@td47 @td47 I don't know how all this got doubled up! ! But at first I did not have the optical audio out hook up I was just trying to get ARC to work. I do have it hooked up now so we can have sound while watch LG apps( Netflix and Amazon Prime). As you can see they are a combo choice but you have to have the Simplink on in order for the ARC to function. I just received the new HDMI cable this evening, Amazon's 2 day shipping took 4 days, so will start on it again tomorrow. I have downloaded the app to my phone which I like makes maneuvering the the Anthems menu easier. Why they would not have an on screen menu in a AVR at this price point who knows. But I digress will let you know if it works out.
Thanks for helping
