**Connect the AVR to your TV
* Using a high quality HDMI cable, connect one end to the HDMI port labeled
“eARC” or “ARC” on your TV.
Connect the other end to the HDMI OUT MONITOR 1 port on your AVR.
What is ARC and eARC?
Audio Return Channel or “ARC” sends audio back to the AVR using the same HDMI
cable that sends video from your AVR to your TV. This allows your AVR to
process the sound from your TV’s built-in tuner and apps. TVs with an Enhanced
Audio Return Channel or “eARC” port provide additional support for high
bitrate multichannel audio (Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD and DTS:X).
Please refer to your TV owner’s manual for details about eARC support for your
particular model.
-
For 4K TVs, we recommend using an HDMI cable labeled “High Speed” and “with Ethernet” .
-
For 8K TVs, we recommend using an HDMI cable labeled “Ultra High Speed”
