I have a Sony Bravia, model # KDL-48R510C. It has 2 HDMI ports. Port 1 is (ARC). The Roku Express must go in port 1. If I connect the home theater system to port 2, the TV recognizes it but does not play sound. The model number for the HTS is DAV-TZ140. What do I need to do to be able to use the sound system with my Roku?
 
Solution
The tv has a 3.5mm headphone / lineout.

Roku to hdmi arc port & a 3.5mm to twin rca on the sony is your only option.

Youll only get stereo, you can use the prologic setting on the Sony to get simulated surround.
Port 2 works fine with other devices. When I plug the Roku into port 2 it gives an HDCP error. It seems like both devices need to be plugged into the ARC . My HTS has only composite inputs ( and outputs) and 1 HDMI output only. The HTS was a Mother's Day gift from my son a couple years ago, otherwise I would have given up already.
 


Thank You!!!
