HDMI ARC is commonly heard and seen throughout home electronics. HDMI ARC stands for HDMI Audio Return Channel.
Essentially, it returns an audio signal to a soundbar or receiver (typically in the opposite direction that video and audio would travel through an HDMI cable).

What most people aren't telling you is that HDMI severely compresses a high-quality surround sound audio signal. So if you are using anything above a 5.1 surround sound setup, then you should avoid using HDMI ARC with your major streaming devices.
Make sure you connect all of your devices to the soundbar or receiver and utilize HDMI ARC only when necessary.

Hey guys! Some of the info in this video isn't entirely correct!
I made a new video that corrects my errors and goes in-depth on HDMI eARC as well!
ua-cam.com/video/ar2ombRN1UY/v-deo.html
Your other video is really good, so I suggest you take this one down, as it is really confusing unless one sees your comment (which i didn't).
Does this affect my console?
Hey Jonah! Thank you so much for the video I do have a question. I connected my TV to my Nakamichi 7.2.4 sound bar through the Arc but no audio from TV or sound bar all settings are in place. Do you know why that is? Please help. Thanks!
Then you should delete this video and not confuse people...... every body make mistakes. I deleted videos from my channel too
Thanks
"What no one is telling you" is that ARC is just the protocol of the HDMI cable, the purpose of it is actually HDCP, which is copy protection which ultimately does nothing for the end-user.
Jonah! As a fellow home theater nerd AND project 24 member, I just wanted to say thank you! Wow! That’s the best description of ARC I’ve honestly ever come across. And your video organically showed up on my UA-cam feed. Great video, super helpful. Keep it up!
Just purchased a new LG 65" and the first time being able to use HDMI ARC. Love it
Finally found someone who clearly explains how a soundbar/TV connection works.
I like that you addressed the 7.1 / atmos / dtsx limitation of ARC definitively. This is the only vid that does that.
Except that per his newer video, he got that WRONG.
Edit: It the only video that does that because all the other videos are correct.
@@bsperoz lol
This isn't entirely accurate. TV's manufactured within the last 3 years or so with regular ARC are capable of transmitting Dolby Digital Plus (DDP) signals easily. DDP consists of 7 discrete audio channels and one low frequency channel ( the x.1 in 7.1, which is used for the subwoofer). This essentially means that ARC can indeed send your receiver/soundbar 7.1 surround sound, contrary to what this video states. DDP, and below, are lossy compressed audio files, so ARC can easily handle them. Heck, even the newer model TV's, that still only support regular ARC, can transmit Dolby Atmos sound. This is because Dolby Atmos isn't a signal, it's basically just an extra set of special instructions attached to a DDP or Dolby TrueHD signal that tells your Dolby Atmos capable receiver/soundbar how to output sound in each speaker. If you own one of these ARC TV's that are Dolby Atmos capable, then you're rocking Dolby Atmos with a Dolby Digital Plus signal. Not bad, but there's for sure room for improvement...
Now if you're looking for lossless uncompressed audio, such as Dolby TrueHD signal, to be transmitted from your TV to your receiver/soundbar, then regular ARC for sure won't cut it. You'll need to upgrade to eARC (enhanced audio return channel) technology on BOTH your TV and your receiver/soundbar to be able to achieve this. If you own an eARC TV that means you're rocking Dolby Atmos with a Dolby TrueHD signal. This is definitely the way to do it since the audio is uncompressed and in it's original state from when the sound engineer mixed it in the studio.
WHAT IS THE USE OF HDMI IN PORT IN SOUNDBAR ?
Steve is correct. I run atmos back from my Lg c8 over arc all the time. It's the lossy dd+ version, but since Netflix only streams dd+ anyway, it doesn't matter.
You're the hero we need
Thanks Steve for this post.
Dude, I have been like WTF about only getting DD+ and not Atmos via my ARC only tv to my new jbl 9.1 sound bar. 48 hours of chasing my tail. Your comment is the best explanation of my, this, issue and I wish I found it 2 days ago.👍 My search is now over, and your comment is much appreciated.
