How to Connect Receiver to Smart TV Surround Sound 

I have a onkyo TX-SR508 hooked up to surround sound and an HDMI cable running from my smart tv to the HDMI out port on the receiver but I can’t get the sound from RU-vidTV to work on the surround sound speakers, is there something else I need to be doing?

Thanks. Our 10 year old SHARP tv is dying. Am looking for replacement. Your instructional video gave me hope. Have had surround sound system for past twenty-twenty five years or so. Sounds like it may be as simple as plugging it all in. I appreciate it. If I have any problems, I’ll know where to turn.

I have a roku smart tv and pioneer vsx-43 receiver. I have it plugged in with hdmi arc to receiver. I only have the receiver tuner that sound come through speakers. However not the TV sound or dvd sound only sound through TV. What have I missed?

Solid video. I have a similar 7.1 onkyo receiver. I’m trying to connect a 2.0 or 2.1 speaker set up, but am I losing out on sound effects if the receiver is sending stuff to the center and rears that are non existent? Also I’ve used an RCA to 3.5mm to connect it to my tv.

Hey I have a Roku tv but my tv don’t have the red in white plugs

You saved our party man thanks

Thanks for your help !!

Everytime I open RU-vid off my smart tv, my receiver starts disconnecting, and a message pops up: anynet+ is not connected. Check and try again I try connecting my ps4, although the audio comes through the HDMI I never get the start up menu of anynet+ that I can switch through the HDMI plug in through my receiver making it not see able on my tv could you give me recommendation on what to do.

My questions are in support of setting up my surround sound speakers (Left, Right, Center, Woofer) to my Smart TV and receiver. I have a Samsung Smart TV that has HDMI, although an older Yamaha receiver that does not have HDMI. What cables are needed to establish Digital Signal Optical connection from (TV, Receiver, Speakers)? Is it possible to connect directly from Smart TV to speakers and woofers?

i hope you reply im needing a little help, i have a Hisense smart tv and a Sony multi-channel receiver, i tried the HDMI cord but i heard somewhere that both devices have to support ARC which it doesn't say it on the receiver then my step father told me i could just run the red white yellow cables but there's no where on my tv that has the 3 spots so i got an attachment that plugs into the spot and breaks out into the red white yellow. we don't want to hook up any play stations or dvds we only want it for sound for netflix and all the in apps on the tv hope this makes sense and i hope i hear back from you and can get this figured out

I have a Hisense with Google TV and it's not sending audio either with optical or HDMI to my marrantz sr5012 receiver. Can we do a video call ?

I have my smart TV not connected to the Internet don't trust it but stereo setup is literally confusing because some products might have ports that maybe look normal port but don't work because they aren't either output or inputs

How do I connect my smart TV to Onkyo NR597 which doesnt have HDMI Arc?

Okay my question is if I use my red eye cable from my TV to my okay receiver how do I set it on my receiver

How do I get sound but without using an optical cable?

How can I hook up 4 TV's through a receiver, to get the sound on external speakers? The goal is to have 4 TV's on at once with sound from only 1 TV at a time. Using the receiver controller, I want to be able to switch the sound from TV to TV at the touch of a button. Thanks in advance!

Sound would be nice
