ARC (Audio Return Channel) and eARC (Enhanced Audio
Return Channel) support:
If your TV supports ARC, your TV can send audio back to the AV receiver
when you are using your TV’s built-in video sources (TV tuner, Smart TV
streaming services, etc.) ARC requires that you enable HDMI CEC on your
TV. Please refer to your TV’s Owner’s Manual for instructions on how to
setup HDMI CEC. In addition, if your TV supports eARC, it can also send
back high bitrate audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos,
DTS-HD Master Audio and DTS:X. Please refer to your TV’s Owner’s
Manual for additional information about enabling the eARC function.
