Home Theater Audio - What is ARC, HDCP, Toslink, SPDIF, Dolby Atmos?

- Опубліковано 20 сер 2017
- This is a general overview of Home Theater Audio including surround formats such as Dolby Atmos and DTS-X as well as audio cable types and surround sound configurations.
With TVs being so thin, they don't usually provide the best sound quality, which has caused most people to purchase a sound bar or home theater system. This video explains the best way to connect these devices for the best possible audio/video quality. HDMI provides the best connection for surround formats but it has caused issues when attempting to play HDCP protected 4K video.

He speaks so well. That was a joke, the truth is, this guy just broke down the audio hookup problems better than anyone I have heard and I've heard a bunch of them on UA-cam and at the stores, no one seems to understand it all the way this dude here does. Thank you very much, please keep making videos for us.
Bill MacKinnon boondocks reference?
@@chrisg8p Boondocks reference, which is likely a Chris Rock standup bit reference...
Damn right!
Hahahah. I was about to be mad
I agree. He makes us ask the question: "How was this so fucking hard for a million other channels on UA-cam to do properly?!"
Dude. I'm well educated in this kind of thing. And I really learned something. And I loved listening to you. No bs here! Excellent video. Thank you!
25 years ago when I bought my first Home theater, there was virtually no info unless you went to a pro stereo shop. Now days there is so much info, it makes it much more fun to buy new equipment for the home. I love it when my Windows vibrate, excellent video keep em coming....
This is how I wish all content creators would make videos. Straight to the point, well positioned data backed and short opinions mixed in, excellent visualization... you are pure gold. You just picked up a new subscriber!
Perhaps one of the best explanations and tutorials on this subject that I've found! Thank YOU!
BEST HOME THEATER CRASH COURSE PERIOD PERIOD PERIOD PERIOD!!! Thank you
twas very comprehensive, nice work!
+techfreshness thanks bro!

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but Im trying to hook up old school Onkyo TX-SV525 receiver to a new Samsung 50" 6900 series which have Hdmi ports and my old school are Rca jacks. I bought 2 adapters (Rca to Hdmi) but Im doing something wrong. Any advice?
Agreed
Chris, I found your channel after searching for educated projector reviews and finding mostly cell-phone produced content that was peppered with "ums" and bad audio and video. Thanks for explaining the tech the way you do. No grandstanding, no diatribe, no 20-minute dissertation about what you're going to say--you are clear and to the point which I appreciate VERY much! You present all of the information concisely, even when you say "this was longer than I intended," but I could easily hear more information from you. I've recommended several of your videos and will continue to seek out your content first when needing a fact-based comparison on products. Thank you for your work!
8 minutes just felt like 8 seconds, thats how clear and precise the info is laid out. You definitely have my attention
By far the best ever home theatre audio tutorial! So much information crammed in and learnt an awful lot so I don’t make mistakes when upgrading. Thank you
Coming in, having an electronics background, this video is the most descriptive and clear to the point ever! You earned a new subscriber! Great job, especially enabling the CC since I am deaf. I use subwoofer next to my chair to be able to feel the theatrical sounds of music/movies, etc. Keep up the good work!
When a video is less than 10 minutes long and you are able to give all that information in that span I give you a two thumbs way up! Good work my friend!
You're like the MKBHD of AV.
The best AV reviewer I know of.
Saving this vid to my favorites right now. That was so informative, I learned more about A/V in that few minutes than I did in years. Thanks
K nnn bc u
Wow. This was literally the most informative video about HT setup I have ever seen. Kudos man, you are a Teacher among students
I don't care how long your videos are they are all worth the time. As long as they don't go over 12 hours I'm good. I'd say I'm pretty on top of new electronic settings etc. The reason I mentioned this is a few months ago I was in a Best Buy store and there was an elderly couple looking for a tv and the more the BB guy talked to them their eyes were as big as a dinner plate. I felt sorry for them so waited till the BB guy left and after, I spoke to them and was able to help them. But, technology is moving so fast that every time a buy something new I'm aware that in a year or two some new tech. will pop up. So thanks for the videos.
Crystal clear information with no babble. For me, you've just solved the many questions surrounding home cinema, cables and their connections. Thank you!
Wow, that was a lot of information for someone who has little knowledge about technology. But, you did an awesome job explaining it. I actually understood. You are definitely walking in your gift. Thank you so much!!
Great video thanks for information. You just gained a new follower 👍🏽
This is laid out nicely. I’m visual, and enjoyed the graphical diagrams that show the cable routing for the different setups with output limitations. Saved me many headaches choking a setup. Thank you, Chris!
This is the very first video I've seen from you. It was outstanding, to say the least. Very informative, at a not too fast, or too slow, pace. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Subscribed.
I feel like so many reviewers glaze over the basics, assuming that everyone already knows. It's so this way when trying to look on audiophile sites to find the best speakers, headphones, or Soundbars. My head just start spinning. Thank you for starting with the basics and keeping it easy to understand. Really interested in Yamaha's MusicCast 400.
Thank you! Worth listening to again. Nice tone and pitch in instructors voice. I usually use pitch and clarity of voice as huge factors. In this case, I actually may have learned some things!

