Connecting a Digital Audio System with ARC/eARC

If you would like to use the Audio Return Channel (ARC) or enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC) feature to send sound from the TV by a HDMI cable to a digital sound system, you can connect it to the HDMI (ARC/eARC) port of your TV.

By using this feature, you can also control the sound system with your TV remote instead of using the remote controls from the connected devices.

After the connection:

  1. Power on the sound system.
  2. Press / button and select Settings icon on the Home screen.
  3. Select Sound > Speakers > Audio Output, and choose ARC option. If the device supports eARC function, press / button and select Settings icon on the Home screen, then select Sound > Speakers > eARC to set eARC to On.
Note:
  • Audio receiver must support ARC/eARC function.
  • If the device has an Input Selector feature, then make sure to change it to TV.
  • When this port is used for ARC/eARC function, it can be used as signal input when a DVD is connected to an amplifier and the amplifier is connected to the TV at the same time. Some amplifiers may not support series connection.
  • 5.1 CH (channel) audio is available when the TV is connected to an external device that supports 5.1 channel surround sound. You can press / button and select Settings icon on the Home screen, and select Sound > Speakers > Digital Audio Output to choose Dolby Audio - Dolby Digital Plus to receive the 5.1 channel audio.
