I just made the transition from High Def projector to 4k TV. I upgraded my receiver a little while ago to a Marantz SR6013 and just bought the LG 86UN8570PUC 86" 4k TV.
I've noticed the apps on the TV are a bit faster than my older Fire TV box and they look a lot cleaner than my PlayStation 4 in terms of picture quality. However, one thing I didn't think of was sound. I was seven years back in technology. And I noticed that I have to use the sound on my TV vs my A/V set up. So here's my question.
I read that Optical TosLink isn't the way to go any more due to lack of bandwidth and not transferring full lossless audio. I read that I need to use the Arc HDMI settings. Do I need two HDMI cables? One from my receiver to the TV and then a second one to reverse from the TV to an input on the receiver? When using the apps on the TV how exactly am I supposed to get lossless return audio for Vudu in UHD back to my Marantz receiver?