Just bought an LG C9 and you have now become one of my new best friends with this video.
I learned more from this video than all the research I have been doing for weeks. THANK YOU.
Man, I never heard of any of this anywhere. Thanks for the information. I'll save this for when I can grasp all this later.
Me too!
Best video and helpful info. Thanks
Hey Chris, I need to tell you that this video you made is fantastic. I wish you all the best in producing more awesome and needed content like this. Unlike so much other snakeoil that is being published elsewhere. You're awesome.
I really appreciate you breaking this down for all of the novices. Thank you and keep up the great work.
Dope. A simple, yet comprehensive explenation.
I appreciate the examples of the ports, the cables, the setup diagrams, and what logos to look for.
Wow, that covered everything I was confused about and more !
You're a smart dude... Thanks for a great video.
This was the simplest and most succinct explanation of home theater audio connections and common faults. Great primer and useful reminder.
Thanks for sharing
Two years later and this is still very relevant and helpful. Thanks!
the best explanation I found. Now I got it.... Thanks!
I learned more about my sound system in 8 mins than 2 whole days searching on the internet
Agreed.

Facts! Dude is a Legend! This is my 3rd time watching it!
Perfect explanation!!
Quick, informative, and to the point. Couldn't ask for a better tutorial.
I just tuned into your channel for the first time, what a great job you did explaining home theatre audio. I will be back!
Well spoken man! Will definitely need to listen this another couple times. Thanks for the info!
Philo Beddoe what’s with the ‘well spoken’ trash? Just STFU
@@4Humanity2869 easy on him bro, I don’t think he was being Biden on Obama. He meant well taught.
You had me when "survival of the fittest" started playing in the background .... good info 💪🏽💪🏽
I learned so many things in this video that I've been trying to find out by googling for like a week now. This was extremely helpful, thank you!
My receiver is about 15 years old, so your video helped me tremendously. I now know what to look for when buying a new system.
Awesome presentation. Loved the diagrams too. Very tasteful

