A:Answer Hi Sammy, Thank you so much for your inquiry!
Yes, you can hook up your Sony STR-AN1000 receiver to a Samsung sound bar and TV. Here are the steps you can follow:
Connect the TV to the Receiver:
Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) or eARC port on your TV to the HDMI ARC/eARC port on the Sony STR-AN1000 receiver. This will allow audio from the TV to be sent to the receiver.
Connect the Receiver to the Sound Bar:
If your Samsung sound bar supports HDMI ARC/eARC, you can connect it directly to the receiver using another HDMI cable. Connect the HDMI OUT (ARC/eARC) port on the receiver to the HDMI IN (ARC/eARC) port on the sound bar.
If the sound bar does not support HDMI ARC/eARC, you can use an optical cable. Connect the optical out port on the receiver to the optical in port on the sound bar.
Configure the TV and Receiver Settings:
On your TV, go to the audio settings and select the option to use an external audio system. This will ensure that the TV sends audio to the receiver.
On the receiver, make sure the input is set to the TV or the appropriate HDMI input.
Configure the Sound Bar Settings:
Ensure the sound bar is set to the correct input (HDMI or optical) to receive audio from the receiver.
By following these steps, you should be able to get audio from your TV through the Sony STR-AN1000 receiver and output it to your Samsung sound bar
Regards,
Carl
