I recently bought a Samsung UHD TV Smart TV and am using Yamaha receiver with 5.1 surround.
I had to install the optical cable from TV to Yamaha receiver and then set your receiver to
Audio-1 so you can then hear Netflix ! Good Luck

I cannot get any sound through my receiver when using netflix app from my samsung un55f6300. I am using ARC HDMI input and I tried an optical cable to the receiver. Do I need to change any settings on the tv, app or stereo? If anyone can help let me know. My receiver is a denon X400

Great article Eric, I learned a lot, and it was very clear. Method 2 works for me, but I tried method 4 with the ARC capability (tv, receiver, and hdmi cable have the capability), I activated ARC on both the tv and the receiver through the set up menus, kept my receiver on the hdmi channel, and it does not work: I still get the sound from the directv, with the image of the tv app (Netflix, YouTube, etc.) I have no idea why this does not work ?

Also, for other components (cable box, media player and blu ray player), I have a conventional setup where the components are connected to the receiver via HDMI and one HDMI cable goes from the receiver to the video in of the TV. This works well and I want to keep it the same way while being able to do the items above (Netflix and Chromecase on surround sound).

Eric, Is there any problem in using both an HDMI and a digital optical cable to get sound? How does the TV know which cable to use as sound? it seems it is the only way to get sound from my smart TV Apps and my Satellite TV to work on my surround sound. Both are wanting to use the ARC input on the receiver but I only have one ARC input on my receiver. I have a Samsung 7150 smart TV.

My new Samsung Smart TV is connected via HDMI/ARC to my AV Pioneer receiver. The TV can turn ON/OFF the receiver, and the TV can steer the receivers volume.
Problem is, that after turning both products off via the TV remote control, the receiver is turned on by itself the next day!
How is that possible?

Very helpful article. My TV has the HDMI/Arc input which I have connected from TV to cable box. I have digital optical from receiver to cable box. What do I need to do to get sound out of my surround system for the Smart apps. Little confused here.

Thanks alot for the info its simple n straight forward helped me save the hassle of connecting optical cable unnessarily to my first home theatre system denon awr-2200 and tannoy tfx 5.1 + uhd48 samsung tv..

I bought new lg tv version 55uh850t in jan 17. And i have bose home theatre 520 soundtouch system. Now the problem is when i share any video to my tv the sound does not come from my home theatre but when i switch to internal speaker of tv then sound is coming from tv. I have already connected a hdmi cable from tv(arc) to home theatre. But when i am using optical cable then sound is coming through my home theatre. This is the problem with only mobile sharing video to tv. Not with other connection. All are working fine. Pls give me a solution.

Thank you! New Samsung smart TV and relatively new receiver that both had ARC! This solved our app audio issue (we had the tv hdmi in the wrong port) Samsung support was no help, so glad I found your article or tv may have been thrown out the window.

I have ARC input and outputs but can still not get surround sound while watching streaming channels. Receiver was returned and all there tests indicate it was fine, fully operational. Got high speed HMDI cable still no solution. The surround sound works for DVD and cable stations but not for streaming channels, someone say changing settings in the streaming channels. Need help.

This article is fantastic, I could connect my Yamaha RX-V477 to my TV Samsung Q60-R using HDMI ARC cable and ports, therefore my streaming TV services can feed my AV Receiver with Dolby surround sound!!! But it has a trick, you need to try many HDMI cables as possible, the first one was not working as ARC for me, and this is not specified in the cable (ARC compatible or not). I live in Brazil.

Hi everybody! I have a problem with getting audio from my Apple TV to play through my home theater system. I have a Samsung blu-ray player that has two speakers and a subwoofer connected to it. My Apple TV is connected to my TV by hmdi and my blu-ray player is alo connected to my tv by hdmi. I have tried to connect my Apple TV to the blu-ray player by an optical audio cable. I do not have a receiver or anything. I want all audio from the apple TV to go through the speakers of the Samsung blu-ray player and not the TV. How do I do this?

The blu-ray player has an optical port. I am not sure if it is an input. Do you know what settings the Apple tv has to be on to have the audio go through the optical port,and not the hdmi cable and into the tv speaker?

yes. The Apple TV is connected to my TV by hdmi, and to the blu-ray player by optical audio. I want all audio from the Apple TV to go through the blu-ray players speaker system. Netflix and air-play and so on.

....btw...I assume you are connecting optical from AppleTV directly to the speaker system not optical from the TV assuming passthrough from HDMI - many TVs will not relay digital audio signals from HDMI.

Are you wondering whether to use Dolby Digital or DTS or perhaps Dolby Atmos or DTS:X for your home theater? With the constant creation of new audio formats, it can be difficult to determine which one is right for your needs.

As home cinema equipment continues to advance, several new surround sound formats have emerged in the consumer market, all claiming to deliver accurate audio reproduction. But which format truly lives up to that promise?

Dolby Digital is a digital audio technology developed by Dolby Laboratories. It is widely used in home theater systems, DVDs, Blu-ray discs, and streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video.

Dolby Digital uses perceptual coding to compress audio data, which means that it can deliver high-quality audio even at lower bitrates. Dolby Digital supports up to 5.1 channels of surround sound, which means that it can deliver directional sound effects and a more immersive audio experience than stereo audio.

DTS is another digital audio technology that is used for surround sound. DTS uses a different method of compression than Dolby Digital, called adaptive transform coding, which can result in higher bitrates and better sound quality.

DTS can support up to 7.1 channels of surround sound, which means that it can provide even more immersive audio than Dolby Digital. DTS is widely used in home theater systems, Blu-ray discs, and streaming services like Vudu and Hulu.

Both Dolby Digital and DTS can be lossy or lossless, meaning that they can either slightly degrade audio quality from the original source or offer lossless studio-level performance while still providing some level of space-saving compression.

Both formats utilize additional technologies like encoders that are specifically designed to enhance stereo and simulate surround sound, as well as an older Pro-Logic standard for simulating surround sound.

The choice between Dolby Digital and DTS ultimately comes down to personal preference and the specific use case. Both technologies can deliver high-quality audio for home theater systems, but DTS may be superior for those who prioritize music and sound effects.

The 4KEX40-eARC HDMI Extender also supports 4K UHD video resolution and eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel), which allows you to transmit high-quality audio from your TV to your home theater system with just one HDMI cable. With its reliable and stable transmission, this extender is a great option for those who want to enjoy a superior audio experience without any interruptions.

Dolby Digital and DTS are both excellent audio technologies for home theater systems. The choice between the two ultimately comes down to personal preference and the specific use case. DTS may be superior for those who prioritize music and sound effects, while Dolby Digital is still a popular choice and can provide excellent audio quality for movies and TV shows.

To enjoy Dolby Digital or DTS audio, you will need a device that supports the format and speakers that can reproduce the surround sound effects. Many modern home theater systems, soundbars, and streaming devices support Dolby Digital and DTS, so you may not need to purchase any additional equipment.
