I apologize for the stupidity of the question. I guess I'm finally getting too old for all this...
I have a Samsung tv. I really want to control the volume from my remote. My old Vizio had RCA jacks that work perfectly. Unfortunately, Samsung doesn't even have a headphone jack I could rig up. It only has optical (which can't be variable) and eArc.
My old Denon receiver's HDMI ports don't support Arc. I'm willing to buy a new receiver eventually to get the variable audio, but I suddenly realized I don't know how the heck that would work! The HDMI Arc port on the tv is an input, not output. Does that mean I'll need to connect my sources to the receiver, and run the audio and video through it? That doesn't make sense as what would you do for the native apps?
Could anyone give me a breakdown of what this type of setup would look like?
Greatly appreciated!
