To get digital audio:HDMI from cable box to AV.Or, Toslink from cable box to AV.Or, Digital Orange Cable from Cable box to AV.Turn the volume level all the way down on the TV to avoid sound from the TV speakers (otherwise there can be an echo). Control the volume through the AV. If the correct inputs/outputs are selected at the AV, you should get the sound through the AV speakers.

I send one output on the splitter to each of TV' and another to my home theater receiver. When I want to watch TV without turning on the receiver, I just turn on the TV. Another way to go is to use the RCA component outputs from your cable box and go to the RCA component inputs on your TV. Use that for TV watching when the receiver is off. Then run the HDMI from your cable box to the receiver for surround audio when you want it. That should give you the best of both worlds.

You need to connect your sound bar to your cable box/satellite tv receiver. If youre connection is in component cables you connect the video cables ..between the television and the cable box / satellite tv receiver. Then you connect the red and white audio portion of the cable between the cable box/satellite tv receiver and the sound bar. the after that you are going from the OUTPUT of the cable box/satellite tv receiver to the INPUT on the television and sound bar. You must use the function/ source/input button on the sound bar to choose the space you that you have plugged the cables on it or listen to the radio or listen to your device. Hope this helps!

Just got the 820. Had the same issue, wanted to just listen to the tv when watching satellite. Simply connected a optical cable from sat box to the 820, hit SIGNAL SEL on receiver remote until 02 (optical 2 input, there are two). Now I can listen to the tv or turn on the receiver and get theater sound.

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.

I tried using this device - and it worked converting Component to HDMI... but had an issue with Audio. HDMI image displayed correctly - but no audio. That made the device useless for me... did not play with it again. For your question - If you compare image 2 (front of box) and image 4 (rear of box) - coax appears to be output - alongside HDMI and SPDIF... so, though I didn't test coax... I would guess no to your question - as it appears coax is output - not input.

Matthew...Who do you use for Broadcast service...cable, Fios, DirecTV? I am having the same issue with this TV, Samsung Surround sound system and DirectTv. I am thinking it may have something to do with going through a receiver for surround sound. Do you use one?

Lucy,I found the source of my hum. I have Direct TV HD. I found that going into the menu settings/Audio/Sound Effects and turning that option off, I was able to rid myself of the annoying hum. The option has something to do with keeping the audio settings from channel to channel, while it is changing you hear dead air except for the hum. Nice and quit now. Love this receiver!Larry

yes, if you come out of the receiver with hdmi into the unit (you must set your receiver to pass the audio to the TV under the hdmi settings) then it will give you an analog stream for your TV ears. If your receiver cannot output the hdmi audio along with the video, then you can insert it between the source you want and the receiver (the downside to this scenario is you only get the option of that one source, as opposed to all the sources connected to your receiver with the first option)

If you set the wiring up to not have hdmi play thru the receiver first then output picture to the tv you can have it so the tv plays its own sound. But if you run it thru on the one hdmi cable from output source to receiver then to tv the tv will not have speaker capability. Also if you were to go hdmi from output source to tv directly you can have tv sound when you want it, and then run an optic cable from output source to receiver and you can have tv sound and/or receiver. There is a small loss in sound this way as some of the current decoding does not support optic transfer but it'll be a minimal difference if you aren't a real picky audio enthusiast.

To get the apps to play out the receiver you need to run an audio signal from the tv to the receiver. The cable plays through the reciever because thats where the audio signal is generated. Since the tv apps sound is generated through the television it self you need too run an audio ouput from the tv to the reciever. I have mine hooked up this way. As far as the 3d goes I have no clue I only use the 3d with my ps3 and Iit automatically picks it up.

Have done all this, but how do I get 5.1 sound from the external source? Sound only coming through the front speakers. What input should I be using on the receiver to get 5.1 sound from the external source? TIA.

Just feed the sound from your TV into your receiver, and then turn your TV sound all the way down to "zero" - then you will just use the receiver as your sound source on all programs - TV,, Netflix, Amazon, etc.That is what I did and it works great. How you do that will depend on your receiver inputs - could be done with HDMI, rca feeds, or optical digital cord - whatever it will accept.

I'm assuming that you're connecting to a television. Depending on how old your TV is, you may have to go into the settings menu on the TV and select the audio source as HDMI. If your audio source going to the TV was previously "optical" or "digital", etc. then it may require a manual change in the menu settings back to HDMI. Just a guess. Good luck.

William, if you are using a newer cable or satellite box with HDMI but your TV only supports a DVI connection, run a HDMI/DVI cable from the box (HDMI video out) to the TV (DVI video in) for the video. Then run a optical (Toslink) cable from the box (audio out) to the receiver (audio in). You would be using your receiver for audio only, but but both the picture and sound would be digital and as good as using HDMI going through the receiver. If, however, your TV does not have DVI capability you could follow these same steps but use component cables instead of the HDMI-to-DVI cable.

Can't tell from pictures and the info on your TV whether it has any kind of outputs (RCA or headphone out). If your sound currently gets to your TV through HDMI, you'll need some kind of output from the TV, unless the source (Bluray, cable box etc) has audio outputs separate from HDMI. In the latter case, you can just use a mini stereo or aux cable and run it to the sound bar. It also accepts Bluetooth, if you have a PC, phone, or tablet that has Bluetooth you can pair it.
