One thing to note is that if I use the smart control features (i.e. My last effort tonight after work is going to be to attempt to test using the Optical Audio cable and see if that works reliably. Kikkenit2 - That's unfortunately what I'm finding out. If the Optical Input channel will work any better I might just say F the whole thing and use that. The problem I'm now faced with is that I can go through the setup on the TV, but as soon as I power-cycle everything, nothing works again and I need to go back in and disable/re-enable everything in the setup. I'm thinking that I need the TV powered on by the Receiver. Apparently there are issues if both devices get sent power signals. Now I need to figure out how to get the device power all sorted out in my Harmony remote so that I can get it to work reliably. In fact the Vizio documentation indicates that "all you need to do to get ARC to function is connect the ARC port in the HDTV to the ARC port on your other component and everything will auto-configure". ![]() So there is a CEC function on the Television, it's "hidden" under System settings and none of the manuals indicate you need to go here. I really need to get this to work, as one of my prime reasons for this purchase was to use Netflix and Hulu Plus via the TV & Receiver. I can't find any related settings to ARC on the Vizio. Initially I thought it would just work, but did some digging online and saw that I needed to enable HDMI Control (and ARC) on the Yamaha for AV4, and I believe I've done that correctly. I have the HDMI1 (ARC) input from my Vizio connected to the OUTPUT (ARC) on the Yamaha, and no matter what I do, I can't get the SmartTV apps on the Vizio to send sound to the receiver. I even upgraded my cables to make sure I purchased one that supported ARC, even though my current cable supports 3D without issue. I also just purchased a Yamaha RX-V671 brand new. As mentioned in the title, I have a Vizio M551d-A2R purchased brand new from Best Buy a week ago. My setup for testing is extremely simple. Howdy all! This is my first time here as a poster to these forums, but I've been lurking for a bit! I'm hoping you guys can help me out, for the life of me I can get the Audio Return Channel to function between my TV and my Receiver.
