RE: Help needed connecting Samsung HW-F751 to TV & other devices.
Hello,
I bought a Samsung HW-F751 sound bar recently (off eBay) and need some help with it's set up.
I have a Toshiba TV, which is about 7 years old and is not one of those smart TVs. It has 4 HDMI ports at the back, three of which are used to connect to a Sky box, a media player and Roku box (for Netflix).
The TV HDMI ports are labelled as HDMI 1/2/3/4 so don't know if any have ARC and it doesn't say anything in the user manual.
The TV also has a Optical Digital Audio Output port.
The Soundbar has the following three ports... Optical IN, HDMI IN and HDMI OUT.
So, what I need help with is... how do I connect everything up so the sound from all three devices (Sky box, media player, and Roku box) comes through the Sound Bar when the Soundbar only has one HDMI IN port?... (ie don't want to have to keep swapping HDMI cables)
If you could please explain all the connections required (ie optical, HDMI IN/OUt), what connects to what, and also what to set the Input Mode (Source button on the remote) to? (ie D.IN, AUX, HDMI etc)
Your help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Steve
