How to connect JVC TH-G51 receiver to Hisense smart tv for surround sound

[Zakt57]

I'm having trouble connecting the two I've tried using both HDMI and audio/video cables. No luck yet

Does your TV has ARC on HDMI?
Does your receiver support ARC on HDMI?
Do your TV and receiver have SPDIF (optical or coax) connections?

Note: Hisense TVs are not that popular, you might want to include model number / URL for manual.

The tv does have arc however the reciever only has an hdmi in/out so I put one end in the tv's arc and the receiver in the in part of the hdmi. I also set the receiver to the HDMI in for the source option, still nothing

Your receiver should support ARC, too.
If you use cable / dish settop box, you should run it thru the receiver, that way you will get surround.

If this is your JVC - no mention of ARC there. It's "all-in-ine" box, it is not meant to have advanced features.

So for the jvc reciever it should be correct the way I have it hooked up(tv-arc hdmi port) (reciever-hdmi IN) with the source being HDMI in for the receiver?

Your JVC does not support ARC, period.
If you have dish / cable box: connect it to the JVC.
The only other way to get (stereo) sound is to connect head-phones (or optical-out) output of the TV to the receiver' input.

Awesome, I'll give that a try. Should I have to adjust any settings or just plug and play?

It should go cable box hdmi out to jvc hdmi in, then jvc hdmi out to the tv hdmi in. Nothing out from the tv. If you have more than 1 hdmi device that needs to get to the tv and you want to hear the sound out of the jvc you need an hdmi switch.

All I have is a roku4,tv and then the receiver no cable box sorry I should have specified.

So, for TV programme you're limited to Stereo (if you connect TV' audio out to the receiver). Move Roku to the receiver' HDMI, and you should get surround in Netflix and others
