Hi UtahDave, Thank you for your question! The short answer is no, you cannot connect your components through the Sony receiver and expect the sound to flow into the BRAVIA Theater System 6. This is because both the receiver and the BRAVIA Theater System 6 are standalone audio systems. Your Vizio TV is designed to output sound to only one external audio system at a time via the HDMI-ARC/eARC port. When you have both connected, they essentially compete for control, and the TV cannot bridge the audio signal from the receiver over to the BRAVIA Theater System 6. To make this work, you must remove the STR-DH590 receiver from the setup entirely. The BRAVIA Theater System 6 is designed to be your primary sound system. You should plug your DVD player, CD player, and other components directly into the open HDMI ports on your Vizio TV. The TV will then act as the central hub, taking the audio from those devices and sending it down the single HDMI-ARC cable to your BRAVIA Theater System 6. We hope you find this information helpful, and thanks for considering Sony! Regards, Dominick
