Connecting a Digital Audio System with ARC/eARC

If you would like to use the Audio Return Channel (ARC) or enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC) feature to send sound from the console by a HDMI cable to a digital sound system, you can connect it to the HDMI (ARC/eARC) port of your console.

By using this feature, you can also control the sound system with your console remote instead of using the remotes for each device.

After the connection:

  1. Power on the sound system.

  2. Press button on your remote control to select Settings > Display & Sound > Audio Output > HDMI (ARC/eARC). If the device supports eARC function, press button and select Settings > Display & Sound > Sound > eARC to Auto.

Note:
  • Audio receiver must support ARC function.
  • If the device has an Input Selector feature, then make sure to change it to console.
  • When this port is used for ARC function, it can be used as signal input when a DVD is connected to an amplifier and the amplifier is connected to the console at the same time. Some amplifiers may not support series connection.
  • 5.1 CH (channel) audio is available when the console is connected to an external device that supports 5.1 channel surround sound. You can press button on your remote control to select Settings > Display & Sound > Digital Audio Output > Digital Audio Format to choose Dolby Audio - Dolby Digital Plus to receive the 5.1 channel audio.
