Sorry, can't help you. But having difficulties doesn't surprise me. First the iPod connection stop working, then all the hdmi connections wouldn't work, and then 1 speaker started to cut out, and finally the amp started turning off after 5 minutes. All of this happened in 18 months. Got a $200 5.1 Yamaha now. Works great and sounds better than the Pioneer! Good luck.

Here's the info I got from Vizio when I asked them the same question. Hopefully it's applicable to Panasonic TV.These are the steps that you will need to take to enable ARC (Audio Return Channel):-Make sure audio receiver is ARC compatible and TV is ARC compatible.-Ensure that you have an HDMI 1.4 cable that is multi-directional-Use HDMI 1 on TV and it will need to be plugged into the HDMI OUT of receiver-Change Digital Audio to Dolby Digital-Turn off internal speakers-Turn CEC on-Ensure receiver is in TV control and in discoverable mode -Search for device under CEC menu - Select your audio receiver that shows under the menu-This will unlock System Audio Control (under CEC).

If optical is not working, HDMI pass throught will help for both video and audio. Also make sure the input for the optical on the receiver is setup correctly, on the back it will have TV or GAME as input for optical. Make sure the input is setup for either, and may have to cycle the inputs to make sure you have the right one.

I just tried for you it works fine. Its probably something to do with your devices arc is very poorly implemented it should work with any HDMI cable even ones made before arc was even a thing. Another thing most arc only supports 2 channel audio so if your serious about sound its not even an option.

I saw a few Denon receivers featuring the ability to convert analogue signal types (like component and composite) up to digital, but that feature is the exception. The rule is, if the source uses a type of connection, that same type of connection has to go from the receiver to TV.FYI, ARC just deals with passing audio back from a TV to the receiver. If, for example, you have your cable TV hooked up directly to the TV, or you're using the TV's built in tuner, and sometimes you want to pipe the audio out to speakers, ARC allows the TV AUDIO to be output to the receiver.

I've been having trouble with my adapter. I have a sharp 52" hdtv and I plug my phone and it will show on the screen but the video will then go black and come back then go black again. Right before the tv goes black it states there was an incompatible audio signal... Anyone help plz

I love this TV. It was a purchase of a lifetime for me. However, I NEVER could get the guide working properly. My cable system has it's own guide system, but sometime, I just want to watch just the TV, and use their guide. It keeps telling me that the guide is downloading overnight, but the next day, there is still NO guide information on the screen. If you got yours working, please tell me how you did it. Thanks "Emil"

I'm not sure about ARC, but it's connected with an HDMI cable. I have a Comcast Xfinity box that plugs into the system, then another HDMI runs to the TV. Then amazing sound comes out.

make sure the HDMI cable is plugged into the out jack on the back of your sound bar. you will also want to check your Vizio TV settings to make sure ARC is enabled.

Thanks Chris. Yes I checked the DVD player tp make sure it has DTS code. I didnt use the optical cable for the digital sound connection but I used the digital coax which I believe should work just fine on DTS. I called customer service but they answered via email and didnt really know how to solve the issue. I am disappointed at Pioneer receiver. Appreciate ur sharing with me. Thanks. By the way, does digital sound has some echo in it?

I purchased this item because I have an old SONY 35" tube TV. The coax coaction to the tuner broke, but the tube is still good. I took the coax line that was going into the TV and connected it to the RF IN of this device. I connected red/white audio jacks from this device's red/white AUDIO OUT into the TV's red/white AUDIO IN. I did the same with the yellow VIDEO jack connections. This works fine and I have never had a problem. Based on what how you describe your situation, I would speculate that this device will work for you as it does for me. Obviously I cannot be sure, but this device is still working just fine for me. The only difference is that you have plasma and I have a tube. Hope this helps.

I found that if the Youtube APP will not work then it is best to just go there directly with Safari. One of them will work. I prefer to just use Safari it has less problems with these types of AV cables. I hope this helps!

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

Our Panasonic BD220 stopped connecting to Netflix about two days ago. It hasn't resolved itself yet. Network connection seems to be good and I can stream other material (like youtube). Really frustrating. Only had the unit for about two months. Don't have time for dealing with Tech support right now though. Anyone else having weird spontaneous issues like this currently? (June 10, 2012).

not sure what audio outputs you have on your plasma, but I used an optical output on my LED TV. This is the audio input of the Yamaha ATS = Input Terminals: 2 Optical Digital, 1 Coaxial Digital. Check your TV if it has any of this audio outputs.

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.

I prefer to hook my critical video equipment, especially reference equipment, directly to my monitor. You can use the ARC HDMI to get TV sound out of the Receiver.there 'has' to be 'some' information lost in the translation, imo.

I have the same problem. I can only hear the audio over the Apple TV but not the video. If I had it to do over again I would buy a Roku. Apple the signal a lot.
