    Unable to enable ARC between Hisense & Yamaha

    Golly, a new (at the time) feature that is overrated & buggy??? No, the one extra cable isn't a problem. I was going to try another cable, but according to that other thread it's not worth it. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".................. I didn't realize ARC is around 12 years old...

    Unable to enable ARC between Hisense & Yamaha

    I have a Hisense TV (65U8G) and a Yamaha AV Receiver (RX-V675) and I'm unable to enable the ARC the function. In the TV's menu, the choice is grayed out. I have the HDMI cable connected between the sole ARC port (HDMI 3) on the TV and the sole HDMI out port on the Receiver. I have the "HDMI...

    Would you allow this company to repair your TV?

    One of many reasons I'm glad I live in a metropolitan area (actually a city) where there are choices less then 5 or maybe 10 miles away. ;) Frankly, I would of contacted their District Manager long time ago, them the letter to the CEO instead of waiting. Something I did 20 or so years ago with a...

    Are there any DVD recorders with built in OTA HD tuners?

    This is the cheapest (and only) current ATSC/QAM tuner available (AFAIK); http://epvision.com/ They will have a new version by the end of the year available with a NTSC tuner. Current model doesn't have one. Regular DVDs' can't record HD.

    Is a "digital" audio connection really better??

    Understood all of that, but question would be just how good the up conversion/procession of a video signal would be within an audio device. ;) And then there is the issue of $$.

    Is a "digital" audio connection really better??

    I don't really have brand loyality, but I do like a company that doesn't have it's products made in Mexico or Asia. Especially when the factory in a 90 min. drive away.

    Is a "digital" audio connection really better??

    That hasen't changed. :frowning: One source is for, say the TV input, the other is for the CD input. Under $500, but perferbably under $400 depending on how much bang for the buck is available now. Those $1k & $2k receivers are, well, out of the question.:angry:
