Okay - thanks very much for your help 10tacle - I appreciate it.

My model is mid-range - and there is good airflow around the receiver - but it sounds like it might be just that port - so unless anyone else tells me that I definitely need a new receiver - I guess I will wait to see what happens

This is probably a stupid question and I apologize in advance: Last night my TV went black - after trying everything I could think of I called Comcast. The excellent technician guided me through many steps as he said that the cable box was fine from his end. He finally had me plug the HDMI...

Thanks everyone - very helpful

Thanks. Am I correct that using the ARC port would limit the sound to the 2 channel that the TV is capable of? And there's another wrinkle as well - I asked on Amazon if I could make these connections and a rep from Sony answered "the purpose of the HDMI ARC of this unit is to carry both audio...

My TV is an LG UF7600. It is a smart TV but I use the smart function on my Samsung Blu Ray Player. All I need to hook up via HDMI is my cable box and my blu ray. The TV has 3 HDMI ports - one is an ARC port - but I don't want to use the ARC port since the TV has only 2 channel sound (I think)...

Thanks - can I NOT use the ARC port on the TV - use one of the other HDMI IN ports? Sorry for my technical ignorance.

I am looking to purchase a really good sound bar - I am open to suggestions - there seem to be a lot of them. The Sony HT ST9 looks good but the Bose 130 also looks good - both are highly rated. I also don't understand exactly how a sound bar works - I know it's virtual surround but does it...

I am thinking of getting a sound bar with three HDMI in and an HDMI out. Can this be connected in the same way a receiver would be? Plug the cable box and blue ray into the sound bar and then out to the TV? I don't want to use the ARC port on the TV because my TV doesn't support 5.1 sound and...

Thank you so much. Very helpful. I was able to turn it off in the BD. I watched the exact same segment of a show on Netflix with the upscaling off and with it on. There was no discernible difference so I went ahead and left it on. Thanks again.

Here is another probably stupid question for the helpful folks on this forum: I have a new LG 55UF7600, a new Samsung BD -J7500 and a new Denon Receiver AVR-S710W. I have the Bluray and cable box connected via HDMI to the receiver and then the receiver to the TV via HDMI. The TV and the Bluray...

One last stupid question. Can I still connect my receiver to the HDMI ARC input on the TV even though I am not enabling the ARC function? Thank you.

Thank you so much, Very clear and understandable. So using receiver settings bypasses telling TV anything. Thanks for your help.

That makes sense. The Denon manual (Under connecting a TV) says: "Use an HDMI cable to connect a TV that is compatible with the ARC function to this unit. Set “HDMI Control” to “On” when using a TV that supports the ARC function". Can I NOT set the ARC function to on? Also - I cannot find out...
