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.