This 4min Video solve my 2 year problems... THANK YOUUUU
I'd been struggling with ARC for broadcast TV audio. Your hint about HDMI-CEC solved it. Thanks!
While explained in practice, would aid viewer’s understanding if explained that ARC stands for Audio Return Channel. Sometimes knowing what the jargon means helps.
"End of story. There's just no way around that right now."
eARC: "Da fuh!?"
My Yamaha receiver doesn’t even officially support earc and atmos over arc still works.
@@32mlucas maybe it updated without you knowing
Its a CX-A5100, Yamaha released a firmware update to support earc on a number of models but the cx-a5100 wasn’t included.
@@32mlucas atmos can be passed over ARC, however, due to bandwidth limitations, it is in a Dolby Digital + codec. It is compressed, not lossless. Lossless would be atmos folded into a Dolby True HD codec. Look on your receiver and see what it’s decoding.
@@freddiemurry It says Atmos on the receiver (or processor since it doesn’t have any amp.)
So glad you explained the cons with using ARC when using the TV apps. A firestick connection to a receiver and then going out to the TV will provide high fidelity audio. Thanks for the vital info.
Thanks for teaching people this ! I went weeks some time ago reconfiguring my sound and picture quality utilizing arc to achieve it all. Tons of research got me to that sweet spot of not losing 4k or sound. I was more concerned with my picture over my sound so 5.1 is ok with me for now.
I'm so glad eArc is the thing of the future
What does eArc do? Will that solve the compression issue?
Crystal Keyframes more bandwidth on hdmi 2.1 so you get uncompressed audio
Exactly. Current high end TV's have eArc and that should have been mentioned here. Also, some TV sets pass Atmos through Arc using DD+ and some don't. Another fact worth mentioning is some TV's don't have the capability to bypass HDMI audio input. So you need to wait for the TV's processor's Dolby audio decoding and if it's slow you can get unfixable lip sync problems. Or the TV may not pass Dolby at all.
@@Brklynsbaby I've yet to see over the air channels or Netflix broadcast anything over 5.1 Dolby Digital.
Jose Garcia you have to purchase the premium Netflix subscription
Connecting your devices to your receiver always made the most sense to me. It is after all the centerpiece of your hifi setup.
However , eArc WIIL move dolby and all higher formats to receiver . (e nhanced arc)
Simply use other hdmi ports on you're reciever?
Hey Jonah, thank for posting this quick, to the point, video. It really helped me.
For most users it won’t matter because their main sources come from streaming like Netflix. They all use the compressed DolbyDigitalPlus anyway. So even you connect your Apple TV directly to your soundbar, it wouldn’t make any difference at all. Not many people use BluRays these days.
One cam Ginger hair, second cam Black hair lol thanks for the info, very interesting and thanks so much this info ,... appreciate it
I have the new Sonos Arc connected to my LG OLED C7 via HDMI ARC-CEC, and I’m getting Dolby Atmos in Dolby Digital Plus. Sounds great!
My xiaomi hdmi arc and denon don’t work properly with ddp and dtshd
Are you sure? And it’s definitely connected straight to the Tv? you just enabled CEC like in the video and it worked? I have a Sony soundbar and I don’t get Dolby atmos for not having E-arc ( my tv only has ARC) abs it’s a 2020 4k tv model. I don’t know how to fix this
Atmos and 7.1 from Netflix works ok via usual old ARC. Of course, it is compressed, but it is already compressed by Netflix.
eARC is available with DTS:X and Dolby Atmos
@Truman Miller it is everywhere now 😅
Not every TV pass through. At least LG 2020 have dropped the support of DTS X codec passthrough via eArc. It passes through Dolby Atmos though.
In short eArc is not the complete solution.
Didn't know ARC was limited? Fortunately everything is hooked up to the receiver anyways! Thanks!
Good video! What I have noticed is there are discrepancies in HDMI 2.0 vs HDMI 2.1 (not in your video just in general) . Some televisions offer 2.1 but don't offer 4K@120 or even VRR (Variable Refresh Rate). Although the box may say something about it, make sure the TV manufacture actually supports what the end user needs. :) Hope this info helps.
I didn't know to setup my TV to CEC. Helped a lot thanks.
