It sucks having to keep that fob at the couch, but it beats spelunking for the plug every couple of weeks.


The problem I'm having sadly can't be addressed like that. Powering of the amp only sometimes fixes it (and power cycling the TV never appears to fix it).

Today it got worse:

- turned on TV
- no sound
- tried power cycling amp
- no sound
- switched TV to internal speaker
- watched YouTube for a couple of minutes
- TV switched back to ARC by itself
- no sound

ARGH

To further taunt me, I've noticed that the amp displays "TV speaker" when you change the TV to internal speaker, so there is clearly communication going on between them.
