- With the ARC (Audio Return Channel) function, you can send the audio input from your ARC-compliant
TV to ARC-compliant audio devices (e.g. soundbar) without the need to connect an audio cable.
- To enjoy the ARC function, make sure the main unit of the HDMI OUT socket is connected by an HDMI
cable to the HDMI (ARC) socket of your ARC-compliant TV. Then, just use your TV remote control to
adjust the volume output (VOL +/– and MUTE) of the connected audio device.
NOTE
- Your TV must support the HDMI-CEC and ARC and the HDMI-CEC and ARC must be set to ON.
- The setting method of HDMI-CEC and ARC may dier depending on the TV. For details about ARC
function, please refer to the owner’s manual.
- Ensure to use an HDMI cable that can support the ARC function.
- HDMI-CEC will be called dierent names by dierent manufacturers – please refer to your owner’s
manual for details on setting up HDMI-CEC and ARC.
Method 2: Standard HDMI
- If your TV is not HDMI ARC-compliant, connect the main unit to the TV through a standard HDMI
connection.
1. Use an HDMI cable (not included) to connect the main unit HDMI OUT socket to the TV’s HDMI IN
socket.
2. Use an HDMI cable (not included) to connect the main unit HDMI IN socket to the AV’s HDMI OUT
socket.
