Hi all,
Am wondering if any smart minds out there can help me.
I have just set up my lounge using the eARC output of my tv. Three sources are plugged into the tv. The eARC input is then fed to an HDFury vertex which extracts the audio from the hdmi signal and sends it over an bluestream balun to my loft where my AVR (Denon 8500) now resides.
I would like to get to the stage where I do not require the remote of the amp to be in my lounge. I would like to be able to control the volume of the amplifier by changing the volume of the tv or the sources.
The tv when outputting sound over eARC prevents volume control. The Apple TV remote seems to be displaying a volume change but it’s not actually affecting anything.
I’m wondering if there is an hdmi input setting that fixes the volume of the avr and relies solely on the input signal to change the volume of the output, or if perhaps the CEC signal can control the volume of the amp.
I previously had a sonos arc sound bar and note that its volume was not controlled independently, but I do not know if it was responding to the remote or the hdmi signal, I suspect the latter since Apple TV is bluetooth and my Samsung tv is IR.
I basically want to get the amplifier to behave like a sound bar not requiring any controls to be pressed once it has been initially set up.
is this possible?
