If your television doesn't support eARC, and you have an external device providing a Dolby Atmos AV signal, then couldn't you run that signal into your AVR via a HDMI cable, and allow it to act like a splitter by taking the audio portion of the signal, processing it, and then outputting the Dolby Atmos signal to the speakers, while allowing the video portion of the signal to pass on through and out to the television??? Also, I thought ARC could allow one to receive Dolby Atmos audio from streaming services that use the format, which includes Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, because those services embed Dolby Atmos in a Dolby Digital Plus stream, which ARC can handle.

They need to have this video playing at Best Buy when you buy a new tv or sound bar. It’s great info on how the “standard” is supposed to work and might stop people from buying the wrong sound system to start with.

I like the image examples explaining the processes made it a lot easier for a tech dummy like me to understand. Kudos to you. I'll keep this for reference when I want to explain it to others.

Great explanation and now I have CEC enabled and working and the arc sorted out so apps like Netflix are playing through my amp rather than the TV speakers! At last! Thank you Chris.

I had already picked up all this information along the way to getting my stuff working like I want it to. However, this video was a nice, reasonably short double-check and confirmation that I understood these features and was using them correctly to their best advantage. Putting all this information in one place is very helpful, even if it's already working on my gear. Thanks, Chris.

You're the first person to tell me that when I can't get sound from my tv app to sound system to try unplugging the sound system and replugging it back in. I started working once before when we had a power outage, but stopped again when we had another outage. Thanks for the help! You just earned a subscriber.

Sir, you are a gentle and a scholar. I have been going nuts trying to figure out what the issue was with my setup. I was in line with everything and could get sound from my DVD player but could NOT get sound from the Smart TV itself...until I physically removed electrical power from both the TV AND the Amplifier. Waited 30 sec before plugging both components back into the wall outlet, then tada. Wasn't until I found this video tutorial that that step even occurred might be a necessity. Kudos to You.

Wow. Thank you for this helpful info dump. Being able to use one remote for my setup is a nice feature. It's crazy that my TV and sound system were capable of doing this the whole time I've had them.

Great video. Well explained and demonstrated without unnecessary filler and the HDMI-CEC codenames reference is very helpful. Length was perfect for my short attention span. Well done.

eARC has been a lifesaver. Only one remote needed like he said and with CEC enabled you control volume and power off/on. I've been swapping out remotes every few years when adding things like a Roku or new game console. Universal remotes used to be a must but not anymore. A good modern smart TV with eARC combined with a modern soundbar or Home Theater AVR eARC and all is fine. The only problem that still remains is getting certain codecs like Atmos, DTS or DTS-HD to pass from the TV to the sound device. I read that many TV manufactures now like LG no longer do DTS or DTS-HD and just pass the signal as PCM 5.1. Still sounds good but very confusing.

I am super impressed by the quality of this video. The presentation was great and the information never redundant and all worth knowing on the subject. Damn near perfect.

Meanwhile the sony bdv e2100 almost a soundbar with separated 5.1speaker lost sound in sorround speaker dolby digtal plus and atmos, inspite to be HDMI ARC build in, also it is not wide dinamic audio range capable, the sound is flat via PCM. So I disided to stay with the pioneer vsx rs320 becausa even has better effects movies sound than the sony bdv-e2100, I thinks the optical audio is capable in audio only needs good hardware to reproduce sounds, I still didn´t test earc so far.

Hi Chris, amazing video. I wanted to share that while your approach for the Xbox series X and soundbar is correct for the HDMI connections there are some soundbars/TVs that are not compatible together and will cause a sound delay on the Xbox when trying to use Dolby Atmos. I experienced this when I bought a Samsung soundbar for my LG cx and Xbox series x. My tv would not let me use the audio Passthrough setting with the Samsung. I then returned the Samsung and bought an LG soundbar and now I can use the Passthrough setting and Dolby Atmos has no delay on my Xbox series x.

eARC is part of HDMI 2.1 standard, and HDMI 2.1 supports 4K@120hz (and also 8K@60hz). So if your TV and sound bar supports eARC and have ports marked "eARC" *you know* it supports 4K@120hz just fine. The only thing you have to make sure is to have a proper HDMI 2.1 cable plugged in your TV (eARC audio can run fine on just an HDMI 1.4 cable).

They COULD have made HDMI a superfast bidirectional audio and video pipeline from the start. But, it was originally more about copyright protection than usability and features.

ARC has one downside: its audio is limited to 5.1. So if your gear is not the new and more capable eARC, you kinda have to choose between great audio from your smart TV vs the great control functionality of CEC. Of course, if all your program sources are external to the TV this is not an issue…. but given the awesome capabilities of the new smart TVs, were I configuring a new system today I’d ensure that both the TV and the AVR were eARC.

Very happy and thankful for your clear information, Chris. I bought a 2022 55" Samsung crystal Clear UHD TV in a sale. Later I discovered that the TV didn't support Dolby Atmos. I was already dissapointed and searching for a solution. Good to hear that you can place the soundbar before the TV: meaning that your Streaming service-signal first goes through the Soundbar and then to your TV instead of the other way around. So you don't lose the Dolby Atmos signal which the soundbar supports but the TV doesn't. This probably works because of the eARC-HDMI-ports on both Soundbar and TV. Soundbar only has to put through the visual to the TV and the Surround sound signal is already in the soundbar. Sounds plausible 😎 I only have to buy a good soundbar (with eARC and Dolby Atmos) now. Plus a few Ultra High speed cables for my other devices. Minding that I need a soundbar with a few extra HDMI-ports. Thanks!!!
