Hello, looking for some help with my amp if anyone would be so kind.
Had a Marantz NR1504 for a couple of years and it worked great for my PS4 and tv as I had them both connected by HDMI to the Marantz and then one HDMI running back to the tv to provide the picture.
Recently purchased a Samsung Qled tv and unfortunately this setup is no longer possible.
So I got an optical cable to connect the tv to the amp and connected the PS4 to the tv by hdmi.
Set the amp to tv audio.
Went in to the amps options/inputs and assigned digital optical to the tv audio.
Also changed the tv audio output to optical.
Unfortunately I can’t get any sound to work at all for the tv or PS4.
I’m sure the optical cable works as the tv and amp are connected.
The tv remote volume buttons will adjust the amp volume.
The tv automatically renamed the hdmi channel as NR1504.
Also there is a red light emitted from the cable when connected to the tv, PS4 or Apple TV.
I’ve tried connecting the PS4 and Apple TV directly to the amp by the optical cable but still no sound.
All this points to the amp being the problem.
Thinking I’ve missed an option in the settings somewhere.
I do have anynet+ switched on in the tv settings.
I’ve also tried using a HDMI ARC connection.
Again the tv and amp seem to talk to each other but no sound output.
I’ve double checked the speakers work with the original setup by hdmi for the PS4 and the speakers are working fine.
Can only think the issue is with the amp but seems weird that it would be both the optical and hdmi arc connections when everything else on it works fine and it hasn’t had much use.
Hopefully I’ve explained it fairly clearly and this is the correct place to post.
Happy to provide any more information needed and updates for any suggestions.
If anyone can solve this problem I will make a donation to the charity of your choice.
Thanks for taking the time to read.
