Samsung HT-D355 - Samsung TV LE32D404E2W - Apple TV 4k | How to connect?

[That Phil]

Hi,

Specs:

TV: Samsung LE32D404E2W,
ports: HDMI IN 1(DVI) & 2, USB, Headphone, EXT, FM ANT.

Receiver: Samsung HT-D355,
ports: Optical Digital in, HDMI out, component out, aux in, video out, FM ANT.

Apple TV 4k (aka "ATV"), only 1 HDMI.

Question:

How do I connect the three together to use the recivers audio? I thought I could connect the ATV directly to the TV, likewise connect the Receiver to the TV through HDMI, but no. I only manage to get the ATV to work with the TVs built-in audio. Is it possible to connect it through arc eventhough none of the TVs HDMI ports list it? If you go through the receivers settings you find "HDMI Audio", but no similiar setting is found in the TVs settings.

Please help me,

Thanks,

-Philip

If the tv doesn’t have ARC then it won’t connect with the receiver as an audio out source. You can run 3.5 to 3.5 from tv to receiver. That’s about it. You’ll need to update something in the system if you want to

run arc or any other audio. Bear in mind that 3.5 audio coming out will sound pretty meh.
