix guy, but I believe if you are using your TV to access Netflix via WiFi you need to output the audio to the STR DN850 and select TV as the Input. You can use an Optical Audio Cable to pass the audio signal from your TV to the STR DN850. I do access Pandora from my TV and pass the audio to the STR DN850 and it works for me.Alternatively, if you have another device that can access Netflix (i.e. a Blue Ray Disc player) you could access Netflix via that device and pass the audio/video via HDMI to the DN850 and then the video to the TV. That should work as well.

Blu-Ray to HDMI and the sound bar using the Digital Audio out. That's how I have mine. Works fine but not too impressed with the sound quality of the speakers. Ok if used with TV speakers.
