My TV only has an HDMI for Audio output. Can I connect this to this receiver. If so, how?

it may be a simple mis-understanding...where the receiver has an "OUT" plug for the TV, this is where OUTPUT goes FROM the receiver TO the TV.think of it this way - the receiver's job is to take INPUT from various sources, like BluRay players, DVD players, cable boxes, satellites, whatever, and then send those TO one output device like y our TV.your TV is a "destination" for signals that come from the receiver. not a "source" for things going into the receiver.that being said, what you'd really want to do is take the stuff that is going INTO your TV (like your cable box) and have those go INTO the receiver instead, and then go FROM the receiver to the TV (for the video signal) and to the speakers (for the audio signal). it may be a simple mis-understanding...where the receiver has an "OUT" plug for the TV, this is where OUTPUT goes FROM the receiver TO the TV.think of it this way - the receiver's job is to take INPUT from various sources, like BluRay players, DVD players, cable boxes, satellites, whatever, and then send those TO one output device like y our TV.your TV is a "destination" for signals that come from the receiver. not a "source" for things going into the receiver.that being said, what you'd really want to do is take... » Read More it may be a simple mis-understanding...where the receiver has an "OUT" plug for the TV, this is where OUTPUT goes FROM the receiver TO the TV.think of it this way - the receiver's job is to take INPUT from various sources, like BluRay players, DVD players, cable boxes, satellites, whatever, and then send those TO one output device like y our TV.your TV is a "destination" for signals that come from the receiver. not a "source" for things going into the receiver.that being said, what you'd really want to do is take the stuff that is going INTO your TV (like your cable box) and have those go INTO the receiver instead, and then go FROM the receiver to the TV (for the video signal) and to the speakers (for the audio signal). « Show Less

You will be able to connect to this receiver but it seems like a lot of money to spend and not be able to use the video options of this receiver. This is a LOT of receiver for a single input for output to speakers. You would essentially be connecting to this receiver to add up to 7.1 surround sound. Your option... When this receiver worked it was great (it died after about a year). It's currently in Michigan for "hopefully" repair.

The TV needs to input DVI and red/white audio I assume. This item inputs DVI/red/white and outputs HDMI so it is the opposite of what I think you need. Tell me, what are you trying to connect to the TV and what model is the TV?

I am guessing you have a smart/web connected TV and you want the sound to come from the receiver. Check if your TV has an audio output either digital/optical . Look at your TV settings . I am guessing the TV has multiple HDMI ports. How would the TV know where to send the output ?

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.

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.

You will need an amplifier or A/v reciever. Tv output is not sufficient It does not decode the sound so it wont work

Go with directly connected to one-connect box and audio back to your receiver via HDMI ARC or SPDIF (Optical) cable. The interface is actually quite nice on the Samsung TV. You could always try to connect it into the receiver and see how it goes. Also if you're using a 4K TV that automatically upconverts the image, I would disable the upconversion on the receiver. I've had better results on my Denon S900W with upconversion disabled interfacing to a UN65HU9000.

There are only 2 inputs. 1 standard audio L/R jacks and one digital audio. No HDMI. You need to plug everything into your tv and use the tv audio out to the speaker bar. Which really is the best way anyways. And then it does have Bluetooth so anything with Bluetooth will connect as well.

If you do not have an ARC HDMI connection on your TV use the digital output on your TV to the digital Input on your receiver with a Toslink cable. This is what I had to do and it works perfectly.

Make sure your: 1) Cables are plug in and secure from the tv to the receiver. (RCA, HDMI, Coax..etc) 2) You pressed the right command Aux, tv, dvd..etc from the receiver. You might have tried all this but from here its all i can advised you.Me personally have a HDMI and Coax cable hooked from the receiver to my TV and it sound great.

There should be a setting on your TV in the menu that allows you to choose an output source. Connect the red and white cables to your system and to your TV as well. Then, change the input on your system to auxiliary (aux) and it should work

This is where I ran into problems; The audio input is Optical. My TV only has Digital Coax. I had to buy an coax to optical converter to make it compatible. It was about $20 Hope this helps

The receiver does handle audio from HDMI sources. There is no need for optical or coaxial digital connections to get audio from HDMI sources.

The HDMI inputs outputs do carry audio signals. In the simplest setup where all sources and monitors (I.e. TVs, receivers, etc) are HDMI capable, you won't need to worry about audio. However, if your receiver is HDMI-less, then you have the choices of sending analog or digital audio signal to it. While I've not tried digital signal but the analog works for me just like you stated in your question. I've read in the product reviews that the unit can only output one type of signal at a time. Meaning you can't have both analog and digital outputs at the same time. Search the reviews may help.

Yes, I have it directly connected to our cable box. You should be able to use either an optical cable or the receivers audio outputs.

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.

No there are no Audio outputs on this tv. Although if your audio receiver has hdmi, this tv can stream the audio through the HDMI Audio return Channel (ARC).
