What is ARC?

The system supports Audio Return Channel (ARC). The ARC function sends TV sound from a TV’s HDMI input jack to
an AV device (this system, an AV amplifier, or a sound bar, etc.) via an HDMI cable.

To check whether your TV supports ARC or not

If you can find “ARC” printed near an HDMI input jack on your TV, your TV supports ARC. If you are not sure, refer to the
manual supplied with your TV, or contact the manufacturer of your TV.

Note on connection of the processor and a TV

The connection method to be used between the processor and your TV differs, depending on whether your TV supports
ARC or not.
If your TV supports ARC and you want to use the ARC function on the processor, connect them as shown in “

example 1: Connecting to ARC-equipped TV

You may need to make the setting for the digital audio output on your TV. In this case, see the manuals supplied with the
devices connected to the TV.

Hint

Normally, only the Number 1 jack of the HDMI input jacks on a TV supports ARC. Make sure that you are connecting the
processor to the correct HDMI input jack on the TV.
