Does my tv need an audio out for this to work? Or can I just connect all my devices to the recievor and then use the receivor's hdmi out to the tv?

Essentially you will connect your cable/satellite providers HDMI cable to the receiver then run your main "out" HDMI to your TV. In short, HDMI carries audio along with video. If your cable/satellite box provides it, connect the SPDIF cable (optical) to the receiver. Just know there is only one SPDIF plug in, so pick whatever you want to have the best clarity in audio (bluray/tv/game system etc).

Yup thats what i have going, connected my xbox, apple tv etc to the receiver and then took the HDMI out from the receiver to the tv . . .

HDMI carries both sound and video.Just plug everything into there respective places in the back panel.Run an HDMI cable from the "out" to your TV and set your TV to the input you have the cable run to and you are done.

Yes I think you can do this. It would be a good time to up date your other devices with HDMI out puts. You will be glad that you did.

If your tv is older than 10 years the answer is yes. However if you are on Satelite you can do it all thru receiver, and Satelite box

You can use the audio out while connected to hdmi with no issue. We had it set up to some bose computer speakers while the hdmi was connected for video to the tv in Afghanistan for a while...no problems.

You can do a couple things. Buy an adapter for RCA like you said, or try to go right into your receiver. If you have a cable box, then you could pull the audio directly from there instead of through the tv. What i do is pull the audio through my home theatre system instead of through the tv.

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.

There is no audio out on this television. You would have to connect the HDMI chord to a receiver and then the receiver to the tv.

that was my experience; somewhere in the literature in fact says that if you use HDMI or Digital Optical cable, that you have to use the audio cable out as well (defeats the purpose of the HDMI or Digital Optical cable IMO), however it works well with that set-up

The short answer is that you don't (or, at least, you shouldn't). The Oppo will pass audio to your receiver via HDMI. You might want to check the settings to make sure that HDMI audio is enabled... check pages 18 & 19 of your manual.The coax/optical option is there for people like me who do not have an HDMI-capable receiver.

HDMI connection carry both the video and sound. Not being familiar with the advancement of audio receivers I can not say for certain that it will not work. Depending on the connections from your components that you have their may be a way to to do it. For me, I just connected it to the tv. Hope this helps.

Yes it has an hdmi out. I can't get the sound to work on the tv yet but the video will play. I think I just need to download the proper driver for it.

There is Audio out at the back of the TV Screen. Simply plug that to the input on the receiver.

Why do you connect audio separately? HDMI should be sufficient to give you both video and audio if you hook it up through a common receiver. At least it works in my case. Try that. Bob.

So if I want to watch TV the receiver must be turned on? How can I hook up the cables so the TV and it's speakers work with the cable, and the extra speakers work only when the receiver is turned on?

No audio to projector...need to connect audio to reciever to your cable box, bluray player, and any other source media.

You don't need a receiver with this unit! It's self-amplified. Just plug it in to your TV via HDMI. Plug your other components in to the TV as well. At worst, you'll need to run a pair of RCA audio cables from the TV back to the audio input of the Sound Bar. Hope this helps

You need a receiver or amplifier. Use the HDMI or Digital out or Optical out from TV to a receiver/amp and then hook up the speakers to the amp. Directly from TV, it won't work.

The tv does not do audio out so you will need a receiver to plug individual sources up to and then send one cable out to tv for video.

Yes, but one quick note that might help you: I switched from and older receiver that had many inputs and outputs but no HDMI to a newer one with HDMI support. At first when setting up the sound bar I freaked out when I realized the newer receiver didn't have optical out but it didn't stop me; I ended up running the optical out from the TV to the sound bar. If you have to do this you might need to go into your receiver's settings and enable sound through the TV HDMI signal (it was disabled in mine).
