How come I don't have the reciever HDMI only the other 3? This is a pain!
When both the tv and soundbar are connected to arc, when I power off the tv, the soundbar turns off also. How xan I keep the soundbar on and the tv off to use Bluetooth???
When I turn my Series X on it turns on the Samsung Tv but won’t turn on the Samsung soundbar. The soundbar is using ARC and the Tv and Xbox are communicating via CEC. When I turn the Xbox off it’ll shut off the Tv and soundbar, as it should. It’s only when turning the Xbox on the soundbar won’t turn on. Extremely annoying, Microsoft should’ve stayed with the IR Reader, CEC sucks.
I cannot control the volume once HDMI Receiver is used as output device, the audio output works but I have to use the remote of my soundbar to control volume
Samsung smart TV home theater set up any net CEC or no?
You’ve got 2 out of the big 3. Where is Sony? Should I not buy if I have a Sony TV?
SWEET! I THANKS ,WORKS LIKE A CHARM.
Useful! 😊
You are the only one out of this whole fucking YouTube who helped me out. My Samsung tv wasn't picking up my Vizio sound bar and I called up vizio and Samsung, whoever isn't getting HDMI/Receiver you have to turn on Aynett or whatever it's fucking called, give it a few seconds to kick in tho and your Samsung tv should recognize it like this guy said in his post. Thank you very much, I was about to throw all my shit out the fucking window until I saw this…..
I don't have that option Receiver(HDMI)
The hdmi didn’t show even i have the same tv
