[QUOTE="ovisser1, post: 1166297, member: 26038"] tl:dr; I'm wondering how to set up something along the lines of ARC/CEC on a Sony STR-K1500 so the tv can control power and the volume). I inherited a Sony STR-K1500, of which I am naturally super sentimental so not really keen on replacing it. I'm wondering how to set it up to be controlled from the TV (on/off and audio volume). Some background, It has worked before, I just don't understand how.... I used to have an Xbox one, connected to an [URL='https://www.takealot.com/hdmi-arc-opt-3-5mm-audio-de-embedder/PLID72735225']HDMI audio extractor[/URL], from there it used optical to go into the receiver and hdmi into my old tv. I played around on the Xbox settings, and it managed to control the receiver via the xbox controller. Whenever the xbox powered on/off, it would do the same on the receiver. Same with volume control, if I changed the xbox volume it would change on the receiver. Here is why I'm asking; My setup used to be xbox > hdmi audio extractor > (via optical) the receiver && (via hdmi) the tv I have since sold the xbox, and recently bought a new tv. My setup now is TV > (via optical) receiver The TV does support arc and cec, but it doesn't look like the receiver does. How can I get the same functionality to work again ? I assume I can use TV > (via hdmi) > audio extractor > (via optical) receiver, but hoping I can skip the middleman and do it directly from the TV to the receiver. The TV is [URL='https://toshiba-tv.com.au/product/65-z770k-series/']65" Z770K Series - Toshiba Australia[/URL] The receiver is [URL='https://www.hifispeaker.wiki/item/sony-str-k1500']Sony STR-K1500 specs, manual & images[/URL] The audio extractor I used to use is [URL]https://www.takealot.com/hdmi-arc-opt-3-5mm-audio-de-embedder/PLID72735225[/URL] [/QUOTE]
