Hi all!
I bought a 4K Panasonic TX-65FZ802B TV recently to replace a decade old Samsung LE40. I use a Marantz NR1506 AV amp to connect three devices - a Panasonic UHD, a US Samsung BD player and a Humax HDR-FOX T2 PVR, all using HDMI. Between the UHD, amp and telly I use high speed HDMI cables, with normal HDMIs from the BD and PVR to the amp. The amp is connected to the TV using HDMI2, in order to get UHD support.
With the old telly, this all worked fine, but on my new set up I cannot get any sound from the Samsung or Humax devices, if using HDMI 1 or 2 on the telly. Connecting the Samsung or Humax direct to the HDMI 3 or 4 ports gives me sound via the TV.
This seems like an issue with using non-UHD devices with the UHD-enabled HDMI ports on the TV.
Obviously, I need to have all my devices routing through the app to get the benefits of surround sound and I have to use HDMI 1 or 2 on the TV to get UHD; at the moment the only solution I've found is to use the optical and digital (coax) connectors from the Samsung and Humax to the amp, but they are limited - playing a disk on the Samsung BD with DTS HD Master Audio results in only DTS at the amp.
Does anyone have experience of this? Would using high speed HDMI (or different ones... like Panasonic) fix this?
