A:AnswerYes. The hdmi cable supports up to 13 channels of audio so when you run the hdmi cable out of the Sony 4k player to your Visio Sound bar input and then run another hdmi from the ARC output to your ARC connection on your Visio you’ll be all set to hear your player play back in 5.1 format and it’ll select it automatically.