Small note of correction... you might want to highlight that many TVs have an ARC only setting. This should typically be used with any newer Receivers as CEC mode will create control conflicts with devices interrupt the seamless operation....
Jonah Matthes tqsm for this info.. I'm working with Bose Malaysia nd really needed this kind of info to increase my knowledge nd in the same time sharing good info with my customer.. ☺️
Great video… and this is why, (If you are using a sound bar, instead of a receiver with traditional speakers), if your TV has an ARC rather than an EARC, Sonos is a No-Go… Also, Sonos only has one HDMI connection, so everything has to go to the TV…. And since the TV with only an ARC, doesn’t support all of those fancy DD signals, your whole system is FUBARd!
This is the exact video i was looking for.....Thanks for clearing it up...helped a lot!
he's off about some pretty critical stuff though, mainly eARC solves any of these issues, but is only really available on the newer model tv's and receivers.
I recently purchased the Yamaha RX-A2A AV Receiver and I had to turn off the EARC setting on my Samsung TV in order to get the audio sound to work. At first my sound was delayed and I would get this cracking sound from my speakers, but my sound now sounds great 👍 .
I love my lg soundbar,but everytime it hears me say something that sounds like hey google,it reminds me that I don't have wifi...it was funny in the beginning,but now I wonder what all it hears and understands..i had Wi-Fi when I set it up,but haven't had internet in a couple months,so I've tried to figure out if there's a way to shut that off temporarily,but gave up...it seems like EVERYTHING nowadays has to be hooked up to the net..i love tech,but kinda miss the old days.😯
Possibly you could address the audio dropouts when using sound bars. Even with both tv and sound bar the same recently purchased brand name equipment, dropouts are common using ARC or Fiber optic connection. Vizio tech assist was no help after trying all the suggested fixes. Mostly happens with streaming but also OTA signal sometimes. Finally just stuck with RCA jacks. I believe it has to with the chip set that ALL the manufacturers use regardless of brand name.
Video was very helpful, thanks. Netflix (built in app)on 2017 QLED does not support Atmos. I purchased new cube fire tv (2nd gen) and use netflix in the cube and plug directly into sound bar (Samsung q90r). Works perfect, thank for help.
Thanks for the detail! After a few videos, found my direct direction in this one. Thank you!!! 😊
Great video, but how do I directly connect my Amazon Firestick to the soundbar? You stated that you have or should directly hook up your devices that way.
Thank you! You are blowing my mind here! I have I have a Sony 4k UHD player and a Vizio M-656-G0 65”, and. Pioneer (VSX-521-K, ARC-friendly-) receiver with 4 HDMI IN, 1 out. The Sony UPB-X700 player and TV are labeled “ARC”.
My goal is listening to my Blue ray player in surround sound supplied by the Pioneer receiver.
I’m sorry, I think I’ve made a confusing jumble out of my issue...!
I have been using the Sony 4K UHD disc-drive connected directly via HDMI to my Vizio’s HDMI 2 Non-ARC (of 4) inputs, skipping the receiver entirely.
Other devices (x360, ROKU, Dreamcast, Saturn) all enter a “5-in, 1 out” 4k UHD switcher.
That switcher’s output is first fed through an MClassic dongle, and the Mclassic’s single HDMI output is plugged into “video” on my Pioneer AV.
The Pioneer A/V receiver outputs via HDM1 Video (the whole switcher box) to HDMI 1-In on the TV). It works! And makes use of my 5.1 setup.
It does not work if I try to plug the Sony disc player into the 4k UHD switcher (all other machines using the switcher work beautifully). But I can only get sound
Hi Jonah, love your channel bud. Had a question: I just bought my first smart TV after my old plasma finally gave out. The TV has an eARC port while the soundbar only has normal ARC port. Will this still work?
Following. My tv has eARC as well and I'm looking to upgrade to an atmos soundbar or AVR and would like to know.
Integrated receivers (such as Blu-ray/DVD players with 5.1 speakers) usually limit the ARC input to 2 channels only. Yeah this is to force consumers to spend more on dedicated receivers.
