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...

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

I got mine to work using the arc input. I tried all others and it would not work. Same hdmi cable just a different port on my tv/soundbar.

Does your receiver have an "optical" output? If it does, try hooking that to the Soundbar. Have an HDMI and an Optical hooked up and they both work fine . . . . .

actually to follow up, I actually do not own a HDMI capable a/v receiver. I am currently running my A-30 by HDMI to televsion for VIDEO purposes ONLY, and then I have the OPTICAL cable running to my Denon a/v receiver. However, the sound is good, but some movies I have to really turn up the volume to catch "soft" dialogue, then all of a sudden during an action sequence, the volume is way too loud. I find myself constantly turning up and down the volume throughout some movies.Will the A35 model improve the bitstreaming with the optical cable? Or would I get a better sound if I just used standard RCA audio wires and change my set up to analog 5.1 on my Denon Reciever? actually to follow up, I actually do not own a HDMI capable a/v receiver.

Using optical from cable box, sounds like tv has a stereo signal cable box i have has no sound at all via HDMI i think the tv would pass it thru if it were available. oh optical is into philips 5.1 blu ray system always on to opti in or fm radio tuner.

I just bought this at BB for $99...I have it hooked up to my new 55 inch Samsung Smart TV....sounds great. I use the HDMI Arc feature with AnyNet+. There is a noticeable difference in sound quality over tv speakers especially with streaming movies and DVD/Blueray. I have my tv in a small to medium sized room...if you have a larger room consider something larger.

I dont seem to be having that problem. Make sure you are using an optical cable or HDMI w/A.R., not RCA plugs. Or, if your TV has the ability, shut off the internal speakers.

only tv I have found it works with was an older model flat screen tv my room mate has. my advice would be to return it or sell it as used and buy a sound bar with optical out as an option. newer tvs no longer use the old red and white audio in option.

i connected all of my hdmi devices to the sound bar including the TV which is plugged in to hdmi 1; i also used the digital audio out (optical) connex. All sound/video feeds through just fine. I just switch the input to hdmi port (hdmi 1 for tv, hdmi 2 for dvd/blu ray, hdmi 3 for roku).

That looks like what I have. I plug an optical plug from my Apple TV to that device but, in my case, then run analog from that to an Smart Board. I would assume, with the right cable connection, you could make it work with headphones. I will tell you that sometimes I've failed to get sound. As I recall, it has always been when reconnecting. Each time I unplugged and replugged in each connecting element and it would work.

I found the best sound was directly to my TV with an HDMI cable. I tried running an Optical Audio cable to my cable box and it caused a sound delay which was really annoying, but you can also connect the Optical cable from your TV directly to your Panasonic SoundBar, but it wasn't any better than just the HDMI to me so the less wires the better for me. Good luck with it, I love mine, I've had it a couple years now and it works great, I have another one in my theatre room.

This is true. I tried setting up my home theatre every way possible, but efter speaking to Sharp, they said you cannot use the audio optical out for HDMI. This is a shame. You must go directlyu from the audio source to the receiver via optical cable when using HDMI to the TV. No big deal, the TV is still awesome!

Your receiver should support ARC (Audio Return Channel), make sure it is enable on the receiver. That's how the sound from my over the air tv get's back to the receiver

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?

Sorry but mine was DOA. It was returned and a replacement of same model requested. It too was DOA. I never got to try it but bought the Onkyo instead. It feeds video directly from DirecTV to HDMI TV (Sharp Acquos) and audio to the Onkyo unit and to my very fine Onkyo receiver. A few problems understanding the proper speaker hookup were quickly solved by a phone call to Onkyo tech service, a rare phenomenon indeed these days!

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.

I still tried - adjusted the receiver and TV - now when i increase the TV volume and if the receiver is on - it increases the receiver volume with the same TV remote - so definitely the TV and receiver are linked - but still i don't hear the tv sound - I assigned a AV port 4 and i cant listen anything on that port 4 on the receiver. the analog sound out from tv goes to 2 and when i switch the receiver to port 2 - i hear the sound.
