Connecting 2024 trailer Vizio tv to Furion sound system

[Beth H]

We have been trying to connect the tv so that we could hear it through the sound system to no avail.  Checked you tube and owners manual.  Seems simple but we cannot make it work.  Thoughts?

Not sure this should function in the way you desire. If playing a DVD through the Furrion, the HDMI out is connected to the TV for picture and the audio channels of the HDMI are played locally through the Furrion speaker outputs (try this to see if you can make it happen).

When the input/source is via the TV, broadcast TV or streaming, the Furrion is likely not in the loop and audio out is pushed through the TV speakers. If your TV has output selections which include the Furrion system, this would work, but your TV likely thinks of the Furrion as an input source and NOT an audio output.

On a more advanced TV with a HDMI-ARC circuit (certainly NOT this plain OTT OEM system) you could get this working (requires a high-end TV). Instead get a soundbar and connect to the audio out of your TV (connect by audio cables, HDMI, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi).

in our Oliver, Hull 895, we need to select the Optical Input on the Furrion to listen to the TV sound.

I do the same. I just hit the "AUX" button, clicking through the options, until it says "optical".

Thank you and @Cameron too.

Our older hull did not have an Optical audio cable installed, HDMI only. Good to know.

The owner’s manual for my 2023 says to set the AUX to “ARC”. However, I’ve tried that and a number of other things to no avail. I’ll probably have Oliver service take a look next time I’m there.

Usually only one of the HDMI inputs on a TV are labeled "ARC". You might want to check that the HDMI cable coming from your stereo is plugged into it.

High highly recommend you reach out to Oliver and be able to be in the trailer so they can walk you through the steps. You can then share with Oliver exact steps you have been following and see where the disconnect is😊

Thanks, I’ll check that out.

This is how the cables are connected to the Vizio TV in our 2022. TV audio through the Furrion stereo is by selecting the ARC input on the Furrion. We have to turn the Furrion volume up quite a bit to hear the TV audio.
