At the moment all my devices (STB, Desktop, XiaoMi MiBox) are connected to my AV Receiver and
another "HDMI Out" from my AV Receiver to my TV HDMI with ARC. Such as connection I no need optical cable from my TV back to my AVR.
With your suggestion, from my AVR HDMI Out to regular HDMI port to TV, then use optical cable from TV back to AVR,
This will solve the issue?
i dun understand yr setup... can't follow what u mean by the
red part.
r u new with avr's? all devices can be connected via hdmi (depending how many input in yr avr, can be 3, 4, 5, 6...) to avr.
from avr, the output goes to one of the hdmi input of tv. that's all.
this way, the avr is the center. u select which device input at avr when playing, that video output goes to tv, no need to change channel on tv.
audio will come from avr->speakers only, no audio from tv.
there is no need to to use arc or optical cable at all.
if u want audio on tv too, u need to connect differently.
to be clear and not confuse anyone further, pls let us know:
- yr avr - is it new with hdmi connections to STB, Desktop, XiaoMi MiBox?
- yr avr connected how many speakers?
- what do mean by "HDMI Out from my AV Receiver to my TV HDMI with ARC"?
- why do u think it is necessary to connect avr by hdmi to tv and again tv back to avr by arc?
sorry... answers from readers here can only come if yr info is clear n complete...
