Hi there,
I have connected my dcd8000 to my tv via HDMI, and can now watch video played from dcd8000 on my TV.
I want to use the system to play the audio from my TV, but I'm not able to do so as I can only find "digital audio out" on my tv, but I cannot find a "digital audio in" on the dcd8000.
As I cannot find LINE OUT on the TV, so I also cannot connect it to the dcd8000 using the AUX IN.
Does anyone knows how to get these 2 great Philips products to work together?
Thanks for your help.

Moderator, are you able to help to move it to the right place?
Thanks.
Hi,
the TV support HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) on HDMI Port 1 (see manual). If your DCD8000 also support ARC you should be able to hear audio via this connection (ARC need to be enabled on both devices - see manuals). Additionally, you can connect your TV with the following connections:
- headphone out (via adapter to Cinch)
- Digital S/PDIF out

Thanks Toengel, for your quick reply.
I read the whole manual of DCD8000, and there is no mention that the it has ARC via HDMI. I will try that out when I get home.
Your suggestion of using headphone out is workable, but I was hoping for a better quality connection.
Using the digital S/PDIF out would be ideal, but there is no digital in on the DCD8000.
