Hello everyone, just got my new YAMAHA YAS 207, i am using it with AKAI 505 TV and google chromecast
For some unknown reason the soundbar does not output 1080p only 720p...

the connection is as following:
chromecast connected with HDMI to the YAMAHA HDMI IN,
HDMI ARC out from the soundbar to the TV HDMI in.

when i connect the chromecast directly to the TV i get 1080p (but then no sound go thru the soundbar).

please help me out here, i am lost,
tried to update the soundbar firmware.... did not helped...

thanks to all!!
 
Solution
The TV supports HDMI ARC, so it should playback to the soundbar

the firmware of the TV and the chromecast should always be up to date

Hi helpstar,
unfortunately my TV does not have optical output, only headset jack, so if i connect the chromecast directly to the TV i cannot have the sound in 5.1, but it does transmit 1080p in this configuration, so i believe the TV firmware should be sufficient to receive 1080p

so just to summarize:
Chromecast connected directly to TV - TV gives 1080p
chromecast connected to the soundbar and soundbar output hdmi connected to the TV - TV gives 720p.
My laptop is connected to the soundbar and soundbar output hdmi connected to the TV - gives 1080p.

any idea?
