Im using 4.1HDMI and Samsung ES8000 3DTV ..when i connect the ps3 through the tv the movie play fine but when i connect it to the home theater it didn't show at all: / .
Help plzzz
If you want to use the 3D portion of the BluRay yes the receiver must also be able to process it. You will need to just watch the non 3D BluRay if you want to use the HD audio.
You can also run the HDMI to the display and run optical to the receiver for the audio but you will only get Dolby digital or DTS 5.1
So o have to buy a new amplifier: / thx alot man.
Another question.. how can i know if my Home theater support arc? I can't hear the audio from the tv on the speakers. How can i connect it?
If your receiver doesn't support 3D, it won't support ARC either. These are both HDMI v1.4 features.
The cheapest thing to do would be to get an HDMI splitter. It's not terribly convenient to set up and use, but if it is only for 3D, maybe it isn't too bad. The wiring diagram would be something like this:
Receiver HDMI Output --> TV HDMI 1 Input (or whatever it is now)
PS3 --> Splitter Input
Splitter Output A --> Receiver PS3 Input
Splitter Output B --> TV HDMI 2 Input
For 2D viewing, everything would be as you have it now: Receiver on PS3 Input, TV on HDMI 1.
For 3D viewing, you would switch the TV to bypass the receiver: Receiver on PS3 input, TV on HDMI 2, mute the TV volume.
ARC is normally only available on the mid to higher end receivers. Only HDMI 1.4 supports that as well.
