This is not an easy thing to find. Imagine it's 2010. That's when I purchased the Panasonic 50" with the bluray home theatre system. There's a lot about connecting tvs and blurays online. There's a lot about blu rays and connecting to a/v receivers. But I can't find anything that tells me if I've got a TV aith ARC on it, how to set up the cable box (STB), the ROKU and the bluray av receiver.
So, currently, the ARC HTMI out of the tv goes to the bluray home theatre. HTMI in
The HTMI out on the STB is going into HTMI 2 on the TV. There is only one HTMI in on the A/V.
The ROKU is going into the HTMI 3 on the TV.
I can sort of use the VIERA on the TV, but I still have to manually change inputs from "Cable" to "ROKU" and back after watching ROKU. Not a big whoop, Have never gotten it to work.
I thought I needed an optical out from the cable to the A/V so I would get better sound, but I can disconnect that and nothing changes.
When clicking thru the choices for sound, 5.5, 7.1, 2.1, "music" "movie" the only differences is whether sound comes from all the surround speakers are just three... the quality of the center is always lower... And I can only "fix" by going into the bluray setup. ... Does that affect the sound when watching Cable? We do get surround... but it just doesn't seem "right"
I know this wasn't an expensive system ... so is that it? Does it look like I've got this set up correctly? BTW, the Coaxial cable comes into the STB and the HTMI goes out to the TV.