Sweet Jeebus - that IS a deal-breaker for me. Thanks for the vid.
He's wrong. You can get Atmos through Arc
@@johnblaze8774 if it's E-ARC enabled and all devices and cables are compatible, then yes.
@@Siltarie I have a LG TV with HDMI ARC. If I plug a Dolby Atmos soundbar in it, I will get Dolby Atmos. Might be slightly compressed but it's Dolby Atmos none the less.
@@Siltarie My TV has eARC and my Home Theater Receiver has ARC... ...WHY DOES MY RECEIVER HAVE TO BE eARC as well? If a Dolby TrueHD Atmos singal comes OUT of my TV and INTO my Receiver than how is that different from a Dolby TrueHD Atmos singal coming OUT of my 4K Ultra Blu Ray player and INTO my Receiver???
@@TheSeabeeMan Pin 14 was reserved on HDMI version 1.0 through to 1.3c. At version 1.4, ARC (Audio Return Channel) was bought into it. Audio was always carried through the HDMI cable as a one way signal as it is part of the scope when designing it, which was to make a universal, all in one cable (High Definition Multi-Media Interface (HDMI). Originally you might plug a HDMI cable straight from a DVD or Bluray player into a TV, then use a TOSLINK (Fibre Optical) cable to relay sound back to a receiver or, plug 1 HDMI from the DVD/Bluray player to the receiver and another HDMI cable from receiver to the TV (video pass through).
There are and always were multiple pins for information to send signal upstream, the thing I think has you confused is the eARC & ARC which is a channel designed to bring information back to the sender.
Perfect your explanation 👍👍👍👍
Man. This CEC trick save my day! After hours to try to make my home theatre work, turn that setting on my tv, ans now everything work!
This comment is SUSPECT🤣
very informative video and thanks for making this video. I have tv with Only HDMi IN. I want to use it for my soundbar but in soundbar is HDMI ARC. so my question is can I connect my tv with sound bar or I will have to buy new tv with hdmi arc or any another solution. thanks I will wait for your reply.
I have an old plasma TV (no ARC) connected to my SONY 1040 AVR output via HDMI. My PC is connected to the AVR HDMI input to. Audio is being reproduced by the receiver (and speakers) but the problem is it's only stereo. Whatever I do I can't get it to output 5.1 surround sound (even if Windows10 says that the output is configured for 5.1 speaker setup). Any ideas welcome! Thanks!
Hey Jonathan thanks for the video but pls the hdm1 from the cable must connect to the tv or soundboard?
Love it! The end of story part saved me a lot of time. I'll just leave evrything plugged to my receveir:..... end of story
7.1 or nothing txs
This only makes sense when your sound-bar has HDMI-in ports, which most don’t have. For receivers it really doesn’t make sense, because the main job of a receiver is to split video and audio signals to tv and sound boxes without latency.
About 99% of us are never going to use high end speaker systems and a sound bar is about the highest level of quality we'll see.
So a 5.1 surround sound using arc will still be 5.1 ?
One of the main reasons I use the Audio Return Channel is so the picture and sound are synchronised.
HDCP 2.3 should be a feature talked about as it lets 4K signal pass-through however it does disable some of the nicer things such as Atmos/Digital Plus etc.
For example I have a Sony 950G with eArc enabled. My soundbar is a LG SL8y Meridian 3.1.2 that is ran via HDMI. My Xbox is ran through the extra HDMI (2.3) however other advanced features are shut off while I am using the XBOX One.
It's because maybe you're using the wrong Xbox console if you don't have either the S model or X model you won't get those extra features.
Thank you, this was simple straightforward. 100% really appreciate this. Thank you
Thank you, now I know to buy a 5.1 Surround Sound to match my TV and not waste the extra money.
You need hdmi 2.1 which supports eARC (among other benefits). Anything prior will downgrade the signal due to bandwidth available. Some sets from 2018 have hdmi 2.1.
Both my TV and receiver are HDMI 2.0a and they both support earc. No downgraded signal.
Another con is no on screen display of audio level from receiver when using arc.
