I'm still waiting for the TV to be delivered, but am reviewing the instructions for the Switch while waiting. I see how the switch is connected to both the TV and the 975 (specifically the HDMI ARC input). I also see how the 975 needs to be connected to the TV. But which one should be connected to the HDMI ARC Port on the TV, the 975 or the Switch? I'm guessing the Switch, but as clear as the directions are otherwise, I don't see this detail addressed?

How are folks using the Switch? Are you plugging all of your sources into it or just the 4K sources and leaving the others going thru the 975? I'm leaning towards the former b layout.

Happy New Year's folks,

I would connect any of your 4k sources to the switch box, and any non-4k sources to the 975. If the new Vizio is a smart TV with apps, you would want to connect the 975s HDMI-ARC to the TV HDMI-ARC input to take advantage of those apps, while sending audio back to the 975.
