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.

Got it working as you describe....not sure I'll keep it this way as it is more convenient to leave my 2 channel sound playing through my main system for occasional TV...but good to know I've got it working. thanks.

My Denon has a port marked "eARC" that helped.
