Good morning!!!!

Anyone know if receiver is supposed to get the audio from the hdmi, as it comes in from components, and not returned from the ARC link, or optical audio to the tv?
My understanding ARC is only to get the TV audio since it has no input. I need to order an optical audio cable

I'm confused, Buckeye. Is your TV an audio/video source? These days, or at least in my case, the TV gets audio/video from a satellite or cable box, or something like an AppleTV. So each of those devices get plugged into receiver INPUTS, then a single HDMI cable goes from the OUTPUT of the receiver to the INPUT of the TV. But if you're using the TV to capture over-the-air signals, then you you can use an HDMI cable from the OUTPUT (sometimes called a feed through) of the TV to an INPUT of the receiver. Pioneer's manuals are usually pretty easy to understand, but I think they also have a toll free line to call in. I've never had to use it, though. Hope this helps, and good luck!

ARC (audio return channel) returns tv sound to the receiver. Not sure mine supports ARC, but it does have fiber audio output, which can connect to receiver to do the same function. Manual shows both methods of returning tv sound to the receiver.

Need it for ota, if using the tv tuner. I do have ota dvr that will also go thru receiver, so could use it.

However, when i hook satellite receiver, or blu ray thru the new receiver, i get no sound from the receiver, only from the tv speakers.

Today was supposed to be tractor day, but the alcove like area behind my garage where my trailer is, still has around 2’ of snow covering the 20’ approach and the trailer itself. I haven’t felt well enough to shovel it, it would take half a day. I’m hoping enough melts today to get my truck in there and hook it up. Then I can pull it around to the side and shovel it out. I don’t want to tear up the lawn getting it out. If only kids today had any work ethic I could hire a couple away from their X Box and Twitter.

 

[toppop52]

Upper 20s early, around 50 later, I hope it melts this crappy snow!

I hope you guys have a good day and life is good to you all.

No, didnt think of that, thanks.

I put the receiver under my tv, stereo is too far away to reach the other components right now.

25° planning on going to work for a couple hrs today.

BEF;

I have a fiber optic cable from 65” Samsung TV to Pioneer receiver. Regardless of whether I’m on Dish Network or Bluetooth DVD audio works.

Hi bird, ever get those lawn tractor tires squared away

How long ago are you thinking of.:laughing: I did put a tube in one rear tire on my last lawn tractor. But I went back to walk behind, self-propelled mowers. I had a good Toro, but gave it to my grandson, and now I use an Ego self-propelled that I really like.

 

[rswyan]

34F and mostly cloudy @ 10:30, high today should hit 46F.

Got that new (old) lid for the other Magnum filter installed last night, also finished cleaning one of the sponge filters. Had to use boiling water to get the old fittings and valves out of the vinyl tubing on the Magnum. Have a little HOB filter to clean out today.

Have to bring the tractor around back this morning and move about twenty 2 x 4's up to the garage where the saws are, so they can be cut. Probably try to clear the slop off the driveway down here around the house while I'm at it.

After that, head over to the license bureau to renew the registration on the van, then mebbe the trip to Menards.

Happy Birthday RS ...

Thanks.

... and get to sell some fish as well :thumbsup:

... definitely a bonus ... :laughing:

 

[rswyan]

Happy birthday rs!

Thanks Kyle.

... I like those diablo blades too. They sure cut smooth when brand new.

Yeah ... I've seen a lot of positive comments on them.

I put one on the table saw a while back and it cut nice ... haven't used it enough to say how it will hold up long-term, but so far so good.

Good Morning!!!! 50F Cloudy. Periods of rain this morning. High 51F. Winds SSE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 80%.

Looks like we picked up another inch of rain yesterday, and another 0.04" since midnight. So far it's all been pretty gentle, giving it a chance to soak in. Having said that, though, the waterfall across the canyon is roaring, and is once again visible from the front porch.:thumbsup: Not much in the way of wind, either, and that's very good news for the new tarp over the wood pile.

Sounds like you folks back east are getting a little break in the weather. Hope it lasts!

Sorry, Buckeye, you're on your own on ARC. I don't think anything here uses it, and I've never heard of it before. Maybe a little RTFM (Read The Friendly Manual) is in order? :laughing: I really wonder at this stuff sometimes, about how much more complicated it can get and still be marketable to average Joes like us. But then maybe that's why companies like the Geek Squad are flourishing?

