Hi all,
What I want to achieve is audio from my TV to my AVR and want to know how if I can do this over Cat5e?
The reason being is that my AVR is in a utility room on the other side of the living room to the TV. There isnt really an option to run an HDMI between the two locations. However i do have 2 unused Cat5e cables that run between TV location and AVR through the walls and ceiling. The AVR is connected to my projector by HDMI so its use there is fine.
I have no need to push video from the AVR to the TV, the TV has Netflix, Amazon, Freesat. However whilst watching any of these, having the audio through the AVR and hence the 5.1 speakers would be good.
Obviously with an HDMI then ARC could achieve this I believe (bit new to all this hence the uncertainty). However with Cat5e rather than HDMI I believe an HDMI extender could be used for HD/4k video to the TV (which i dont need) but how can I get audio from TV to amp (which is what I want)? Would an HDMI extender achieve this?
Any advice would be welcomed
TV has an ARC HDMI port and AVR is a Sony STRDN1080 is that's relevant with the 5.1 system being the Wharfedale dx-2. The Cat5e run between TV and AVR is approx 14m.
Thank you.
