Audio input only Sony BDV-N590

Hi

I've worked through the manual but can't find or understand(!). i've got a new Smart TV and I want to watch iPlayer/Amazon/tuner on the TV and have the audio output played through the surround sound system. How can I do this without the system trying to take over the video feed? I want to use my HDMI cable.

thanks in advance

  Yes

Ok, so... In your TV's MENU I think you have to find a SUB MENU for Audio customization and inside this, maybe, you are able to find a value for a choice between TV Speakers and Audio System...

Thanks - I've done that but the BDV keeps grabbing the video on the TV. When I turn on the TV, the BDV automatically turns on and then I lose my TV's picture as it switches to the BDV menu

In TV's MENU you have, I think, a voice for Control for HDMI... Try to change the parameters inside for resolve this "issue"...

Thanks - I'm making progress! 

When I select audio output [HDMI-Receiver] on the TV, it turns on the BDV and the video stays as live TV. The BDV displays 'TV' on the console but there is no sound coming out - even with volume turned up.

What do I need to do with BDV to play the sound?

[Marino.Manolo]

In the BDV have you choice the correct input?

And... Have you choice Auto in [System Settings] > [HDMI Settings] > [Audio Return Channel]?

BDV input is down as TV. The TV sound output is down as HDMI Receiver.

System settings as attached:

The problem is that: All appears ok...

Try to unplug and plug the cables...