I have a Samsung tu8000 50 inch and a Sony 7.1 receiver str dn1040 and with mine, I use the TV remote for volume and it just displays on my tv "(receiver hdmi) with plus and minus signs when I hit up or down on the volume but my receiver moves up or down with each press. Im guessing its a simplified concept because the TV would somehow have to communicate with the receiver to figure out its actual volume number (0-78) on my receiver. Some receivers have dB levels (-120 to +12) or something like that. The tv would never figure it out. Lol. But yes it would be nice to see a volume level on screen. I agree lol
Thank you for the explanation. Much better to watch a (UA-cam) video than scroll through a PDF or other online method. 👍
Love you and your channel just won’t quit
I have a older theater projector is there a way to have a arc receiver using a converter to hdmi send video to the projector
Great info! Some I already knew some I didn't, I had to subscribe. Thanks so much!
So...does that work when you turn on your TV and it automatically turns on your sound bar and turns off when you turn the tv off?
Plug the ARC HDMI from your receiver to your TV ARC port. Plug in whatever devices you use to your receiver. I.E. I use a Firestick for all my streaming stuff including my EMBY Home server. I plug the TV ARC into the receiver ARC and the Firestick into an input HDMI on the receiver. Full audio then goes from device to receiver input to speakers with video split off to the TV. No audio problems at all. Full 5.1.2, DTS:X and ATMOS to the speakers.
Problem solved ... If you're using a receiver. If you're using a sound bar, then you still have this issue.
Yeah I'm using arc as I only have a 5.1 receiver..so if I upgraded to an Atmos receiver how do you connect an Amazon firestick direct to the receiver ( or do I run another cable from the TV..optical? Although optical cannot carry Atmos yeah?)
Thanks for this. Help me out a lot.
Thank you so much for this advice,
Question: if you hook everything into the reciever wont you lose 4k video? I notice i do and end up with lag . I play lots of video games
Not unless you’re Receiver has 4K Passthrough
I have the ononkyo TX-NR676 it’s has 4K passthrough. I also noticed some lag in the audio but that’s adjustable but I also noticed a slight lag to the image my television is a sausage 65in 7 series
miguel mendoza I decided to make the tv( lg 7300) the brain and run my xbox into the arc 1 and my reciever( sony str hd770) on arc 2... I still get my game mode for video and dts for sound. Using the reciever for sound , I found out that there is that lag you were speaking of but also for it I lose game mode. Thanks for answering my question. I am just starting out with all this and I want to learn more to improve my setup.
HDMI eARC remedies this due to the much higher bandwidth support....with full Dolby True HD support...
Important! You’ll have to have a HDMI eARC enabled receiver or soundbar (in) from your eARC HDMI port on your tv (out), or eARC signal won’t pass through as enhanced.
I have an LG B7 Oled connected to a Denon 2400h av receiver and it is connected via arc and is pre hdmi 2.1 and eArc but my receiver plays the Dolby Atmos streams from Netflix, Disney+ and the Dolby vision test app, can't verify if it plays 7.1 trueHD from the tv to amp but it definitely plays dts streams too from the built in dlna media player to the av receiver. I researched this fact before purchasing in 2018.
That’s right! LG and some other TV brands can play Dolby Atmos via standard ARC. They use Dolby Digital + compression method to provides all audio channels to the amplifier/soundbar. What you don’t get via standard ARC is uncompressed audio (Dolby TrueHD) where you need eARC for that.
I'm sure others have found this solution as well. If you have a recent 4k tv and don't have eARC, You can buy a 4k blu-ray player which in most cases has on-board streaming with separate hdmi outputs for audio and video including eARC. I hope this helps out many who may be scratching their heads. Anyone wanting any of the new surround formats, don't believe the companies claimings if they don't have eARC, it's a hardware problem and they don't want to be doing recalls. Good luck everyone.
So I have a Samsung Soundbar and my TV is hooked up to the soundbar via digital optical cable.
My TV only has 3 HDMI inputs and one of them specifies ARC on it. If I were to switch my soundbar to the HDMI input from the TV out...essentially I would lose an HDMI input? Using that input as audio out to the soundbar and then only have two available inputs?
