TV sound not playing through reciever

[DirtyDiaper]

Hi,
I have a Yamaha HTR 6068 reciever hooked up with a Samsung Smart TV and Foxtel. There is a HDMI cable running from the Foxtel to the reciever, and a HDMI to the TV. The Audio works fine when using foxtel but when I switch it to TV, it only plays through the TV speakers. When I change the TV sound output from "TV speakers" to "audio out", the sound stops playing through the TV, but no sound through the external speakers.

i think you need to run a cable from the audio out of your tv to an input of the receiver and then switch the receiver's input setting to the appropriate selection. Should work fine then.

HDMI are ONE-WAY connections (unidirectional), EXCEPT on certain TV when one of the port is labeled as ARC capable, consult TV manual, and of course your receiver has to also do ARC.
