"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 KZread feed. Great video, super helpful. Keep it up!

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.

Hey Jonah, thank for posting this quick, to the point, video. It really helped me.

I'd been struggling with ARC for broadcast TV audio. Your hint about HDMI-CEC solved it. Thanks!

I like that you addressed the 7.1 / atmos / dtsx limitation of ARC definitively. This is the only vid that does that.

Hey Jonathan thanks for the video but pls the hdm1 from the cable must connect to the tv or soundboard?

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.

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.

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.

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?

Thank you for the help. I have a Polk small system and now the base is popping. Any ideas? Thanks

What I am most concerned right now, would a console connected to an AV receiver connected to a TV experience an additional amount of input lag against having the console connected to the tv which then is connected back to the receiver via HDMI ARC or not?

Just purchased a new LG 65" and the first time being able to use HDMI ARC. Love it

Great summary and explanation. Quick question: Is it normal to induce an audio delay when using ARC to connect say a console, soundbar, and compatible display and selecting the Bitstream output (for Dolby or DTS) instead of PCM? My soundbar can decode those formats and the console can push those signal outs but I find in either case this introduces visible audio delay when running through ARC (console into TV HDMI and TV ARC into soundbar ARC) , with more delay using the Dolby option. The TV is set to do audio bypass, but even when trying to play around with the sync settings it would not adjust audio to be perfectly in sync). Very curious here. I imagine if it was possible to connect a console directly to the soundbar and pass through the video this would not be a problem maybe?

@roberthuntley1090

I've taken to using an HDMI splitter to avoid this problem. LG TV's in particular have a well known problem of introducing an inconsistent audio delay when trying to pass Dolby signals through the TV to the ARC port. Lots of references on the internet if you search for it. By splitting my source HDMI into two, I can run direct feeds to both the TV and my soundbar and avoid this problem. Only gotcha to be aware of is that you need a splitter that matches the HDCP standard required by your source device. Not too expensive now, about £30 for a HDCP 2.2 compliant splitter.

However , eArc WIIL move dolby and all higher formats to receiver . (e nhanced arc)

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??

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?

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.

Can I use this splitter to connect a soundbar to the ARC HDMI from the TV (Samsung TV to Samsung soundbar) and connect a stereo from the 3.5mm audio jack at the same time?

How can i connect my sound bar to my laptop and computer monitor at the same time using just the hdmi arc on the same input?

Connecting your devices to your receiver always made the most sense to me. It is after all the centerpiece of your hifi setup.

Can you do firmware upgrade from arc to eARC on Denon x4500x?

How do I pair the roku remote volume controls with the the receiver instead of the TV? The remote can’t find the receiver.

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....

I have a problem I get picture but no sound from pre- amp, from my cable box, the pre-amp manual say use coax cable or toslink from cable box to the per- amp, both did not work even after I abled the toslink and coax on both cable and pre-amp help

So the other benefit to ARC for me is the remote, I can use my standard tv remote and the volume of my receiver goes up and down. Can I connect ARC and a toslink for the convenience of that and get best sound options? Or, how else would this work?

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?

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.

Hi all. So, I have a Sony bluray player / audio receiver with speakers. I connected my smart TV to it via Arc ports with an HDMI cable. It worked for streaming/broadcast tv for some time, but now the speakers only sound when playing bluray discs. I unplugged and plugged back the hdmi cable and checked settings and CEC is enabled, and everything else seems correctly set. What’s weird is that any time I select a different input in the tv (nintendo, or smartcast) or the tv turns on the audio receiver automatically turns too and drops the tv volume. If I turn the receiver off then the tv puts its volume. So they’re connected, it seems. Any ideas? It’s driving me a bit crazy! Thank you.

since the Sonos Arc only has 1 HDMI port, you'll need to connect your Bluray player to the TV, and if your TV doesn't have eARC, it wont be able to send lossless audio (TrueHD, DTS MA) to the Sonos Arc.

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.

@@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.

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.
