Clarification Request
SAMSUNG UA46EH5000 no audio output.
by bms234 Jul 16, 2015 11:13AM PDT

Hi! I have this 3 year old TV Samsung UA46EH5000 which has no audio out. So I have connected my cable box audio signal to my marantz 1504 receiver, however my movies are on a hard drive connected to my TV when I play that audio only comes thru the TV not Home Theater. I saw you had the same problem could you solve it? Please assist.

Movie playback is a tar pit of issues. It could be a setting or an audio encoding that can't be passed over optical.

Hi Auzi1978,

Everything sounds right so far. Provided you have the receiver connected to HDMI 2, make sure Anynet+ is turned on for the TV and Bravia Sync is on for the receiver.

Hi Auzi1978,

Thanks for your message. But just so you know, I support US products and customers. And from what I can tell, this model is for UK. (Correct me if I'm wrong.) So if you want the most accurate information, here's the Samsung UK portal for support on that product: http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/UE40D5500RWXXH

Hope this helps you!

Regards,
HD Tech

I think you can solve this eventually. Ask Pepe7 over in the CNET http://forums.cnet.com/home-audio-and-video-forum/ if you need more help.

Right off the top "pass through" on the receiver doesn't sound right as it does not need to pass a thing. It only needs to get audio and power the speakers.
