Aomni tv input setup

I've never heard of being able to deactivate inputs on a TV. You just select which one you're using at the moment. Usually using a source button or source selection in an on-screen menu.

Ensure you set tv input and dvd output with remotes menu settings properly first

If your receiver has an HDMI input that you are connected to from an HDMI output of your TV; then yes you can listen to it in surround sound.
The HDMI input that you are using on your receiver must be designated as a TV input if it has the capability of being "assignable" in your receiver setup options; or otherwise just connected via HDMI on the rear or front panel of the chassis on TV inputs section.
Once the proper connections are confirmed, select your receiver input to TV. The TV output mode must be set to HDMI; or you will not get any sound or picture if that is the only connection. You'll have to refer to the receiver manual on how to do this if the output mode does not select automatically as I do not know what gear you are using.
If you have your speaker setup in a 5.0 or 5.1 setup; depending on the decoding capabilities of your receiver; you should be able to get audio through each channel in a variety of ways. Refer to your receiver manual for the decoding format compatibility. The decoding may also be performed by your TV as well.

Hi Caleb,
To resolve this, please perform the following steps:

• Turn off the TV and unplug the power cord

Select correct input source

• Press Input on the remote to go directly to the Input Select menu
• Select HDMI 1 or HDMI 2 (Refer to image below)

If the TV does not work, please follow these steps:

Verify the PIP/POP/PBP function is disabled ( PIP/POP/PBP Compatibility - The only input sources that cannot work together are HDMI with HDMI)

• Press the Menu button on the remote control or TV

LG documentation states:

When you use SIMPLINK function, you have to

connect to the OPTICAL IN 1 jack to enjoy TV
sound to your speaker system.

Basically you need to have the Audio go from TV to receiver and setup receiver to that Input to output surround sound to all speakers.

If you have a cable box or satellite receiver, hook that output into the receivers input and that should work.

My setup is DirectTv HDMI output goes into the LG Home Theater HDMI Input 1, and LG goes HDMI output into the TV HDMI input 1.
so to watch DirectTV, I switch LG Home theater to HDMI Input 1. and TV is on HDMI input 1 (to view LG HDMI output from DriectTV, Blu-Ray, Vudu, etc.)

If you can get a display with the default setup (original cords) follow this procedure:

a) Plug in BOTH the HDMI cord and the other display cords to your TV.

b) On your TV, using the disignated video input (not HDMI) you should have the main screen

c) Go to settings, and then display settings. Set up your display to read HDMI. Your screen will go dark.

d) Quickly change your TV input from video to HDMI and it should still be displayed. Save the changes.

e) Shut off the system, unplug the original cords leaving in just your HDMI cord and your designated audio cord (preferably fiber-optic).

f) Turn it back on and you should be good to go.

you have the output of the receiver going to the input of the TV?

i believe that you should be running the TV output to the receiver input to get your sound from the TV to the receiver and thus speakers.

the easiest setup is to just run your cable box and DVD player HDMI's into your TV inputs. then run another HDMI from the TV output to the receiver input.

The three inputs will all carry picture and sound. You then will definitely picture out to the TV but sometimes, depending on the manufacturer, no audio because it is assumed the the AV receiver will handle all of the audio duties therefore no need for audio at the TV.

For me, it was the Monitor Out setting that had defaulted back to Component. I remembered to change the individual inputs to HDMI - but had forgotten to set the Monitor Out to be HDMI.
