Connection Guide
How do I use the HMDI Audio Return Channel (ARC) feature?
If you’re having trouble, we’re here to help!
Connect one end of a high quality
‘High-Speed’ or ‘Ultra High Speed’
HDMI cable to the HDMI ARC port on
the rear of your speaker.
NOTE:
Lower quality cables that are
not labelled High-Speed will not work
with ARC.
Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI Input of your TV
which is ARC enabled. This socket should clearly be labelled as ARC.
Make sure that HDMI ARC capability is enabled in your TVs setup menu
and the ARC output is set to Stereo/PCM by following the steps below:
•Turn CEC to On/Enabled
•Change Digital Audio Out on your TV to Linear/PCM/Stereo (description
may vary). The Power Duo speakers cannot receive Dolby/DTS surround.
•Turn TV Speakers to Off.
•Turn TV ARC to On if your TV has this menu item.
Press the ARC button on the Power Duo speakers’
remote control to select the ARC input.
When ARC is enabled you should hear the audio
from your TV (including any Smart TV Apps it may
have) via your speakers. You can also use the TVs
remote control to control the volume of the speak-
ers. Note this function works when in ARC mode
only.
