HDMI passthrough

[thomasbomas]

How do I enable HDMI passthrough on my X5 SS to my LG G4 OLED TV? Can't find the settings under CEC or Display &Sound. Have wired connection to 1 GiG speed and a 2.1 HDMI cable to TV.

Thanks for your help.

Not at home right now, but going from memory, I think there is an option for "decode and bitstream" under settings, no ?

Thanks so much for replying, but I can't find that setting.

That's on P6, not SS

Pretty sure its on by default

But its in Display & Sound

Under the Sound Menu
Advanced sound settings

Make sure Automatic is turned on

 

Then HDMI Passthrough for sound works automatically

allaboutbuzz, thanks for that great info!  Is that the same for the picture?  I don't want the X5 SS to upscale the live TV video feed, but pass it on as is to the TV, and let the LG TV do it, as it will do it better.  What is the equivalent video setting to make sure this happens?

Grateful for your help.
