Dunno. I have desktop powered planars plugged into the headphone jack. If you have no jack it probably is beyond my pay grade.
Soundbar AND home theater - but only one HDMI ARC
Help! For my casual everyday tv-watching, I really don't want to use my whole HT, I just want my soundbar system to be in use. However, this is NOT as easy as I thought, or am I missing something?
My tv's (Sony XBR-65X950G) HDMI ARC jack is going to my HT receiver. So my Sony remote controls the HT receiver volume perfectly.
However, now I cannot control my soundbar because it has to use the optical output from the tv and requires me to use my Harmony remote (wife hates it and I don't love it).
So, are people like me just out of luck? I wish there were two ARC jacks on the tv!
So, again, if my HT receiver is using the HDMI ARC, is there no good way to also have a soundbar in the system and it operate the way it's intended?
