[Shop-talk] tv - home theater cabling problem

[DAVID MASSEY]

 Can you route your Apple TV and Samsung through the Home Theater box?  Mine has four HDMI inputs and one output so anything routed through that gets audio.
Failing that there is an ACR (Audio Readback Channel) feature built into some equipment.  In theory, the TV will feed the audio information back to the Home Theater Audio device which will play the audio.  I never got mine to work even though all the settings are correct.  I had to resort to the Optical link which works well enough - if you have an optical input.
Good luck
 
Dave

Here is my problem
Tv is 75” led  UN75J6300afxza Using U-verse system
Input  to tv is as follows
 
HDMI1  
hdmi cable from Uverse DVR to LG LHT874 home theatre/DVP player through  HDMI input port
Then from HDMI output to HDMI1 port on back of tv set
 
HDMI2  
hdmi cable from Apple TV box to HDMI2 port on back of set
 
HDMI3
 
Hdmi cable from Samsung DV/CD disc player to HDMI3 port on back of set
 
Tv works fine on hdmi1 setting thru home theatre system with home theatre controlling
Sound.
 
When I switch to HDMI2 and appleTV  the video works fine but I can still hear the audio from
The U-verse on HDMI1  
 
Is there a setting or cable routing that I have wrong or am missing to hear only audio from the HDMI port I select ?? 
 
I am not using any component cabling at all  should I be ??
