Netflix through AVR-2321CI?

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
Usually I watch Netflix on a TV configured as a secondary monitor of my PC. The connection from the AVR to TV is HDMI.

How could I do the same thing through my AVR, with the benefit of a better sound reproduction? TIA.

Is the Netflix source the PC or the TV? Does your TV support HDMI 1.4(ARC)?

Thanks for replying.

At present the PC on which runs Netflix (in Firefox) is connected through HDMI to the TV (input 2). The TV is configured in the PC as a second monitor and this works.

The TV is a Panasonic TC-P65GT30. Its HDMI Input 1 supports the ARC feature. This is the input to which the Denon AVR is connected. All TV inputs support HDMI 1.4 but only one supports ARC, says the specification, at:

As I understand your questions, you mean the recovering of the sound sent by the PC to the TV, by sending it further to the AVR. I gave this idea a thought but I found it somehow convoluted (maybe also because it sounds complicated to me).

I have the impression that the obvious method to do the things is to connect the PC, through HDMI, to the AVR (the distribution center of the whole A/V system, isn't it?) and:

- to use the pass-through HDMI function of the AVR to send the signals to the TV
- to recover in the AVR the sound coming from the PC and to send it to the speaker system

It looks maybe obvious, but I haven't found something in the documentation about how to do it.

Yes, treat the PC as any other HDMI source (ie. cable box, BDP, etc.) and simply connect it directly to the AVR so the audio can play through the surround speakers and the video passes through to the TV. Otherwise, with the PC connected to the TV, you should be able to use the HDMI(ARC) feature and pass stereo audio back to the AVR (set HDMI Control on the AVR to "ON", and VieraLink on the TV to "ON" with audio going to external speakers).

Did it again, this time by using the Game2 input of the AVR, and it worked! Many thanks.
