ARC is hit and miss and I use the optical link to finish such setups all the time. If you feel that it should work, call it in. I take it you know which ports do arc.

Hi this is my first post on the forum, so hi everyone & thank you for the help in advance.
I have a
TV: Samsung UE40F5500,
AV: Yamaha YHT 1810
PS3:
I have searched the forum & found some advice but none seem to work, I am using this set up so I can watch tv as well as play games on the PS3 as have a wheel & seat setup for racing games.
Everything works well other than Im having to use a optical cable to hear the TV through the AV: I have gone thru as many settings as I can but nothing. TV & AV says they support ARC!!
Your help will appreciated.
