Enable HDMI CEC
No HDMI out from 4K 85" Sony
HDMI from the Sony TV goes to a Bryston SP3 processor, but the SP3 sees no HDMI input and consequently there is no audio. All the HDMI ports of the TV seem to be inputs, even HDMI 3 (eARC). Video input to the TV via HDMI from the Ayre DX-5 DSD disc player works fine. Is there a switch that needs to be set for HDMI output?

My smart TV (LG) seems to have the same problem. I haven’t really dug into it. I stream with an HT streamer which I send to my HT reciever and then just use my smart TV as a monitor. For watching 2 channel TV (most shows are not in surround sound) I run a Toslink cable out to my sound system. So I can conveniently stream 2 channel sound through my TV and not even turn the HT reciever on. For multiple channel sound I use the HT streamer and HT reciever. I’ll look into what @erik_squires posted. Don’t know what CEC is. Jerry |
For some reason on my LG eARC won’t work without it. CEC is the mechanism that allows the TV to control other devices via the HDMI cable. Like turning the TV off also turns off my HT receiver. It also includes volume control data, so when I hit up/down on my TV remote the receiver volume changes. Perhaps that’s why CEC is a per-requisite to having eARC working.
So you would think that enabling eARC would automatically enable CEC, right? Well it doesn't, at least on mine. |
@kr4 Most excellent catch. |
