Hi. I’ve just treated myself in the Black Friday sales, and I‘m looking for help in configuring my new kit (the TV is a Sony Bravia KD55A8 OLED) - apologies if this is a hackneyed question, but it’s been several years since I set up my last combination of kit and things have moved on a bit!
1) Is there a recommended or optimum way to connect up this collection of kit? Are there any resources/diagrams on this anywhere (my site/forums search didn’t throw up an obvious ‘master reference’ for this) e.g
a) I assume HDMI (ARC) from TV to the Soundbox, so that audio from any TV source is played through the Soundbox?
b) HDMI from the Sky Q box to the TV? But is there any need to connect the Sky Q to the Soundbox too (using the optical cable) - or will this just confuse things?
c) Sky Q needs to be connected to an internet router - I assume that I should connect the TV directly too?
2) If both the TV and Sky Q are connected to the internet, should I watch Netflix (or anything else) via Sky Q or directly on the Sony/Android TV app?
3) Are there any other things I should (or shouldn’t!) do or setup tweaks I should make to get the best out of this kit?
Many thanks all - excited to get it all working tomorrow!
