Smart TV HDMI to Yamaha Receiver RX-V377
I have connected my Smart TV (Samsung) ARC port to HDMI port of my Yamaha Receiver. However, when I start the receiver, it shows that it is connecting using AV4 port .
Also, when I am planning HD Movies on Amazon Prime , the sound stutters (or breaks) ... sound is OK if I play directly on TV.
Any idea how I can fix this problem and/or if an Optical Cable will help ?
BTW, I do not have a HDMI port in my cable box -- old style box with Co-ax cable

Are there any other outputs on your cable box...... maybe component.... uses three RCA type jacks ?
The receiver is a basic A/V switcher with HDMI. No streaming. So that would mean you are playing/streaming movies directly to the TV and then to the receiver for audio processing ?

The cable box do not have any other output but I am not concerned with the cable box. I can even disconnect the cable box.
My main problem is, when I am playing an Amazon Prime HD movie in my smart TV (through wifi) , how do I get HD sound to the Yamaha Receiver (and Bose speakers connected to it)

Thanks much. Yes, for Audio only. Will use optical. Do you have suggestion for which Optical Cable to use ? Are the cheap ones OK or is it more like what you pay is what you get ?

Can you clarify this one for me--doesn't the HDMI and digital audio (coaxial or optical) carry the same digital Dolby-encoded audio signal from the TV? I'm not clear why the receiver processed the audio better when using the separate audio connection.
I didn't think it was even possible to use the video only on one HDMI input while using the optical digital audio--they're on different inputs.

OK I see your point regarding video connection not needed--but still thought it was the same audio signal being shared across different receiver inputs.
I guess that's a question in itself--many source components have audio available on the HDMI jack, via optical and coaxial digital, and if supported also encoded on L&R analog outputs. Is the signal the same regardless?
