You can convey any audio format you can convey using S/PDIF optical via ARC as well as DD+ which you cannot convey via optical. Only the 2 Jack Ryan seasons on Amazon include Atmos, but you would also have access to this via ARC. You cannot do this using optical seeing as optical hasn't the ability to convey DD+ encoded audio. You'd also be able to convey Atmos in association with Netflix audio via ARC if and when such audio is available. THis would negate the need for an additional optical audio cnnection from the TV to your AV receiver. I'd suggest that you intially try enabling HDMI ARC so that you can convey audio sourced via the TVout to the AV receiver using the HDMI connection between them. However, now that I've bought (but not yet installed) the Denon x3500H, what will be the best configuration for me to use going forward for Sky, Polish Sat (both HDMI), Plex and Amazon Prime (both TV apps)?ġ) I'm guessing I should use the HDMI (ARC) connection from the TV to the Receiver but will this enable the sound from the Plex and Amazon Prime apps?Ģ) Will I need to change input on the Denon X3500H frequently? (hoping I won't have to as I don't have to at the moment).ģ) Will I be able to get the DTS Virtual:X audio using this configuration?

I like being able to select my sources from the TVs menu as it means I only need to use the one LG remote rather than the current config with my old Sony Receiver where that is the source. I currently have my TV connected to my old Sony STR-DA-3300ES Amp via HDMI (1.4 cable) and an Optical cable which allows the units connected to the TV via HSMI (Sky Box and other Satellite receiver for Polish TV) to have audio played through the receiver (I also use the Plex App and Amazon Prime Apps from the TV very frequently). I'd like to ask for recommendations of the best way to set this up. I've just bought a Denon AVR-X3500H Receiver to go with my new LG OLED65C8CPLA TV.
