Hi All,

I just ordered the Panasonic SC-HTE80 and i was wondering best way to set it up when it arrives.

I have the following devices i wish to pass through sound.

sky reciever
kodi media pc

both devices have hdmi.


here is the image of the back of the soundbar

if i just plug the hdmi cable from arc out to my arc input on my panasonic tv. will it pass the sound to all my other hdmi connected devices?

Normally ARC would be done Via the TV so you would plug it into the HDMI with the ARC label and then any sound the TV has comes through the sound board.

I see, so all my other connected hdmi devices that normally play sound through my tv will now also come through the soundbar.

I see there is another port called hdmi input for bluray/dvd. I take it this is for audio processing ? like dolby pro logic etc
 
I have just received this and its amazing. I was originally going to get a soundbar but opted for a soundbase platform.

its a small form factor and powerful sound and base is surprising.

I got the arc setup to my Panasonic tv. Unfortunately my tv doesnt support vera link, but does support cec and power off link.

The sound comes through tv and soundbase. i don't know if this is normal ?, i do get a echo double audio thingy happen. so I prefer to lower the tv sound and keep the soundbase volume high.

I have plugged in my kodi box via the hdmi input at the back to passthrough the sound directly and do the DTS and Dolby audio processing and its produces really amazing sound.
