Audio Return Channel (ARC) function

Audio Return Channel (ARC) function enables an HDMI capable TV to send the audio stream to the HDMI OUT of the AV receiver.

This function can be used when:

your TV is ARC capable, and

the TV/CD input selector is selected, and

HDMI Control (RIHD)” is set to “On”(page 52), and

Audio Return Channel” is set to “Auto” (page 53).

Tip

To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV’s speakers:

Set the “HDMI Control (RIHD)” setting to “On” (page 52) for an p-compatible TV.

Set the “Audio TV Out” setting to “On” (page 53) when the TV is not compatible with p, or the “HDMI Control (RIHD)” setting to “Off”.

Set your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player’s HDMI audio output setting to PCM.

To listen to TV audio through the AV receiver, see “Connecting Your Components” (page 16).

Note

When listening to an HDMI component through the AV receiver, set the HDMI component so that its video can be seen on the TV screen (on the TV, select the input of the HDMI component connected to the AV receiver). If the TV power is off or the TV is set to another input source, this may result in no sound from the AV receiver or the sound may be cut off.

As the “Audio TV Out” setting is set to “On” (page 53) to hear from your TV speakers, the sound will also be output from the AV receiver’s speakers if you adjust the volume of the AV receiver. Similarly, as the “HDMI Control (RIHD)” setting is set to “On” (page 52) to hear from the speakers of an p-compatible TV, the AV receiver’s speakers will produce sound if you adjust the volume of the AV receiver, while the TV speakers will be muted. To stop the AV receiver’s speakers from producing sound, you can either change the settings on the AV receiver or on the TV, or turn down the volume of the AV receiver.
