Audio out to RCA input on new Sony TV's?

New TVs have 2 channel audio-out via a newer HDMI standard (1.3a? 1.4?) -I can't remember off the TOMH.
You must have an AVR with this newer standard and then feed you preamp with RCA cables from the AVR L/R outputs.
Hope this works...

It's called AudioReturnChannel = ARC.

There are devices available that can take an HDMI signal and churn out an RCA connectable signal. Give Google a try, they're usually about $25-$50....

The Audio Out : 1 (Side / Hybrid w/ HP) is a 1/8" stereo mini jack, so all you need is a cable with a 1/8" stereo mini plug on one end and RCA's on the other. Then set the Fixed/Variable in the menu just like your older Sony TV.

Another option is to use the optical digital audio out to a basic 2 channel DAC, then from the DAC to your preamp. It will be necessary to set the digital audio out to PCM which, after looking at a manual, appears to be possible.

If you don't currently have a DAC with an available optical input, then the first option works for just the price of the adapter cable.
