Is the HDMI connection with TV two way? or do I need a separate connection to use the HT system when I am watching netflix in my smart TV?

I have my computer hooked up to the tv. So I took a sound cable between both, and a HDMI cable. The sound cable was 13$ at best buy. I hope this answers the question

As long as your tv supports ARC (audio return channel) you should be fine i watch home movies on my smart tv with no problem. I hope this helps.

This HT supports ARC (Audio Return Channel) via hdmi. So if your tv also supports ARC then you don't need a separate connection for sending tv audio to HT. Just ensure to connect your HT hdmi OUTto the hdmi on tv that supports ARC; most recent TVs should have atleast one.

Yes, it is two way, since my TV has a HDMI ARC.I do watch Netflix from the TV app.

This is one way. It has 3 inputs (for your HDMI devices) and one output (goes to your TV, A/V Receiver, etc). They can't do what you stated.

I just bought this TV, too, but don't have it yet. Do you mean does it come with Internet apps or something? It doesn't. You can hook up a PC display to it, per the specs. You need an external device to connect to the Internet. In regard to watching Netflix on the TV, have you considered getting Roku? It's a very small device you use for streaming on your TV instead of (or also in conjunction with) using your PC. I love it and have the XD which will be used with this Panasonic when it comes. I also just ordered Roku 2 XS (on sale on Amazon) which will be used on the Sony I'm currently using the XD on when that comes. They have a Roku LT, which is cheaper than these two and is $50-$60. There are also channels for all Rokus, though the better ones (like Netflix) charge a fee. Still, cheaper than cable/satellite and you don't have to have your PC on to watch them on TV. You can check them out either on Amazon or Roku.com. Easy to set up and to use, too. BTW, since you already have streaming Netflix to your PC, there would be no additional charge using Netflix with Roku and watching on your TV. You would just need to activate the Roku device through Netflix. Hope this helps you enjoy Netflix on your TV. :)

No, Most newer model TV's such as the Smart TV uses the HDMI cord. If you are hooking up a DVD/Blu Ray player check to make sure it is compatible before you purchase.

Yes, you do. It can act as a pass through but you need to change the feeds if you have 2 devices hooked up. I have Netflix and my DVD recorder hooked to it. I don't have enough hdmi connections on my TV so that's why I have the spliter.

If you have an HDMI connection on your HDTV, yes it works great. I have Netflix and hooked up my Asus Zen tablet to stream movies without any problems. Also, if you use a wireless mouse and keyboard, you can surf the net using the TV as the monitor.

Yes, it is in the setup portion of the TV. You can go into the settings and change it to start up directly to cable. I have digital cable and it starts directly to that, I can switch to the Smarthub (Apps) page with one click of the remote thought when I want to watch Netflix or Youtube.

No, you cannot hook it up to your TV with just wireless. You still need the HDMI cable. The wi-fi is for netflix and other offered services.

Nop, it has mini-hdmi output, you need to buy a cable that has une side minihdmi and the other hdmi and you are done.

No. This device is to connect the older style vga connections, such as those found on older laptops, to an HDMI connector found on newer tv's. I used it to allow me to send the picture on my older laptop (that has a VGA OUT) to my new, larger flat screen (that only has an hdmi input). IF you have netflix on your laptop this device will let you send it via your VGA OUT jack to your HDMI TV.

In regard to answer from shizzyvill, before you decide to use the connection suggestion, we had only one working HDMI input that is working on our Samsung LN42B360 which we discovered too late to use the warranty for replacement. We ordered the Dvds from Netflix.

Yes, I suppose so. It has two HDMI outlets, and one USB outlet. Also, the TV came with an insert advertisment for Netflix. So I suppose that the USB hookup is for internet. But I dont use internet on my TV.

Unfortunatly the unit has to be powered on and has no pass thru. Although there is a solution to your problem. You can split the HDMI signal with a J-Tech Quality HDMI splitter, which Amazon sells. One can go directly to the TV from source 1 and the other can go to the HDMI amp from source one.

oh yes, you have to purchase a stereo rca with audio/video conections and plug it to a stereo y splitter and connect it to the pc in! Best to have a hi def tv! Excellent stereo sound! I watch netflix in stereo!

According to Samsung tech support only the MHL port and ARC hdmi port supports HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 and it has built in support for HEVC H.265 as well as a oneconnect port for future upgradeability which Samsung guarantees for 4 yrs. FYI other external 4K devices also need to support HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 to view 4k, if not you get downgraded to 1080p. Oneconnect box not included. As of now you need to make sure when shopping for 4k whether it is a tv, receiver, or any other UHD/4k device that all of the hdmi ports support hdmi 2.0 and hdcp 2.2 or if not at least the ARC port supports it and/or there is an upgrade path. It also needs to support 4k at 24/30/60hz (60 right now is primarily being used by online streaming companies like netflix and amazon) and has HEVC H.265 supoort. Also while most people will tell you that current 10.2 gbps High speed hdmi cables will be good for everything meaning no need to upgrade be aware that current HDMI 10.2gbps high speed cables do not support 4k at 60hz also refered to as 60fps. They max out at 4k@24hz with some managing 4k@30hz. The hdmi.org has raised the the speed to 18gbps for the new hdmi spec. So i recommend getting HDMI cables that is rated at least 18 gbps and supports 4k@60Hz. Don't over pay. Monoprice is just starting to get the 18gbps cables now and others will be too. Keep in mind you only will need new cables just for devices that use 4k@30hz/fps and above which there none right now except for a $299 streaming device that is coming out soon. As of now 4K Blu-ray specs have not been finalized yet so it will be a while before we devices. Cable/sat devices also will take a long while to make the change. So most of your 4k content niw will come from the built in tv apos like netflix and 4k proprietary media players or hard drives with 4k contentent like the samsung one. This tech is really 1 to 2 years at the earliest from fully taking off.

This device is used strictly for connecting VGA port to hdmi. Surround system, netflix, & hammerhead device not related issues

Works great, have the same set-up and use it to watch netflix and youtube on several different tv's. You will need an hdmi cable to connect to the tv.
