I'm a bit perplexed. My Vizio TV died. So I hooked up my old smaller Panasonic PlasmaTV. Here is the set up and problem.
I am running a Marantz AVR. Oppo player.
Hook up with the old Vizio. HMDI from Oppo to AVR to TV. Everything works. Optical connection from TV to Marantz. When I played normal TV i just selected TV on the Marantz and had surround sound while watch TV. Then if I wanted to watch a movie I just selected BD player. All is good for Movies and TV.
I have the exact set up on the older Panasonic Plasma.. However. I can not get sound when watching TV. Movies are fine... Just no sound when watching normal TV.. Can't figure it out. Any suggestions?