Not that this matters because it's just a soundbar so I wouldn't need to switch to ARC for this application as I don't see a benefit. But I just want to wrap my head around the concept. I've never used ARC before and I see it on the TV and the soundbar and have always been curious as to why it even exists.
I was told by Sonos support that you DO get Dolby Atmos from the smart TV apps through the ARC Hdmi.
And when using the Sonos App, I can see it is reading it as Dolby Atmos.
Why are you saying it doesn’t come through HDMI from tv?
I miss my 1980 marantz and bose 901's... I just ordered a new Samsung 7.1 Soundbar and can only hope it alll goes well
Just prep for a disappointing sound comparison as the bars are literally the lowest bar of audio.
Hi Jonah, I have my JBL Soundbar 9.1 and 4k Xiaomi Ultra Short Throw projector. There are 2xHDMI inputs (1x ARC) on the JBL and 3xHMDI (1 ARC) for the UST is label ARC. If I want to plug in my Chromecast with Google TV device, do I plug it into my JBL or UST Projector.?
My TV has eARC and my Yamaha SR-B20A has ARC, my current cheap HDMI cable works in controlling volume and turning on and off using the TV remote. Is it worth buying a high speed HDMI cable for better sound quality and able to use the Dolby features of the soundbar? Many thanks in advance for your reply.
So if I connect my arc to AVR from smart tv then I won't get the proper Dolby Atmos.
If I connect firestick to AVR will it work without losing the Dolby Atmos quality.
Question: I just received a Yamaha soundbar and a SHU sub... I tried hooking it up to my bedroom TV (Sony A9S Oled 48"), The light's are on on the Sub, I have the sub connected to the Soundbar but there's no sound from the sub. The soundbar plays but not the sub.
Suggestions?
Thank you
Joe
Very informative video. Was wondering if you have any ideas on how to resolve lag when using a soundbar? I just got a Sony HT-Z9F hooked up to the Sony A80J and when watching cable TV, there is a noticeable lag. Thoughts?
Is there a way to split the arc coming out of the soundbar between a tv and projector? That way if either of them turns on, the sound bar automatically turns on and is controlled by either TV or Projector remote?
Great video!! Let's say if I have a Hdmi splitter that supports Arc. How do I connect those cables to make it work? Arc cable to tv and then to the splitter or what?
Can any new hdmi cable run 4K 4:4:4 @60hz at 10m?
I just got a new tv. As a gamer, I previously has inputs going into my receiver then a single HDMI out to TV. It worked well. My new tv handles gaming at 4k 120 hz refresh rate, so I am direct into the tv now with an optical out to my receiver. I cannot get 5.1 audio thru my system. my PC, which is a device, only offers stereo despite me trying new drivers. After some google searches, I find this isn't too uncommon. Do you have any insight to help workaround this nightmare? Otherwise, I'm relegated to wait for a receiver with 4 HDMI 2.1 inputs for a similar setup to my previous arrangement.
I have an older onkyo without ATMOS, and those ports only pass 60hz refresh rates. So I suppose I forego 5.1 for 4k or visa versa for now. Is that right?
I have an old Marantz receiver that can only do 1080P. I have a PS4 Pro that can do "4K" (checkerboard rendering anyway). To get the most out of the PS4 so it's not limited to 1080P, I just use the HDMI inputs on the TV for video and an optical out of the PS4 for audio. It's more compressed than HDMI ARC out of the TV into the receiver, but it will get the job done. Watch out for control issues though. One device turning on may sometimes trigger other devices to do the same.
Good video and great explanation. Keep up the great content. I just got the Sonos Arc and learned the hard way that ARC can’t carry Atmos. Still a great soundbar, but I’ll only be able to get Dolby Digital Plus at best in my set up - until I get a tv that had eARC.
Sony soundbar HT z9f and HT st5000 have been doing Atmos for over 3yrs. I would think about that sonotbar. Not to mention all the Sony bar come with separate sub and better sound than the Sonos. Look into it.
trade in the sonos for the samsung q950t or the 950a. realy awesome soundbars, better then sonos
Does soundbar effects internet work? After Soundbar connected wifi is so weak signal
Thanks for putting this up.
