@carlsbad2 Great!
Sadly this will not work for processors/receivers which don't support eARC like the OP.
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?

@kr4 Most excellent catch. |
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. |
