Connecting digital devices with HDMI jacks
What is ARC?
The system supports ARC (Audio Return Channel). 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 next to 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.
Tip
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.
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.
