[gadix]

good day all

i have a NEW JBL SB 450 soundbar+sub
following the instructions, i have connected a from HDMI1 on the TV to the HDMI port # TV on the JBL.
unfortunately can't hear a thing!
changed 2 HDMI cables- still no sound!
changing from one HDMI port to the other( on the TV)- no sound!

going into the TV sound setting-> speaker type-> setting as "receiver" ( this what the TV let you to select), the TV recognize the sound bar as SB450, with additional note of "ANYNET+ " !!!

what is ANYNET+ stand for?

any suggestion how to overcome this problem ?

while connected via OPTIC - i can get a sound from the TV on the JBL though..

thx for the support

If you want to use the HDMI ARC to get audio from the TV to the JBL you usually have to turn it on in the TV menu and connect the JBL HDMI out to the HDMI -ARC input on the TV. There will only be one.
Using the optical input is fine however so don't worry about it.

I had the same issue and this time with my Samsung KU6500 and JBL Sb450. It took me a while to figure out and after a series of calls with both JBL and Samsung, I finally realized that the labeling of JBL as to where the slot for 'hdmi arc' is wrongly done or can be confusing to the consumers. I tried the other slot and connected it to Samsung's ARC input, them it worked! Sounds now come via hdmi to my sb450!
