Hi Guys,
I am fairly new to the HDMI and home theatre technology!
Right so this is my question please.
I want to know if what I'm going to do will work as I want it to.
Ok so I have a Sony television, with 2 x HDMI ports - one which is ARC compatible.
I also have a Samsung Home Theatre system (with Smart TV), which has 1 x HDMI Input (as PC world describes it) and 1 x HDMI Output (ARC Compatible).
I also have a PC with a HDMI Video & Audio output which I want to interface with my Samsung theatre system, so music from my PC will output on my Home cinema system. (The video output is not necessary on the television as I will have a HDMI splitter at the PC end which will plug into my PC Monitor. I would just need the audio outputted through the cinema system)
Now, I presume I will need to connect the PC HDMI fed cable to the HDMI Input [on the Cinema system], and the television HDMI cable to the HDMI Output port (with ARC) of the cinema system?
Would this work!?
If not, what components or configuration would I need to achieve this?
My further question is I also want an additional output from my PC, which will feed a 3.5mm Auxiliary jack which will connect into one of those small speaker docks (with a AUX Input of course) - I believe I would need to again split the PC Audio & Video HDMI output and buy one of those Luxi audio extractors?
I hope someone can make head nor tail of the above!
Many thanks in advance.
Neil
