Should work like any other item your hook to your TV like a playstation or Xbox. It should send the sound though the hdmi down to the receiver.

Joe I,Typically the television connection will downcovert signals to 2-channel stereo for HDMI inputs. Few apps support 5.1 surround, so you might want to see if that option is available first.--Mr. S

You could. The TV has USB and HDMI input ports which accommodate most of the plug and play products on the market. I do not know how the amazon firestick works, but have successfully used a roku on this tv.

Go to SETTINGS and select SOUND.In my experience Most channels (cable) sound best when I set the SOUND MODE at DYNAMIC with VOLUME OFFSET AT +4. Also the I put STEADY SOUND, SURROUND and BASS BOOSTER to the ON setting.This works for amazon Prime and other internet channels.Some Cable channels vary from this and you can play with them to find the best setting. Usually I just set BASS BOOSTER to OFF on those channels where the voices are unclear. Your experience may vary, but you're not going to hurt anything by experimenting with the adjustments

No doesn't directly hook up to hd game systems.. Try the regular rca surround sound

I hooked it up to the TV. Works OK but no sound in the rear speakers (surround) for regular TV or the online stuff. I wonder if the online stuff would be better (surround, etc.) if plugged into the Blu Ray player. The other annoying thing is I have to use three remotes and have to keep switch the blu Ray to "D in 1" to get any sound from TV/internet.

I do not have that problem on my system. You do have to change the setting on the receiver with the remote to match the HDMI input you selected. If your doing that and your not getting sound and your speaker setting is correct then you might have a problem with the HDMI ports.

You need to hook an optical cable from the receiver to the TV. Then your Wii, Cable box, or any audio that runs through the TV will also run through the receiver. The HDMI is input only, not output for audio. Good Luck.

If you have HDMI source connected, then RCA will have 2 channel sound, but you may have to set switch on unit to 2 channel

I just plugged my amazon fire into the DVD port of the receiver. It works fine that way. I still have the BVD port available for the Blue Ray player.

I use a Roku streaming stick, and take audio from the digital out of the TV

probably not unless your surround sound system uses ethernet. Depending on your system, you may want an Optical cable, or HDMI

Hello B.E. Murphy,This surround sound bar plays through your television's audio output so anything you play on your TV will be heard in the surround sound including blu-ray players and gaming consoles. Thanks for your interest!

The sound system runs through the TV, so any peripherals will have surround sound. Just make sure you have enough HDMI ports

Hi Tom,I've done everything you said and that I can think of and still no dice. So I'm done trying to figure it out. I used to get pretty good surround from the the TV programs that are broadcast HD 5.1 but it seems to be gone also. I have to say that the despite all this, it does sound pretty good if stereo is what I was going for. Thanks for all your help. I really appreciate it.Take care,Dennis

You can hook it up with the regular red and white audio cables, optical cable or an hdmi cable the system comes with the regular cables and the optical cable. I have mind setup with the optical cable and it sounds great.

If you have anynet setup, then yes. I would plug your TV hdmi into ARC (Audio Return Channel) hdmi port on this unit and make sure ARC is enabled... although I think its enabled by default but just make sure. The unit also has a dedicated button on remote that switches the sound from unit to TV and back if you ever want to listen to sound on TV itself but I hardly ever use it. Hope this helps.

Getting surround sound depends on the speaker setup you have and has very little to do with this equipment. If your TVs are wired for surround sound, then they should work fine always. This equipment merely allows you to use up to 4 HDMI-compatible devices (outputs) with one HDMI source (input). It doesn't vary or optimize the input in any way.
