Setting up a new receiver with my spare tv for the bar. Stupid tv has a digital coaxial output and my receiver is optical.
I seen there was a converter made by C2G but I have no idea what's good , if this is even the right approach etc

anyone been there done this before ?
 


I couldn't believe how LIMITED the input/outputs on my New TV were LG4k7700series. No RCA, just HDMI and Optical (and component but who even uses that).
 


But I want all 4 hdmi's plugged into the tv and one line out of the tv to the receiver. My tv only has digi coax out or rca audio out.
Not optical like my other tvs

Then what is the receiver for? I have everything go to my receiver and my receiver does all the switching, TV needs power, one HDMI and coax (cable/antenna) for tv
 
Some receivers mess with the signal and drop out and just make things annoying. My Harmon Kardon-AVR does that. Won't allow a DVD to play from my 360 and until I got a newer model Cable receiver it would constantly drop audio for 3-5 seconds is my guess.
 


Yes the tv is from 2009 it's a Philips. It doesn't have another outputs

That's what I mean. I want all the sources connected to the tv to have one audio out from the tv to the surround sound receiver.
So I can set the receiver to "tv" and whatever source is selected on the tv will play through the receiver (like how it's set up in my living room)

the receiver has arc but not the tv. The receiver only has digital optical
 
I've never had a receiver drop or have any loss. Onkyo TX-609, I plan to upgrade to the TX-636 or 737 soon so I can do full 4k content (HTPC)

I had a Sony before this H/K one, but don't think I tried the Xbox until the other day the the bluray died. With my old cable box it would drop out the audio. I have all JBL speakers and thought this H/K would be better and needed to upgrade to HDMI inputs for the different sources. I miss my old Onkyo stereo, but it was a 2.0 unit, but sounded great at the time.

You might want to check your cables. I've seen audio drop out, it was the HDMI cable failing.
 
Yeah I went through a bunch of them and had Comcast come out every week for like 2 months, they would change it out and same thing. I finally went directly to the TV and it stopped. When I got a newer box I changed it back and now it doesn't drop out on that input but the Xbox gives a fault that says it's the AV receiver when I try to play a disc, haven't had time to fool with it and see if a game actually plays haven't turned it on in 2 years. lol
