Hi all,
Had the TV for a couple of months, and the receiver for a fair few years. Finally got a new HDMI cable yesterday and attempted to set up ARC.
For the most part, it's fine. The RX-V377 responds to TV power up & down, volume and input changes from the Philips remote. I was watching some youtube videos whilst testing and all appeared fine, audio was coming back from the TV down the HDMI cable (receiver set to AV1 for TV audio). We then settled down to watch a 5.1 movie on Netflix, Dolby Digital+ flashed up for a second on the V377, then it swiftly switched to 'Decoder off' and no audio was coming through.
I've been pulling my hair out ever since - I finally figured out a workaround; I switch the V377 to another input for example HDMI1, then back to AV1 and the 5.1 audio starts coming through fine. If I stop/start the 5.1 source on the TV, or even simply pause it, the V377 displays 'Decoder off' and doesn't let any audio through till I cycle the inputs as described or change to a 2 channel source.
Any ideas guys? I was really hoping to be able to put the Yamaha remote away :/
