A:AnswerCEC stands for "Consumer Electronics Control," and it needs to be enabled in both the TV and AV receiver for ARC to function. The often-overlooked ARC stands for "Audio Return Channel," and ever since the HDMI 1.4 standard was introduced, ARC has been available on TVs, soundbars and receivers. This protocol offers two-way communication between devices over a single HDMI connection. Essentially, the HDMI ARC port lets you use HDMI as both an input and an audio output.
A:AnswerHaving worked in the A/V industry for many years, receiver specs can be misleading when it comes to power. The 70W is per channel continuous rated. The 145W refers to max power, I.e. during loud music or movies. Years ago they often would tout total power numbers by adding the channels and saying something like 500W. I don’t see this as much anymore.

A:Answerbought this unit 2 month ago with whatever firmware version was there and using it with eARC hdmi connection on my Samsung smart TV. it was a little confusing initially, but the majority of the setup is on the TV side. Unit works flawlessly using TV remote for volume and on/off functions.

A:AnswerJust run the hdmi through the receiver and out to your tv. There are multiple inputs on the receiver. Pick one for the ps3. There is only one output on the receiver. Run that to the tv. Use the receiver to change your inputs rather than the tv in this case. You could also use the toslink optical output on the ps3 and run that to the receiver instead.
A:AnswerYou can’t connect two receivers via Bluetooth at the same time. Bluetooth to one receive and connect the audio output to a stand alone Bluetooth transmitter to the second receiver. There will be a slight delay to the second receiver.
A:AnswerI don’t have Sennheiser headphones, and an internet search came up empty for Sennheiser 750 headphones. However, if they are Bluetooth compatible, they will work with the receiver as the receiver has receive and transmit functionality. I have been using my BT headphones without any problem. Please note the speaker and headphone volumes are settable separate from each other.
A:AnswerIt’s only compatible with a sandDisk USB Flash Drive. It will not recognize a device using a USB cable attached to an I-Phone. I use my Bluetooth to stream music to the receiver from my I-Phone. You can set your I-Phone to shuffle while streaming.
