Good day everyone.
I've just completed another round of updates and tweaks to see if we can help out those of you with slow-forums issues out there.
Hopefully this latest round of changes will make everyone happy :-)
On a totally unrelated subject, for those of you who are interested, I recently found an interesting bug in Samsung TVs.
Any Series 6 or Series 8 TVs come with an ARC (Audio Return Channel) on HDMI2.
So I thought to myself : W00t !! Now my TV will relay audio based on the source I choose back into my Receiver !
Well, as it turns out, I was half right. The ARC will relay the audio from any source back to your receiver as long as your receiver is on HDMI2.... BUT IT WILL ONLY RELAY STEREO !!!
Why ? Well, as far as I can tell, it looks like the TV itself advertises its output as Stereo Only (since that's pretty much what's built-in to the damn thing).
Funny thing is that it does the same thing on Optical out.
Moral of the story, use your receiver as your HDMI switch instead.
Until my next appearance, I bid you all an excellent time.
