Does it have hdmi in to accomodate a hdmi arc from tv. Can i pass a wired audio out to other devices. What are its inputs and output connections.

Yes it has HDMI one in & three out. The only problem is that when using the HDMI it turns off the other speakers so if anyone is watching with you they have no sound. It also has rca in & outs and optic in & outs. I use the optics and they work great.

There is an optical out and an optical in. I think it merely passes the information from the optical in to the optical out, as well as playing info from your optical in to the headphones. I have not used the RCA ins and outs, so I don't know how they work.It has three hdmi ins and one hdmi out, i.e. it has three places to collect hdmi info, and one place to distribute it.

The HDMI transmits the audio, but if you want to connect it to speakers, like powered computer speakers you can. Also you can get a 3.5 to RCA red and white cable to plug in to a receiver if its older and didn't have a hdmi port on it. That way you might have something louder than most tvs put out.

My TV doesn't have ARC either but I was able to use a digital audio cable to get the TV sound to the receiver. You can also use optical audio cable.

I assume you are looking to run the audio out from TV to an audio receiver or similar. The Audio Return Channel (ARC) running through the HDMI connector labeled for ARC appears to only support stereo (2 channel) audio. The original source should be irrelevant. I have a Sony 7.1 channel audio receiver hooked up and attempted to run all my sources (Verizon FIOS box, PS3, etc) directly into the TV and then have it forward the audio to the receiver via ARC in order to avoid having to use the HDMI video switching in the receiver. However I found that it took my 7.1 sources and only passed through 2 channels (L/R)!!! It's not clear whether the TV internals or the connection is limiting this, but if you dig into specs you'll see that the quality of audio that you'll get via ARC is dependent on what the device is built to send through and TVs often only support 2ch as their own built-in speakers are limited to this. With this TV however, you do have the option of using the optical audio out connector from the TV to receiver which does support 5.1. It does NOT support 7.1. Since I refuse to have two useless speakers I had to wire all sources back through the A/V receiver first and then a single HDMI out to the TV so the TV is not in the audio path at all. The drawback is less clean input source changing but I can live with that. The only exception is when the TV itself is the audio source for example when using the Apps like Skype, Amazon VoD, HBO Go, etc. For those I used the optical audio out from TV mentioned above which results in a good 5.1 to my audio system (I doubt the apps or their content really support 7.1 anyway). Sorry for the lengthy explanation, but as I learned there are a lot of details to this. If you only care about 5.1 and not 7.1, then I suggest you use the optical audio instead of ARC and then it should work fine at the very least for any HDMI input to the TV (I haven't tried any others).

Can't tell from pictures and the info on your TV whether it has any kind of outputs (RCA or headphone out). If your sound currently gets to your TV through HDMI, you'll need some kind of output from the TV, unless the source (Bluray, cable box etc) has audio outputs separate from HDMI. In the latter case, you can just use a mini stereo or aux cable and run it to the sound bar. It also accepts Bluetooth, if you have a PC, phone, or tablet that has Bluetooth you can pair it.

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.

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.

No hdmi at all. The larger plug shown in the picture connects to the xbox. The individual component cables are for video into the tv. There is a optical audio outlet if you don't need the analog audio out's.Quality is very good. I never noticed a difference after changing to hdmi

It does. HDMI #1 is ARC so you need to connect your HDMI cable from Cable / DVD / game box to sound bar then to HDMI input # 1. Reference: http://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/hdmi-arc-explained-works-care/ I used an HDMI splitter and have the sound bar working with my TV using three inputs Sat TV, DVD, and Game Station.

HDMI carries both audio and video. I have mine plugged into a 24 inch TV. The audio comes through the TV speakers. If you want more sound such as surround sound connect a sound system to the TV.

The device you're connecting to is most likely not HMDI Audio Return Channel (ARC) capable, if you read in the instruction manual it says you can only use the HDMI with devices that are ARC capable. I personally connect mine through the SPDIF / optical connection, optical cables are cheap if you look around online, and most modern TVs within the past 3 or 4 years all have SPDIF outputs. The SPDIF jack kind-of looks like a USB type-b acceptor but with a flap over it. I would suggest seeing if your TV or other device has this.

I believe there would be no advantage to hooking up your sound bar to the TV if your TV does not have and ARC HDMI. Here's what HDguru says about ARC HDMI: "Audio Return Channel is a feature built into the latest versions of HDMI (1.4, and presumably future versions). In its most basic description, ARC sends audio from the TV back down the HDMI cable to something like a soundbar, home theater in a box, and even a few A/V receivers. Previously, this two-way data transfer only carried handshake info, to tell the source things like "yep, I'm a TV" and "nope, I'm not stealing your content," or CEC control data. CEC, or Consumer Electronics Control, let you control multiple devices with one remote... in theory and as long as they were connected with HDMI and had the CEC feature. This never worked in reality as well as it did on paper, with cross-brand compatibility being hit or miss. ARC uses aspects of CEC, letting you adjust the volume on a soundbar, for example, with the TV remote. In most ARC products, the soundbar and TV essentially act as one device, with just a single button push to power them both on (no programming required). The basic ARC functionality, sending audio out of the TV, varies in potential and implementation. On one level, it can send audio from internal TV sources (like the HDTV tuner, or built-in web streaming apps). On another level, it can send out the audio from other HDMI sources (presumably to a soundbar). In this instance, your TV becomes the central hub, with all sources plugged into it. This would be the natural way most people, at least those without receivers or HDMI-switching soundbars, would have their systems set up anyway. Adding a soundbar would require no further setup than one new HDMI cable. The TV switches all the sources, and the audio for each one (BD player, cable box, etc), would get sent to a soundbar or HTIB."

It suppose to choose hdmi(arc) first, then optical, and then analog if hdmi and optical is not connected. My nr828 shows analog only. And you cant change it manualy like i do on my cambridge audio. Interesting fact that when you look to your connections in setting it doesnt show that i have an analog connection because i dont, and shows the optical one as i used optical cable to connect my tv, despite that fact that i have an ARC hdmi on my tv

Yes it does support ARC. You should be able to play through the home theater

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).

It does have one digital coaxial audio output, but I haven't tested that. Other than that, it's just HDMI.My system goes from the Blu-Ray player to my TV, then my TV outputs optical audio to my sound system. If my sound system was a bit newer, it would probably have HDMI pass through and that wouldn't be an issue, but alas, it's not.

It has 4 HDMI inputs, one HDMI output. HDMI carries both video and audio. It also has line-in RCA type audio jacks, plus optical audio in. My cable box, my BluRay, my Apple TV connect via HDMI for both video and audio. My HDTV connects to the HDMI out. I connect my CD player via RCA jacks. I also have a turntable connected, but had to place an external phono pre-amp ($15) between it and the receiver, also connected via RCA jacks. Hope this helps. I like the receiver, great product for a great price.
