I find similar threads on the board, but not providing the specific information that I need. All of my serious equipment is in the home theater. I purchased an LG CX1 for the family room; I am attempting to re-purpose an old a/v receiver (Yamaha TSR-7810) and speakers for this TV. I can find all of the audio settings on the LG; my issue is knowing the correct settings and making them on the receiver. Issue 1: I am not certain how to bring up the Yamaha menu on screen to easily adjust the settings. Issue 2: Which HDMI port on the receiver do I use? There are 2 HDMI out ports, and 5 HDMI in ports. I have seen threads mention using HDMI 4, but I have seen other threads discussing the use of other HDMI ports. I know that the LG uses HDMI 2 for ARC. Issue 3: Does that AV setting need to be the same as the HDMI on the Yamaha? There are options to select the 5 HDMI in ports and a matching set of 5 AV selections; I do not see selections for the HDMI out ports. Issue 4: when I first purchased LG in the fall, I could not get the HDMI to work, so I used an optical audio cable which worked fine; just presumed it would be best using HDMI. Now that I have been monkeying with the LG, I cannot get the optical to work, either.
Perhaps the problem is an old receiver with a new TV. Is this a reasonably easy fix, or will it be a big PITA with the easier solution being a newer receiver?
