How do I connect my Beam to my old Bush TV?

I can't figure out which cable(s) I need to connect my Beam to my Bush LED TV.

Thanks controlav.  What does “OP” stand for?  And are you saying that if I tried plugging the Beam into a different HDMI port in the TV, that might solve the problem?

No HDMI ARC, or optical output that I can see.

You’ll need to connect the TV COAX audio output to an optical converter, then use the SONOS optical to HDMI-ARC converter. Page 21 of the manual shows audio settings.

Or, buy a newer TV.

    Thanks for these replies. The funny thing is, the beam worked fine with my current TV (on a straight HDMI to HDMI connection) until last week when it suddenly stopped recognising the sound from the TV. I don't understand why that should be, assuming there hasn't been some software update to the Beam that has changed things.

    Can anyone tell me what cable I need to connect the COAX audio output on the TV to an optical converter?

    By “my current TV” do you mean this 40/233FDV that we are discussing?

    Yes that’s right.  As I say, the Beam was working fine until last week so I’m looking to get it connected again.

    Try disconnecting the HDMI cable and powering down BEAM and the TV for a couple minutes. After the units reboot, reconnect the HDMI cable.

      That’s strange. The Bush does not do HDMI-ARC, which means it should not have worked with the TV…….