How do I connect an old pioneer receiver, that just has analog cables (red/white) to my new Smart TV , Samsung? I would like sound from the TV back into the 5.1 surround sound again.
If I connect an active subwoofer to the HDMI arc output, can I also hear the sound of the TV?
Thanks a lot man for the help and information 👍
The speakers I have are RCA and does not have anything to connect. Is it possible to use an HDMI Arc converter? What would you recommend?
I have an LG C8 and a Marantz 1509 but... I think that through ARC my TV emits 2.0 signals and not 5.1, because when I use Amazon Prime Video app on TV to see 5.1 movies, on Marantz display appear "Dolby Pro Logic II" indication, that should be a trasformation of 2.0 signal to 5.1 by algorithms, while when playing from Blu-ray appear DTS or "Dolby Digital 5.1".
Any ideas about this thing?
I didn’t know this!!! I assumed connecting through an hdmi cable would make the sound better!
So if I connect my sound bar through Bluetooth instead will I have the 7.1 atmos???
I have a Samsung Q70T. And a PlayStation 4 Pro. There is a specific gaming HDMI port on the back of the TV. Would you advise I plug the PS Pro into the port on the Q70T, or followed the video and plug everything into the Samsung T650 soundbar??
Hello, Nice video ! But there’s some misunderstanding about Atmos. Atmos is available with ARC but in Dolby Digital Plus. And You didn’t talk about E-ARC which is able to send the sound uncompressed like Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master.
From everything that I have read, both Dolby Digital Plus and Atmos are not available through ARC. ARC only supports a compressed 5.1 channel setup. This is a difficult topic because even HDMI.org doesn't specify this too well. I plan on talking about eARC in an upcoming video!
The Home Theater DIY I can say to you, It’s working with ARC! I used it a lot! Maybe your article is old but if you google it You’ll find a lot of article about Dolby Atmos through ARC using Dolby Digital Plus! Netflix is using it, they don’t stream Dolby Atmos in Dolby TrueHD. Even in UA-cam you can find a lot of video about that!
@@lassdo77 You are getting the lossy version of Atmos (compressed). Definite upgrade over DD 5.1....but with eARC it's uncompressed and will sound better.
@@JonahMatthes Everything I've read (except for here) is that DD+ does give you Atmos.
Can arc work with optical sound
03:09 it says Dolby Atmos on the soundbar but you said HDMI ARC doesn't support it...?
that'd be if the audio is going directly into the sound bar and not through arc I imagine
My arc stopped working somewhere. Changed the HDMI cable, too. Had to put in fiber optic line on it to work again.
should you connect ethernet cable to tv or av receiver?
Neither the TV nor the Sound-bar manual mentions anything about turning CEC ON. How stupid is that!!! I was using using Optical Audio option on my new sound-bar and I was not happy. Was planning to return it. Now that CEC is enabled the sound was routed it was supposed to using HDMI-ARC. Thanks a lot for your video!!!
Can you do firmware upgrade from arc to eARC on Denon x4500x?
My tv doesnt have hdmi arc, only hdmi 1 and 2. Is it too old for that soundbar equipment?
I just bought a Samsung HW-A550 and I’ve been watching some of your videos discussing ARC/Optical, my question is what should I use for my shitty cheap soundbar? It has ARC/Optical/Bluetooth, I actually think my TV has eARC but I’m sure that doesn’t really matter because my soundbar isn’t any good. Thanks for your help!
Hey John, I seek advice. I have the Bose tv sound bar. It has an output the takes an AUX cable, now if a subwoofer (Yamaha or Non Bose) only has the standard white and red RCA inputs, is there an adapter you can get that would go into an aux to make it work? The subwoofer is also a powered type that plugs in the wall. Thanks and yep I’m subscribing as your content is pretty decent!
So I have 7 speakers , and the Xbox had HDMI going from Xbox to TV, should I get a second HDMIl chord to hook up from Xbox to receiver to get the best sound quality ? But receiver is 7.1 .. so you said I could be loosing sound quality from the Xbox ? So do I need a second cable going from Xbox to receiver as well as cable for from Xbox to TV
