Best connection for Sony UBP-X800M2

[rudiedj23]

Hey everyone, just purchased the Sony UBP-X800M2 4K blu-ray player and wondering what the best way to hook it up would be?  I have a Sony X91J display hooked up to my RMC-1L currently via HDMI 2/ARC output, would I be better served hooking up to another HDMI input on the processor or the TV?  Also the player has a two HDMI outputs (HDMI 1 for video/audio, HDMI 2 for audio only) not sure if I should utilize both as I know the player can play SACD's as well.

Thanks!

You can leave the connection to the TV as is and just plug the Blu Ray (Video/Audio) player into an unused HDMI input on the RMC. There are other ways to achieve it but this is the simplest. Video will be passed to the TV and Audio will be processed in the RMC.

Thanks, ended up connecting to the processor and so far so good.
