Hello, All the hdmi ports are 2.1 and also the hdmi 1 port supports eARC but there is a option that may turn the eARC off.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, I own a 2020 PQ75-H1, I had a Yamaha TSR-100 and Sony STR DN1080. Both support ARC (Vizio calls ARC CEC) and eARC. IT'S A MESS. When you use the ARC HDMIs, you have to tell the Vizio to look for devices. It finds them..... It may work for a few hours but what seems to happen is that the Vizio likes to tell the receiver to go from what ever you are watching (Set Top Box, Roku, BluRay) to TV. It like do prioritize the Vizio TV Apps over anything. (it did this on both receivers). The Yamaha, couldn't handle this at all and so you lost both Video and Audio), the Sony only lost Video. BUT when you lose Video, Vizio tells you there is no source input, you can't check your receiver's settings on you Vizio TV. Even after I turned it all off ARC and eARC on TV and Receiver, one day the Vizio said no input on HDMI 1 (the ARC input/output), luckily my Sony Receiver has a non ARC HDMI out, I connected thru that it every thing is fine, like it is 2009.. or just before ARC was introduced....manual everyting! I am up to VP of something at Vizio, they want me to test pushing all HDMI content to directly to Vizio and use Digital Optical Out from Vizio to Reciever. If it works that is good, BUT that is why we have ARC! I am tempted to take the Vizio back and by a Sony, TV but it the X900 doesn't support eARC only the X950, which is almost 1K more.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.eARC is HDMI 3.
