I have a question, I have a Mitsubishi DLP 60c9 (2009 model) and was wondering...do the HDMI ports support ARC?
Reason I ask, is I am looking for a decent way to upgrade its sound, was thinking a soundbar setup kinda like this one:
http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/...specifications
I just dont know how to hook all my stuff up to the tv and this.
I have devices that dont have HDMI ports.
I have a wii, an older multi dvd player without hdmi.
I plan on adding a BD player eventually.
I want to hear the tv sound through this bar as well. ( I have baby basic comcast cable going into TV, has digital and analog channels)
The DVD player has only coaxial digital out for audio. (other than RCA L/R but I want multichannel audio)
The wii has just stereo RCA L/R out.
So I assume on the soundbar, I plug the coaxial digital out from DVD player into that port on soundbar.
Plug the wii L/R to the audio in L/R on soundbar.
(all video out on the above devices go in to tv right?)
Then since the coaxial digital is being used by DVD on soundbar, I have to use the L/R RCA from tv to soundbar instead?
Does anything then need to be plugged in to the TV from soundbar? like the HDMI output?
Also, when I get the BD Player, I assume I just run the HDMI from that, to the soundbar then HDMI from soundbar to TV?(would this be the only time I actually need to run something from soundbar to TV in terms of HDMI out?, which may not be needed for other devices above?)
So, if I have this figured correctly, if the TV supports ARC...I wouldnt need to run the extra analog RCA audio L/R from TV to receiver RCA to get the TV/cable sound going to receiver right? Its not needed for any other function of my devices correct?
Another question just popped into my head...
My TV sits on a stand thats pretty deep, would it be fine to just put the soundbar sitting on the stand in front of the TV? Or does this hinder its sound...(vs putting it on wall on top , behind tv?)
Thanks
