Please help me fix this issue I have encountered since I purchased a new Sony Soundbar. My TV is HD ready but has no HDMI connection so I have connected the TV via Component Cables to the Verizon Aris VMS1000 box. The new Sony Soundbar accepts Optical, HDMI and analog connections.
I can only hook up the TV via Analog to get the sound but that's not good enough. Going from the Aris box I have two options HDMI or Optical. Optical sounds better but it's not HDMI. When I hook up a HDMI cable from the ARis box to the soundbar the sound is awesome but Picture goes away, i guess because it's hooked up to the TV via component? I'm not sure why i can't have sound via HDMI and picture via component. is this possible?
