I also like the idea of trimming down the amount of devices and such that I have in the living room. So the soundbar connects directly into the TV and there's no need for the receiver, right?
I was intrigued by the Samsung soundbar that TranaGreg mentioned. I could potentially get wireless rear speakers too, was looking at this; Samsung SWA-9000S Rear Wireless Speaker Kit. That's also something I could do at a later time. Do any of you know of a way to get a wireless setup for rear speakers to connect to the soundbar where you don't have to buy speakers? Where I could use my Orb speakers? Is that a thing?
WAF = Wife Acceptance FactorIt certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

The Soundbar with surround sound is easy peasy.

Originally posted by revo View PostYep -- ARC worked perfectly. When I tried a setup using HDMI to my 7.1 receiver, everything went haywire. I have no idea why. It may have had to do with misplacing the receiver's remote control (since I had set it up on my Universal RC long ago), and couldn't adjust things as I wanted to, but damn, they don't make it easy to fix!
