I am probably missing something pretty simple but here it goes.


Problem: I want to stream content using Smarthub on my Samsung TV (like Vudu or Hulu) and be able to listen to it through my AVR (Denon 1910).


What would be the proper connections to do that?


Right now I have 1 HDMI from TV to HDMI switcher that connects to PS3 and DVR so I can watch 3D content since the 1910 is non 3D. I have another HDMI from the TV that is going to the AVR Monitor Out which I am only really using right now to view the AVR menu so I can put that in a different input if need be.

You'll need to connect an optical cable from the TV to the 1910.

Okay I'll try that thanks. Thought my days of running cables inside the wall while the TV is already hung were over.... One more cable.

As the 1910 is only HDMI 1.3 it does not support the ARC feature to pass the Smart TV apps back to the AVR over the HDMI cable that connects the AVR to the TV. That feature starts with the XX11 models.

Hi ruiz00tx, forget the optical cable and just watch Vudu and Hulu on the PS3.

That's another option I was thinking of as well.


One more question, if I was going to run an optical from AVR to TV, would that be on the Optical Out of the receiver? I hope so because the 2 optical inputs are already taken.

Sorry, but no ... you're trying to get the audio "from" the TV so it would be connected from the TV's optical audio out jack to one of the optical inputs on the AVR. You may need to add an optical switch to add more optical inputs.

Or get an Optical to Coaxial converter .

Thanks I think I will try that.
