Hello! I’m trying to connect the audio (only) FROM a Samsung Series 6000 HD LED TV TO an Onkyo AV Receiver HT-RC160. (I purchased both of them in 2011, so they’re getting a little long in the tooth. I only use the Onkyo to process audio signals, not TV signals—that’s way too complicated for me.)
Seems to me that this should be relatively simple and straightforward, but I’ve tried everything I can possibly find in the instruction manuals for both devices as well as online, with no success. Onkyo sup[ort hs not responded to my please for help. Can anyone help me? I know the problem can be with either one of the devices, or possibly both of them, but I’m unable to eliminate either one.
Here’s what I’ve tried:
I’ve scoured the Onkyo manual thoroughly, and I’ve managed to connect a VCR and a DVD player to the TV, and a cassette tape deck to the receiver with no problem—they all work fine—so I consider myself fairly competent. I’m confident that my various cables are good.
Can anyone please help clear up this problem? Many thanks!

Here’s what I’ve tried:
- Digital audio out (audio) on the TV to the optical digital in ports on the receiver (I tried them both)
- HDMI from the TV to the receiver (interestingly, I say a post here from 2014 about Onkyo doing a recall because of problems with audio from TVs using HDMI!)
- Analog audio from audio out port on the TV to appropriate inputs on the receiver
