Hello. I'm new to the forums and hoping that someone can help me. I've been trying to research how to properly set my tv and receiver to properly play sound. I apologize ahead of time if my question is a little confusing. Here is what I have:
TV: Samsung 55inch 4k UN55kS800FXZA
Costco Wholesale
Receiver: Yamaha RX-V481BL
RX-V481 - RX-V - AV Receivers - Audio & Visual - Products - Yamaha United States
Basically my question is how I should output the sound from my TV. I have my AT&T Uverse and Playstation 4 connected to the TV, both via HDMI. From there I have a HDMI ARC cable going from the TV to the receiver. For days I've been trying to figure out whether to use PCM or Bitstream for HDMI Audio and also PCM/Dolby Digital/DTS Neo 2.5 for audio output. After reading all of these forums and websites, I've read that PCM would be lossless over a HDMI cable. When I choose PCM, I see that only the front two speakers (so therefor 2.1 audio) are the only speakers active when I choose STRAIGHT on the yamaha receiver. I'm continuously reading different pages contradicting each other, one says to use PCM and the other Bitstream (one or the other will claim to be lossless). So My questions for help is.. Which should I choose and which is actually lossless?
When I set my receiver to STRAIGHT, how should I set the HDMI audio and Audio out settings on my television?
To anyone that is able to answer, thank you very much!