Damn that was fantastic, thanks a lot for the info...
the only thing i was confused about was arc, so many other videos don't explain it properly, this cleared it up crystal clear.
All the information in this video was extremely helpful. It gave me a quick but clear understanding on how to properly set up my home theater system. OUTSTANDING !!!!!
this guy knows his stuff,well done.it clarifies everything that i wanted to know about HDMI ARC.
Baltimore! Great to see someone from my city doing stuff like this. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
why cant I cant get sound from woffer
I subscribed just off the strength of you having "Survival of the fittest" playing in the background 🤣.
Right? He always has a great classic track playing in the background but wasn't expecting to hear 25 year old Mobb Deep in 2020.
I always give this man a thumbs up even if I don't finish the video.
I thought it was just me
Superb tutorial. Brief enough and concise.
You made a very complex subject seem very straight forward. The graphics were awesome. Thank You
Great video mate! 👌 only drawback is that annoying sound in the background that almost seems as if a phone or a device is constantly vibrating. 😐
Tiago De Azevedo i didnt get any background noise
I didn't get any feedback also .
Mobb deep background music brought a smile to my face.
Rohy 💯 😢👍✊🎶
Love the way you present the information. Very knowledgeable and well spoken. Easy to understand. Thanks I did subscribe...
Answered every question I had about ARC in one short video. Thank you so much for the video.
Hope someone can help with the following:
I have a LG B7 Oled and considering buying the SJ9 soundbar (don't hate!).
As I see both support HDCP 2.2. The TV decodes DTS-HD and Atmos (and they are backwards compatible I guess). The soundbar supports all the common formats.
I want to know which problems with sound input/output I might have with the following setup:
PS4 (which will connect to soundbar HDMI in)
Set top box (connect to TV HDMI)
Soundbar HDMI Arc out to TV HDMI Arc
HDD via USB 3.0 to the TV
Now, most movies I have on the HDD (but also can be played physically on PS4) and it is primarily from there that I watch - so my question is whether or not I have the optimal setup in this situation? Will DTS-HD be output through the soundbar if it encoded on the HDD in one of the supported formats? Or will I have to use physical copies of the movies?
Great video thanks for the info. Background music had me distracted though! MOBB
Great video bro. Nice balance of info content, while not "talking down" or "dumbing down". Kudos
Well Done! Clear voice and absolutely accurate info. Agree completely with the 1 year older comment below!!! If only everyone creating videos was this good.
I can’t believe the people who disliked this very informative video .... they have PHD
I just said the same thing ! Exactly...
I cant believe you took your time to check who disliked
Arun Kumar lol 😂
We all need a players holiday.
@@Danimal.69 or realised why their own youtube channel has no subscribers.
@6:00
So by connecting an optical cable directly from the TV to a home theater setup, I can still receive multichannel(aka 5.1) sound?
Did you get an answer? What's the way to do it ?
Who would thumbs down this video!? It’s incredibly informative!!
Awesome information. I'm a cable installer and run into audio issues all the time. Customers often think that it is a cable issue, but is in fact their home audio system. Your video help me to better assist my customers in trouble shooting their audio systems, which in the past, I had to explain that the issue was due to their own personal equipment and leave it at that. As much as I wanted to help, I just didn't the knowledge base.
My neighbors call the police last night b coz of you! Great job man! Greetings from Brazil!
Hahah nuty girl
Hahaha
Marry me, I will bring you to America
Lol 😅👍🏼
🤣🤣😂😂 Damn.
Wow amazing voice, awesome accent & very clear... thanks a ton buddy very helpful
You should run for Congress! You have taken one of the most complex subjects and made it easy to understand! Very succinct!
Clear,concise and easy to understand. To be able to have me grasp this information you gotta be good.Normally I’m in over my head right away.Thanks much for your message
Sir ,
I have sony dav tz 215 home theatre system.
Can i attach it's speakers with any projector to get good audio quality.?
Unfortunately you cannot because your system has a HDMI out and no inputs that would support inputting any audio from any projector whatsoever. HDMI output for DVD upgrades
600 watts power output
BRAVIA Sync
Digital amplifier
S-Master
I copied and pasted this information from Sony's website.
You actually don't get the audio from a projector unless the projector has its own built-in TV over the air TV tuner or Android TV app.
Could you do buying guide videos with specific models included? Is it worth it to get something like an Onkyo HT-S9800THX? I like the 1k price point but I would like to hear about if its worth it to just downgrade the budget. I also loved your old projector videos and would love to see which models you recommend in different price tiers similar to projectorreviews site. Thanks for the valauble info!
+Michael Hudgins thanks. Good idea. I'll consider that
Michael Hudgins bh
be the is a they
Great video. Not lengthy, and no wasted time or oxygen. Keep up the great work!
Glad I checked this video. This man explains it in terms that I can understand. Glad all my home theater system supports everything required for excellent video and audio. Learned a lot watching this video.
Yo what's good bro. Have a question great video by the way if I got the 2017 Sony Bravia Oled A1E Tv and just bought The Sony Dolby Atmos 4K sound bar HT-ST5000 connected with the Sony 4K hdr Blu-ray player UBP-X800 should that connect without that issue you were talking about towards the end
HDCP 2.2 should they are support with ☝🏻☝🏻those 3 devices I have?
Kurspro yes, each link in the device chain from the 4K Blu-ray player to your TV should support HDCP 2.2(not backwards compatible) or else you risk downgrading the resolution to 1080p.
