GordonThree...System works great without the cable box...just like you described with the HDMI-ARC cord between TV and Blu-ray/sound system. Yes, the speakers are connected to the Blu-ray. It's only since the cable box was added (which will be temporary while at this RV park for the winter) that I can't get the sound system working.
shastagary...Ok, I connected an optical audio cable from TV to Blu-ray and changed the speaker setting on TV. Turned on the blu-ray and sound is now coming out of ceiling speakers. But...the remote for the blu-ray will not control the volume (up/down/mute) like it did before. I can control volume directly on the blu-ray device. Weird. And the cable TV remote will only control the volume if I use the TV speaker. Of course, I don't want to be getting up every time I want to change or mute the volume. So still a problem.
Regarding connecting the cable box to Blu-ray...Both devices only have HDMI out, not in. Blu-ray has Optical Digital Audio in and Aux in, but cable box doesn't have those out.