It got to the point here that I had to break down and buy a programmable Logitec remote controller. I've been using inexpensive RCA controllers and the open source JP-1 software to do the same thing, but the new devices weren't being supported and I used it so infrequently I was having trouble remembering how it all worked. With the Logitec, it just plugs into the laptop, you find the devices in a drop down list, and the software sets up the macros needed to switch between all the different inputs. I was surprised it works as well as it does.

Spent most of yesterday getting turned down for homeowner's insurance. None of the online quotes I tried would work, and the clerks I talked to were all very apologetic, but it's now sounding like if your house is more than five miles from a fire station manned 24x7x365 and there's no fire hydrant within 1000', you're SOL for homeowner's insurance. At least from the major companies; I tried The Hartford, State Farm, Farmers, Geico, Progressive, Allstate, and AAA. I have a quote from Scottsdale, which is apparently a Nationwide subsidiary, but their Yelp! reviews are horrible and Moody's just downgraded Nationwide's outlook to negative. I have a couple more to try today, but it's not looking good.

In the better news department, the old motorcycle transmission came back yesterday, as did a replacement engine stud for the non-stainless steel one that was shipped by mistake. Maybe this afternoon I'll get some garage time, but I said the same thing yesterday.

Happy Hump Day gang!

65°F and no rain.

Our Canadian guests got in about 2AM. Not sure why it took so long to get from the airport, about 3 1/2 hours, but will be interesting to find out. Dave helped me install the new solar panels last year. Nothing planned for this year until he talks me into it.
Glad to read the good news of improving health.

Be safe
Have a great day

Happy birthday RS!

Thanks toppop ... hope you are feeling better soon.

Happy Birthday, RS

Thanks David.

Happy Birthday, RS!

Thanks Billy.

Good to hear The Squeak is up to some mischief.

Mischievous is The Squeak's first name ... it is constant and never-ending ... except for when she is asleep.

RS, Happy Birthday.

Thanks Ed ... hoping that all goes well with Mom's doctor visit.

... Happy birthday.... rswyan

Thanks CWB.

They are saying that our upcoming snow event may end up being mostly rain east of I-71 ... which would be ok with me ... other than it will probably mean some ice eventually.

Rswyan- Although we have not been formally introduced; I wish you a belated birthday. I hope your expectations were met, or even better exceeded.

Thanks Jay.

If on dish, would you have sound in the receiver IF you didnt have the optic cable from the tv?
Ie, does hdmi sound just gets passed thru to the tv, and the receiver gets it from the optic feedback.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

RNG,

The manual has been read, and reread. I downloaded it and read it before ordering the receiver.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Got blu ray sound working on receiver, without tv feedback.
Unfortunately, Not sure what setting change did it.

One change was to 2.1, instead of 7.1 for speakers. The sound drop out might have been sound going to speakers i dont have.

 

[jerrybob]

Good morning. Quite a pleasant change to our weather, dry, sunny and several degrees above freezing.

I have been waiting since the last snow fall for the young man to return with his post knocker and pound in some more fence posts and he's back today - while I'm 80 miles away. I hope they all go in the right place, if not pulling out a few 4" posts is easy, however 8' x 8" strainers don't take quite so kindly to being re-positioned.




Me too jerrybob. Best of all is those few seconds immediately after the trunk hits the ground - when I realize I'm still alive

Or when that trunk splits right at the last second and explodes! Always gotta be careful.
Today......45F right now.......grey skies and light rain. Got several more trees to take down........but they will wait......gonna help a buddy put an engine back in a 1947 fire engine.......make it parade ready!

A pleasant 35 and snow slowly melting, Rain for the weekend. Headed out for a haircut this morning and thinking of heading to the car wash get the road film cleaned off.
RS hope you enjoyed your birthday

No, until I installed the optic cable from my TV to the 5.1 receiver no sound via the HDMI cables. Now my setup is about 8 years old from when we built the house at the ranch. I upgraded the TV from a 55” LCD to 65” LED but same result, still needed the optic cable.

But like RNG stated, once you get desperate enough you may have to look at your manual.

I used to stay up to date on audio systems but, it all sped by me years ago.

Thanks, got sound working with hdmi only. Made some setting changes. I need the fiber for tv sound.
