Hello,
I am trying to connect up the following:
Onkyo TX-SR506 AV receiver, Humax FVP-5000T, Samsung BD-F8500M Blu-ray, Sony Bravia KDL-40W5500.
The Onkyo is quite old - I bought it as an end-of-line about 6 years ago to replace my 25 year old Marantz AV Receiver, but it has only ever been used for a few hours once or twice a week and only for music connected to a Brennan JB7.
I have assigned HDMI 1 (IN) on the ONKYO to the CBL/Sat button and connected the Humax to that.
I have connected ONKYO HDMI (OUT) to the TV. As neither Item have ARC i have assigned Optical 1 as an audio input to CBL/Sat and taken an Optical cable from there to the TV.
This work fine with surround sound when watching through the Humax.
I have assigned HDMI 2 (IN) on the ONKYO to the DVD button and connected a HDMI cable to the Samsung Blu-ray. This works for the picture but no surround sound.
Would connecting another optical between the Samsung and the ONKYO solve this.
Any help would be really appreciated.
best regards
Roy
