Connecting a TV that supports Audio Return Channel (ARC)
Connect the TV, which supports Audio Return Channel (ARC), to the unit with an HDMI cable (sold separately).
What is Audio Return Channel (ARC)?
In order for the unit to play audio from a TV, the TV must usually be connected to the unit via an audio cable as well as an HDMI cable. If, however, the TV supports Audio Return Channel (ARC), TV audio signals can be input to the unit via the HDMI cable that outputs video signals from the unit to the TV.
NOTE
- Connect an HDMI cable to the audio return channel supported jack (the jack with “ARC” indicated) on TV.
- Enable the HDMI control function of the unit to activate the Audio Return Channel (ARC). For details, see the following:
- Use a 19-pin HDMI cable with the HDMI logo printed on it.
- Keep the cable as short as possible to prevent any degradation in signal quality.
- Use a premium high-speed HDMI cable for playback of 3D and 4K video content.
- The TV input jack cannot be used when a TV that supports the Audio Return Channel is connected to the unit.