Once I realized Mobb Deep was playing the background. I no longer cared about HDMI anything.
Ain't no such things as halfway crooks!
RIP Prodigy
Awesome. Crisp and to the point information. Subscribed. No one until now cud have actually explained this in detail. Thnk u so much ...
You sir just saved my day. I was pulling my hair out last night trying to figure out how to send a split hdmi tv signal to a two zone audio setup with my blu ray player. Your diagrams helped me figure it out. Thank you!
Great info, only one thing, there is something wrong with your background music. It is as if some phone is stuck ringing, (you might want to check that)
Nice video bro very good information, you just updated my Brian... Thanks I gave you a Subs
Awesome video. Thank-you. Sticking with Toslink for audio on my 5.1 Yamaha and HDMI 2.0 for video. Great detail, great pace to the vid and very professional.
Dude!! Thank you so much for this extremely informative video! I honestly need to re-watch it probably a couple more times , because there is so much info in it. Honestly , I think I need to take notes? But the info you gave was exactly what I was looking for , and it helped a bunch. So thanks man!
Do TVs send dtsx and atmos through arc now?
I know Atmos can be sent over ARC.
The “Shook ones” Mob Deep... nice
Very well presented and narrated. The break down is well displayed with both explanation and graphics.
You are the best! I love the clear manner in which you explain everything.
This reminds me of a macro economics course back in college where I literally spent 4 hours to try and understand 3 pages in my book. This is impossible. I feel like the old people who say "just give me a tv that turn on when I need it". Between cable compatibility and 4k and full array and oled and qled and edge lit and back lit and banding and flashlighting and dead pixels and day time calibration ...its all become overwhelming. The quest for the perfect picture is impossible.
I feel you! Trying to understand all of this is like waking up in a jungle where all kinds of animals are going everwhere and you have no idea what you should do, so this video has been really helpful! =)
I totally feel the same. I found myself rewinding, pausing, and replaying several parts of this.
I was going to say something similar but more focused on HDCP and audio. That stuff is garbage that mainly serves to break stuff. Seems hardly worth it to buy all this fancy gear when it comes crippled with HDCP. Maybe just connect a full PC to a nice big display and then play whatever you want with no issues?
I knew you was from Baltimore lol. 👌🏾🤘🏾
Watching on 11/12/21
or 12/11/21 for the other people
This is by far the most informative video that the search results can throw for you, I've tried but every other reviewer doesn't even gloss over past 15 minutes.
I recently got a budget soundbar of the brand Salora & wasn't able to get sound out of it. Now i know the issue at hand & don't have to rely on what customer service or sales people tell me. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
Mobb deep!
I swear I heard (shook ones) instrumental in the background.
congratulations this is the first youtube video i have to slow down to catch everything most of them need to be sped up !!!
My man here just cleared most of the doubts I had. Thank you.
Can’t believe these companies didn’t just use the optical audio cable to handle “ARC” especially with controlling the volume of a soundbar
MO-BB D-E-E-P 👌🏽
Santo Valentino good catch, damn
"MOBB SLEEP" !!!!!!!!!!!!!. ………. . >tupac voice
From now on I'll be coming to your channel. You know your stuff. Informed and well presented. Thanks
You somehow made all that information easily accessible and understandable. Thank you.
There will be 7.1.2.2 surround sound speakers for home In the future.
How much will they cost do u know
Let me explain 7.1.2.2 surround sound speakers: 7.1 speakers you know, .2 is two speakers over head, and the last *.2* is the two speakers (very thin) lying flat on the floor for sounds from below such as earthquake, water fish, land animals, so on. Sounds come from the front and back, right and left, above and *below* you. It will be the complete 3D surround sound.
I don't make the price. You will wait for speaker companies to announce the products with prices.
@@honey4xi thats called 3d aura , i have that on my SC95 but unless your movie gives out that signal you wont get it
@@lexhtfdct7230 | Probably Samsung will come up 7.1.2.2 surround sound player & speakers for 8K TVs. 2 speakers on the ceiling and 2 speakers on the middle of floor are wireless & rechargeable batteries. Now I still have Samsung 1080p 3DLED TV (I bought it in 2010) & 7.1 surround sound blu-ray player & speakers which its 2 rear speakers are wireless.
And if you have a receiver that came out before the hdmi even existed, it's really time to upgrade 🤣
It got me through college in the 80s, I'm not giving up on it. Those were good times!! There are $20 fibre optic to RCA converters, just need left and right :-)
@@artsmith103 hahahaha I know what u mean
I only use Multi Channel input, I use to love DTS but in my older age I appreciate MC so much more especially when running threw a good pre Amp and Amp
Brother you get a thumbs. I knew the majority of everything you spoke about. But I did learn two things from you. Thanks. Most draw out explainations of thing s a five year old would already know. Your video was spot on clear and concise
Dude... I have to tell you that is one of the most efficient explanations of home theater audio. (if I explain/say anymore, I'd be doing your phenomenally planned video an injustice). On that note, thank you. ✌🏽
What us the name of intro song

for gods sake THIS IS A NIGHTMER
Terrific explanations. Lucid and highly informative.
Dude. This is what I was looking for. People on the internet and in stores cannot understand this or don't have a solution. You're Awesome. I was looking for a device that could do this for some time now. I will look for the one shown now and hopefully it wont cost as much as a new receiver. Thank You.
