No sound when using Smart features with TV, via ARC HDMI, connected to Denon 4311CI receiver.I have this setup using an external receiver. Works great except when I f..e. want to watch netflix; great video but no sound. I tried different cables and I guess I could get an optical cable, but one would think that this should just work.

LG is infamous for the lack of ARC-why is the question of the year. Before you buy anything by LG, check the specs to see if it has ARC, assuming it is important to you. I returned my 55" because it lacked ARC. You will have to use an optical cable to run sound to an AVR.

You have to go in and change the sound setting to external device. i had the same issue at first.

No experience here. We just use it for a large computer monitor in our conference room.

Had the same issue with my Bly Ray and it ended being the settings in the Bly Ray to accept a smart TV. Different cable shouldn't fix it but it is an option. I have seen older receivers have issues sometime with these new smart TV's

It may be the receiver. Try switching to the red yellow and white cables. Or get WiFi speakers connected to TV

I also have some problems with the AnyNet controls and spent hours on the phone with Samsung trying to get my Pioneer receiver to work. They were no help and kept telling me to get new cables. Here is what I found if you set the sound to "receiver" and have the ARC HDMI cable connected to your receiver OUT port it will find it and the sound works. It even controls the volume but when you turnoff the TV the ANYNet control turns off the receiver like it should but when you turn on the TV my pioneer receiver takes a while to bring up the HDMI interface in fact you can hear the relays click in but by that time this has happened the TV thinks I have no receiver so it reverts back to the internal TV speaker. Very annoying to say the least the work around beside going to the menu and selecting receiver every time is to let the TV come on and turn on your receiver via ANYNET then use your receiver's remote and tune it off then back on and in a few seconds the TV sound is re-routed to your receiver as the TV recognizes the receiver is now there. Another option is to turn off the ANYNET on the systems menu (you have to select system then down arrow to find the ANYNET setting) and then just use a harmony remote to set up the turn-on sequence. By the way I did go by new cables just to make sure my $100+ cables were not the issue as they were before 4K, it made no difference and the picture was worse so back to the original HDMI cables. When I called back Samsung they finally said the ANYNet may not work with other manufacturers and that they could not be responsible for the implementation that Pioneer has done. I asked the tech to put in a ticket to their bugfix group to address the interface timing in their software but the person had no idea how to do this and kept telling me they had no timing in there system which anyone who has written and software knows is not true. Any way hope this helps and keep updating your software maybe they will get it fixed.

I never got an answer, but I was never successful getting the feature to work with my new receiver so I'm *pretty* sure that the TV doesn't have one. It hasn't bothered me since I barely need the feature [I watch youtube, etc. with my new wireless Samsung Blu-Ray and no longer from the TV's wi-fi], but I'll probably pick up a TOS optical cable to run from the TV to the receiver eventually.

I bought a Yamaha sound bar that only connects to my TV. On the back of it is the place to connect the TV to the soundbar. The TV said Digital sound and the Yamaha only has optical sound I had to get the extra cord to make the connection work properly. Apparently this is very common with many electronic devices. The cables are much more expensive at local retailers.

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.

Tv: make sure hdmi is connected in the hdmi marked ARC, also make sure tv setting has arc enabled. Denon: you will need to turn on 'HDMI controls', also you will need ARC enabled (if i remeber correctly ) and lastly you will need to set the source in the hdmi setting to tv.

Hi, I just bought this TV and I have a Netflix account. I'm trying to stream Netflix on my TV but I can't hear audio. I bought an HDMI cable and connected it to my Macbook Pro. This TV functions nicely as a giant monitor, but I want to be able to watch movies with the audio coming out of the TV. Does anybody know how to do this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! I was trying to find a Netflix ready icon on the box -- it doesn't have one. I'm assuming I can't?

Yes, The optical output to my Receiver works great! I had the same worries before I hooked it up. The HDMI cable went to my HDMI TV and the optical cable I had went to the receiver for my room soundaround speaker system. The TV speakers work also if you don't want to play the receiver, a earlier mention in another post said, he could not get his TV to play sound out the speakers.... NOT true the sound still travels thru the HDMI cable to the HD TV even with the Optical cable plugged in and ran to the receiver. The sound does not designate one or the other and comes out both. I just keep the volume on my HD TV to 0.

Yes. Had the same problem with the BD 390 and Netflix/YouTube. You need to dial the Resolution down to 1080i in order to get sound. I guess Netlix & YouTube don't support 1080p audio.Hope this helps!

I understand that there is a firmware update that supposedly fixes this issue. Also, it is my understanding that TV must be hooked up to initially set up and play audio CDs and SACDs. As I'm only interested in audio playback, this is important to know. Can anyone confirm? Perhaps L.Go since you have the unit and have played the disks.

Thanks for the response. I have a ONKYO SR505 and am connected like you are. With this A/V unit I must use the audio optical cable if I want surround audio to the speakers. I can use the HDTV speakers to get HDMI quality sound which defeats the purpose of having a surround system.

Hi Eddie.I use a Western Digital Live TV and a Set Top Box. Both connect via HDMI, and both sources have their audio duplicated and sent through the analogue headphone/speaker port. I connect PC speakers to that port and it works great.Greg

Like Peter said, not all TV's bridge the sound from an hdmi in to a stereo out(digital/coax etc..) Try using a different output port, or going hdmi to the stereo, and then hdmi to the tv

on the ex700 models of sony tv there is audio return channel (ARC) on HDMI 1 that gets sound back to the surround without using an optical cable if you don't hav an ARC then you need the optical cable to get the sound back.

Hi Notorious A.G.A, Did you succeed receiving sound from TV to external speakers using an optical cable? It doesn't seem to work for me. I'm using "External Speakers" setting in the TV with the receiver powered on. I hear nothing.

Oh, I forgot. You probably need optical cables too if u use a smart TV And Will Have The Sound Coming Out From The T.V directly as opposed to sound from your cable box.

I have a Sharp TV with the Aquos functions. The sound bar works fine with it. When the TV or the (Samsung) DVD player is turned on, the sound bar turns on. The sound bar has to be set to HDMI with the remote, it doesn't set itself. It comes with one HDMI cable and one optical cable. When I turn off the TV, the sound bar and the DVD player automatically turn themselves off.I have one HDMI cable from the DVD player to the sound bar, and a second HDMI cable from the sound bar to the TV. I run the optical cable from the TV to the sound bar for regular TV. The sound is not audiophile quality, but it's perfectly acceptable for our family use. I have a Sharp TV with the Aquos functions.
