Connecting a Soundbar - HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel)
The ARC (Audio Return Channel) function allows you to send audio from your ARC-compliant TV to ARC-compliant audio devices
(e.g. soundbar) through a single HDMI connection.
To enjoy the ARC function, please ensure your ARC-compliant audio devices are connected by an HDMI cable that support the
ARC function to the HDMI 1(ARC) socket of your ARC-compliant TV. When correctly set up, you can use your TV remote control to
adjust the volume output (VOL +/– and MUTE) of the connected audio device.
• Ensure that audio device is HDMI CEC and ARC compliant and that the TV is connected to the device using an HDMI cable
attached to HDMI-ARC connectors.
• The HDMI 1 connector is HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC) compliant. Use it to output digital audio to an HDMI home
theater system.
• If the ARC-compliant audio devices do not support sound that TV outputs, such as Dolby Digital, or Dolby Digital Plus,
then ARC function will not work and there may be no sound from ARC-compliant audio devices. In this case, additional
connection with digital optical cable is necessary.
• The HDMI CEC feature has different trade names on different brands. The compatibility performance may vary with
different CEC-enabled devices.
• Please refer to your ARC-compliant devices' guidebook for more details on the operation of the HDMI ARC function.
• Ensure HDMI_CEC is On (refer to page 40 for details on HDMI_CEC).
