HT-XT3 HDMI ARC Problem

I cannot get any sound from the HT-XT3 when connecting to my Bravia KD-49X8005C TV using HDMI ARC. The only way I can get it to work is with the optical cable connection. What could be wrong?

Hi there

 

Assuming that you have connected it to the HDMI-ARC port on the TV, it could be the HDMI cable itself - so, if the below instructions dont work, try a new hdmi cable.

 

It could also be a HDMI handshake issue, because you plugged it in when the tv was on. Try this:

  1. Turn TV completely off from the wall.
  2. Unplug optical cable, and plug in the HDMI cable to the correct ports.
  3. Turn TV on and test.

 

Cheers

Hi

 

Many thanks, turning off at the wall and starting again worked.
