A. What is Enhanced Audio Return Channel (ARC / eARC)?
HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC) / enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC) offers two-way communication between your soundbar
and TV over a single HDMI connection. Essentially, the HDMI ARC port lets you use HDMI as both an input and an audio output. An
eARC-compatible TV can send original, full resolution (lossless) audio signals to the soundbar. For eARC, you will need to connect
your soundbar to the TV's HDMI eARC port using a high speed HDMI 2.1 cable.
The soundbar's eARC port is backwards-compatible with ARC and can also accept audio signals from HDMI ARC Equipped TV's.
Audio Settings for TV*
Setting the audio output:
1. Go to Settings > Sound
2. Select Speaker Settings
3. Set as HDMI Audio Out
4. For eARC equipped TV’s only:
Please also check your TV settings and turn on eARC mode if available.
This option might be found under the advanced/expert options on your TV.
Setting the audio format:
A) Go to Settings > Sound > Additional Settings
B) Select Speaker Audio Format
C) Set as Dolby Digital / DTS / Bitstream (whichever is available)
B. What is CEC?
CEC is an HDMI protocol that is only available when:
1. Your TV is CEC enabled. (Check with your TV manufacturer for more information)
2. The soundbar and TV is connected via a HDMI cable through the ARC ports.
By doing so, you are able to control the soundbar’s volume and power functions with the TV remote.
Enabling CEC^
From the SYSTEM menu, enable CEC and ARC^ functions.
From the CEC menu, select Device Discovery to register the soundbar with the TV.
Enable CEC for TV only. Do not enable CEC for other source devices or inputs may switch randomly.
To disable CEC on the soundbar, see Pg 28.
* Steps may differ based on TV brand. See your TV’s user manual for more information.
