Hi all,
I've got a problem with ARC that is driving me crazy! If anyone can help that'd be great.
I got a new tv in December, a Philips 55OLED754/12. Now, when I got the 673 originally, I bought it for - amongst other reasons - the fact it handled 4k... Anyway... things change and of course when I finally get a 4K tv, 4k has changed, and it doesn't handle UHD etc.
I mainly use an nvidia shield for content (esp Disney+ these days). But I can't put the video through the receiver, so I have that going to HDMI2 on the TV. HDMI1 is connected to the receiver. When using the receiver for audio only, audio is on AV4.
ARC works, 50% of the time...Sometimes it randomly fails but I can't work out why at all. At first I thought it was a hardware issue - the socket being a bit loose but I'm 99% sure that isn't it now (I secured it very strongly). I've tried various HDMI cables of course.
But as well as watching the shield, we also watch content from the tv itself (with sound going to the receiver via arc too), and a blu-ray player which is connected to the receiver for audio and video.
And for no good reason that I can work out, sometimes the ARC works, other times it doesn't.
But if I pull the plug on the receiver and then plug it in again, 100% of the time the ARC starts working.
The obvious answer is get a new receiver and I will at some point but 1) I'd rather not spend that much at the moment, and 2) I actually don't know for sure if it is a problem with the receiver or the TV itself. I like the TV, but I have doubts about some of the software, it seems a bit buggy.
Does anyone have any ideas please?
Thanks
