Enable HDMI® ARC or eARC
HDMI® ARC, or on selected TVs, eARC, is the audio return channel that is available on one of
the TV’s HDMI® ports. The audio return channel enables you to send Dolby Audio™ content or
DTS audio content back to a home theater receiver that is also sending an audio and video
signal into the TV. Using HDMI® ARC or eARC reduces the number of cables needed and
controls the volume and mute state of the receiver while watching TV.
HDMI® ARC or eARC is disabled by default. To enable it, in the Home screen menu, navigate
to Settings > System > Control other devices (CEC), and then highlight HDMI ARC. Press OK
to enable or disable the feature.
