Question

Gregg · Accepted Answer

Yes this does support HDMI Arc. I have it hook up mine and it works great!

Dub3 · Answer

Yes, it works well for that.

BigJack · Answer

I wonder if any sound bar has that feature. ARC is essentially for sending audio to a receiver that didn't originate from a receiver. Example would be the signal from a Smart TV source. That A/V signal would typically come from a wifi connection to the TV, not having passed thru the receiver first.

Most cables will. I have an AudioQuest Pearl HDMI cable and it supports ARC. You need to make sure you are plugged into the TV's ARC HDMI port and that your TV is set to activate ARC.

Craith · Answer

Yes. Select tv from the speaker menu and the tv will find the sound bar.

Yes, all HDMI should support ARC as far as I know.

FastEddie · Answer

The better ones should, although the Toslink cabling gives excellant sound.

ADAMLSTL · Answer

Optical cable direct from the TV to the soundbar will give you the best quality sound.

I used these cables using a pioneer elite receiver and speakers. There were special setting for the receiver. To make it all work. Optical should have worked for your sound bar.

Hello,

All HDMI cables will support Audio Return Channel functionality as long as they are connected to Audio Return Channel-enabled devices on both ends. In this case both the TV and the sound bar would need to have ARC HDMI connections.
