Your TV (regardless of brand) has to have an EARC HDMI port. This is NOT a regular HDMI port. Check your TV - if you have it - one of your HDMI inputs should be labeled "EARC." If you don't have an EARC HDMI port, you won't be able to totally take advantage of the system. And if your TV isn't HDMI 2.1 compatible (MOST TVs are not so check your model) you won't be able to pass through 4k 120 hz / 120 fps video signal.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The first answer is correct but, if you look at the picture supplied on this site the connection is BOTH to allow for either EArc or Arc conductivity to the TV. "ARC can, however, allow you to receive Dolby Atmos audio from streaming services such as Netflix, Disney Plus and Amazon Prime Video, as these services embed Dolby Atmos in the lossy Dolby Digital Plus format, which ARC can handle." Credit WHAT*HI-FI site. EArc why you want it... "The main benefit of eARC is a big boost in bandwidth and speed. This allows you to send higher-quality audio from your TV to a soundbar or AV receiver. There’s scope for eARC to deliver up to 32 channels of audio, including eight-channel, 24bit/192kHz uncompressed data streams at speeds of up to 38Mbps. This means all those high bitrate formats currently available on Blu-ray discs, 4K Blu-rays and some streaming services – Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio and object-based formats such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X – will all be compatible." Credit WHAT* HI-FI site. Finally, EArc is not backward compatible to ARC everything from you don't gain the benefits from Earc to speaker noise can occur based on who manufactured your equipment. But again, with this system it is COMPATIABLE with both as long as the ARC types are the same going into your TV. Wanted to get all the best information I could a from well-respected website. And to save me a bunch of typing!!
