Panasonic st60 &net flick question

How are you sending audio from the TV to the sound system?

Shouldn't we be asking how he has an ST60 already?

apps accessed from viera need to go through ARC. I had trouble with this and ended up connecting a optical back to the AVR then in the TV's menu switching from HDMI to a different input. Sorry I don't remember but it's the same thing as plugging a video camera or SD card directly to the TV. You have to drop down to a different input than whatever is running through HDMI channels.

Maybe others will chime in as I'm very much a novice but viera apps didn't play well even though my HDMI is going through the ARC outlet.

Until the OP answers the question about how he's feeding audio from the TV to the receiver, it's hard to provide meaningful assistance.

As gromicide stated, when using your TV as a source, you must send the audio to the receivers input from the TV's audio output. An optical is the easiest route. While your TV is running the Netflix program you must select the appropriate optical audio connection (receiver) and you'll be set.

There are two choices. You can use the Audio Return Channel to feed sound from the TV to the receiver over the same HDMI cable that sends video from the receiver to the TV. That can be complicated to set up and a bit flaky to operate. Or, you can run an optical cable from the TV's digital audio output to an input on the Denon. You may need to enable the TV's audio output. (With some TVs, the output is always active, with others there's a setting to allow the audio output.). Then, select whatever input you are using on the Denon to hear the sound.

There's no "plugging into audio return". ARC makes use of the same HDMI cable that feeds video from the AVR to the TV. Hence the name Audio Return Channel. But, there are configuration steps to get it working. The Denon and Panasonic manuals will explain what you need to do. Optical is generally easier to use. Just follow the steps in my previous post.

I couldn't get the ARC to do what it's supposed to do. I own an ST30 and assume it's the same hardware. Like I said, I ended up doing the optical cable and selecting that in the menu when I need to either run a viera app or plug my smartphone, video camera etc directly to the TV. I'm using an onkyo AVR but basically same outcome. Anything sourced from the TV - I switch to optical as the HDMI/ARC gets me nothing.

folks, i have an st60 and after reviewing these posts, i'm beginning to think panny has a problem. here's the deal. i just replaced my st30 with this st60. it should've been as simple as plugging in one hdmi cable and my back-up conventional antenna. weeks later with much frustration, picture and apps aside, this set is just weird.

the st30 was setup with hdmi/arc to a yammy recvr. worked perfectly. the directv box and bd were attached to the recvr's hdmi ports and the recvr's output was plugged into the st30's hdmi/arc port. life was good. everything played thru the recvr including the tv apps and the local channels.

it must've been too good.

this st60 will only output tv audio thru the optical port. no longer is there a special setting to turn off the tv spkrs. so now u get output to the connected recvr and the tv unless u turn the tv spkrs down. btw, they also eliminated hdmi/cec support for many if not all brands other than panny. so have fun juggling your remotes or plan to buy a uni. for those who use directv, there is a workaround. the directv remotes have some support for recvrs and can be configured to control volume without having to constantly play with the slider at the top of the remote. u can configure av1/2 to operate your recvr (vol) and use a 2nd code (993) to make it the default device for volume. instructions are on the dtv settings menu.

bottom line, it appears that panny has a problem with arc. i do hope someone's patient enough to call it in. their helpless desk ppl can be frustrating.
