[QUOTE="GC7, post: 4080565, member: 2455"] I've had a similar issue with soundbars I bought for my TV. It uses HDMI-ARC as the connection interface. The issue is that OTA antenna stations deliver sound in Dolby Digital, but not every soundbar has a chip to support that specific codec. So even though the TV itself can pick up OTA picture and play the audio (though the internal speakers), [B]it does not pass through the decoded audio signal to any peripheral devices[/B]. Most soundbars seem to be sold under the assumption that the TV can convert audio to a basic PCM signal, which my TV does not do. Your setup is different obviously, but it does sound like a handshake issue between devices. [/QUOTE]
