Hi Mo -
I have a sighted partner, so it's not just about getting the sound right for me.
My TV and sound Bar are Panasonic, and the first bit of kit on the set up will
be the TVonics [when I get it.]
Do you think there is much likelihood in the sound being compromised from these
3 pieces being connected to each other? Do you know, or anybody else on list
able to say what the sound quality is like from the TVonics?
Thinking about it a bit, isn't it always the case when a piece of kit, such as
ann. old VHS, or now DVDR or PVR machine is the first item connected to the
input source [aerial] that that machine will determine the sound quality? -

Hi Andy.
Yep that sounds about right. The more devices you have between HDMI sources
the more processing goes on. There are different versions of HDMI, it may be
that your devices have different versions/varients depending on how old they
are. Also, the cables can make a difference. The tvonics has an SPDIF socket on
the back, why not connect directly to your amp or whatever if sound's your main
concern? And to clarify, yes sound is obviously bought in to the unit via your
aerial in the first instance.
cheers,
Mo.

Hi all -
If I have a set up that starts with the aerial going in to the TVonics, and
then from there, an HDMI cable going to my TV, and then an HDMI from the ARC
socket on the TV going to my sound bar, then which machine is controlling the
sound quality?
What I mean, if the first bit of kit in the set up processes sound poorly,
then no matter how good the last bit is, the sound quality will have been
compromised. Is that correct?
Basically, when the aerial bring the signal in to the TVonics, is it
processed there, before passing to the TV, processed again there, and then
passed to my sound bar's amp, and processed again? -
