I have connected my Samsung 55" Ultra HD Smart TV the following way but am having trouble getting surround sound. The Antenna from the wall is connected direct to a DVD Recorder and then connects out to the TV's in terminal. The DVD Recorder then connects via HDMI cable direct to a Yamaha AV Receiver 5.1 RX-379 which in turn connects via an HDMI cable direct to the TV's HDMI ARC inlet. I can now watch TV via the DVD remote or via the TV remote. However with the DVD remote I can get perfect surround sound, but when I switch to watch TV or a streamed movie via the TV's remote I get only the TV speakers and not surround sound. I am off my tree looking for solutions as watching Netflix, Foxtel etc on just the TV's speakers is not good ( I am unable to watch these via the DVD remote). Can anyone suggest a solution? Cheers
