Greetings!
I just purchased a brand new LG C1 65" OLED TV just after Thanksgiving. I also have a Denon AVR-2113Ci receiver hooked to five speakers in my living area (2 Front, 2 Back and Subwoofer). I replaced an old Mitsubishi TV DLP that was about 15 years old (but still worked well). I figured it was time to come into the 4K world.
However, I have had nothing but headaches with this. I have been completely unable to get sound from the LG to my Denon Receiver, even following the connection rules for both eARC and Optical. I get NO sound for eARC and sound only to my Front 2 speakers with Optical.
I thought maybe I'd try using an Amazon Firestick or Apple TV as a source to the Denon, then push that via HDMI output to the LG, but I was again disappointed because the Denon won't do a simple passthrough of the 4K signal!
So I am now completely stuck wondering 1) Does the LG C1 have a defect in its Audio, 2) Will I need to discard 4 Bose speakers, a Polk Center speaker and a Polk Subwoofer and replace those with a soundbar? If so, will that even WORK! Seems by buying a $2000 TV I can't use $1000 worth of audio!
Maybe there's someone here that's gone through this with a C1 and a Denon AVR-2113 that can help?
Thanks!
