Ct-Ht790 Sound Bar

[Blairlilymax0723]

I have a  Sony TV and a Ct-Ht790 Soundbar with subwoofer. When I press the Home button on the Soundbar control nothing happens. As a result of this I am unable to connect the subwoofer. 

Can anyone offer any advice?

What do you expect to happen?

And you don’t say how, or even if, the TV and the soundbar are connected.

The preferred way is to have an HDMI cable from the HDMI port labelled ARC on the TV (it must, and can only be, the HDMI port so labelled) to the HDMI In on the soundbar.

At which point, any soundbar worth its salt, turned on from Standby and detecting audio coming down that cable, will switch to it and reproduce it.

if you set things up this way, are they now OK?

If not, where do they fail?
