Need advice on 4k TV + 5.1 sound + PC installation (1 Viewer)

[k0200679]

Here is my hardware.

PC :

Video card: two HDMI out

SPDIF out on motherboard


TV: UE65HU9000 (4K, 4 HDMI inputs, one is ARC)

Home Theater: Sony BDV-N9100

5.1 Sound, 2 HDMI, 1 HDMI Out ARC, SPDIF in


I would like to make my 4k TV as an extended 4k monitor and 5.1 sound from my PC to Home Theater.

I am stuck in two different installation topologies, both of which are not ideal.


1 type of Installation:

HDMI OUT from PC ------ HDMI IN Home Theatre

HDMI OUT ARC Home Theatre ------ HDMI IN TV

In this case my PC provides 5.1 sounds to Home Theatre but only 1080p signal to TV.

I suppose it happens because my video card thinks that Home Theatre is the video final destination, rather than TV (Even though it says in manual that my Sony BDV-N9100 supports 4K output)


2 type of Installation:

HDMI OUT from PC ----- HDMI IN 4K TV

HDMI OUT ARC Home Theatre ----- HDMI IN ARC TV

In this case my video card send 4K signal to 4K TV properly, but because my TV has two speakers it send only 2 ch audio. Audio is transmitted from PC to Home Theater throe TV properly, but at the end I get only 2 ch sound from PC on my Home Theater

Return it for a real AVR and speakers. Problem solved.

There is no solution with HTiB (as in all HTiB, not just this one)

This HTiB, and all others like it, only "support" 4K content it creates via net or disc.

You need better balance in your budget. Spending $4,000 on a display and $500 on the entire surround sound system is NOT balanced.
