Soundbar question
Forums:
I just purchased a samsung soundbar for our living room tv, also samsung. I have it wired via hdmi to the tv in the ARC in and out jacks. Sounds great when watching tv or streaming tv or music. When I play a blu-ray movie, I get all of the sounds except the dialogue, I am guessing the center channel. I have gone through as many options as I can in the tv settings. I have called samsung support, I had everything connected the way they suggested.
Has anyone here ever run into this situation and figured it out? Worst case scenario, I return the sound bar and connect my old home theater system back up in the living room. The garage may have to wait for an upgraded system.

Your single speaker- sound-bar is having a fit & won that battle.

It is a 5 channel soundbar. Specs say there are 8 speakers. I will try another hdmi cable, and I have another blu-ray player to try. Currently using a ps3, which could be the issue. Old tech? not sure.

Thanks everyone for your
Thanks everyone for your input.
I tried a new hdmi cable with the ps3, that was not the issue. Last year we picked up an after thanksgiving $59 samsung blu-ray player at a best buy. I plugged that one in and everything works as it should. Sounds really nice. Not as good as the receiver and speakers it is taking the place of, but those will have a new home in the garage. The goal was to get rid of some of the living room clutter and this will do the job. Now I have a fun garage project for the weekend.
