About Goran65

@Tony_A wrote: Hi Goran65,   If this particular reset didn't help to resolve the issue, it does appear that the TV may be incompatible with the ARC features.  I would recommend using the optical cable from the TV which should clear this up.  SInce this soundbar is capable of Dolby Digital and DTS, it should not impact the performance of the soundbar.   Warm Regards, Tony A    It worked perfect with my old Sony  BDV-N9100L. ARC and HDMI-CEC no problems.   Goran ... View more

@PercyBottle wrote: Thanks again @BrianJP . I think you're right about the stereo. I found this in my TV manual, under the heading of "Using an Optical (Digital) Cable Connection"   "When the receiver (home theatre) is set to on, you can hear sound output from the TV’s optical jack. When the TV is receiving a DTV signal, the TV will send 5.1 CH sound to the home theatre receiver. When the source is a digital component such as a DVD / Blu-ray player / cable box / STB (Set-Top-Box) satellite receiver and is connected to the TV via HDMI, only 2 CH audio will be heard from the home theatre receiver. If you want to hear 5.1 CH audio, connect the digital audio out jack from your DVD / Blu-ray player / cable box / STB satellite receiver directly to an amplifier or home theatre."   So my TV won't pass the 5.1 from the Blu-ray through to the SB700. Looks like I need a new TV  Unfortunately, my Blu-ray's digital output is coax, not optical, otherwise I could go directly from there to the SB700 when I watch discs.   You can get a Coax to Optical converter for about $25 and they work great.   ...

@Tony_A wrote: Hi Goran,   Thanks for the update!   Have you been able to power cycle both the TV and the soundbar by disconnecting power for 30 seconds? When you get the message on the TV, have you been able to download the app and setup the system? There may be a setting in the TV to default to specific input.  I would recommend checking the manual or phoning the TV manufacturer to see if this setting is available for your model TV.   Warm Regards, Tony A    1: Yes, over night   2: Yes. Setup with the app no problems. Works great with both remote and app. And Bass module 500.   3: No. There are no special settings in the HDMI. It is a Philips 55PFS6609/12   It only happens (?) when I have been watching TV. When it powers on again I just power it off with the Bose remote and it never happens until next time a have watched TV.  ... View more

I have the same problem. The TV turns on it self. The TV just shows HDMI 3 (Bose is connected here) and the "advert" to download the Bose app. The remote also shows "TV" active. (Blue)   /Goran ... View more
