Does the right angle adapter support ARC (Audio Return Channel)? And would it deter the cable ability to carry Ethernet, 3D?

The right angle adapter did not fit into the Samsung HDMI port because of the direction and location of the port.

I'm not sure if it would or not, I would imagine that it would, my problem with the right angle adapter was that it directed the cable the towards the front of the tv not towards the rear away from the tv.

I bought this same model (xvb5004) and it came with cables. Sorry, I don't know the answer to your question if you need anything special to stream 3-D. I wouldn't think so since you are just using a cat-5 cable to connect the device to your computer/tv/game console/or whatever.

I assume you are looking to run the audio out from TV to an audio receiver or similar. The Audio Return Channel (ARC) running through the HDMI connector labeled for ARC appears to only support stereo (2 channel) audio. The original source should be irrelevant. I have a Sony 7.1 channel audio receiver hooked up and attempted to run all my sources (Verizon FIOS box, PS3, etc) directly into the TV and then have it forward the audio to the receiver via ARC in order to avoid having to use the HDMI video switching in the receiver. However I found that it took my 7.1 sources and only passed through 2 channels (L/R)!!! It's not clear whether the TV internals or the connection is limiting this, but if you dig into specs you'll see that the quality of audio that you'll get via ARC is dependent on what the device is built to send through and TVs often only support 2ch as their own built-in speakers are limited to this. With this TV however, you do have the option of using the optical audio out connector from the TV to receiver which does support 5.1. It does NOT support 7.1. Since I refuse to have two useless speakers I had to wire all sources back through the A/V receiver first and then a single HDMI out to the TV so the TV is not in the audio path at all. The drawback is less clean input source changing but I can live with that. The only exception is when the TV itself is the audio source for example when using the Apps like Skype, Amazon VoD, HBO Go, etc. For those I used the optical audio out from TV mentioned above which results in a good 5.1 to my audio system (I doubt the apps or their content really support 7.1 anyway). Sorry for the lengthy explanation, but as I learned there are a lot of details to this. If you only care about 5.1 and not 7.1, then I suggest you use the optical audio instead of ARC and then it should work fine at the very least for any HDMI input to the TV (I haven't tried any others).

It is HDMI 1.4a output (- Supports Blu-ray Stereoscopic 3D with HDMI Port), so you will have multichannel audio with ARC. You can even have 5.1 through the optical (Toshlink) output via this board (no ARC though, but pure DTS stream at 1.5 mbit/s using DTS connect).

I am not sure the function of ARC, but it does do audio with HDMI. Input devices also provide audio as well.

Diana Gray,This model's HDMI-2 port supports the ARC (Audio Return Channel) feature. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products.--Mr. S

This card has built-in 5.1 surround audio (AC3) pass-through capabilities, the new GPUs and graphics cards support a single HDMI connection direct to a compatible TV or receiver. This single cable carries both the HD video and 5.1 surround audio for a clean, high definition connection. I personally haven't used this card for TV, and can't verify the results due to the vast number of TV and receiver options available. But, the AC3 and 1080p quality is stunning.

Not aware of any HDMI issues, it's a little confusing with HDMI port assighments. Have ARC working as well with new TV...works great.

I'm not sure about ARC, but it's connected with an HDMI cable. I have a Comcast Xfinity box that plugs into the system, then another HDMI runs to the TV. Then amazing sound comes out.

Dear T.M.,Thank you for your question regarding our BlueRigger HDMI cables! Our HDMI cables do support ARC for audio return. The 75 foot and 100 foot HDMI cables are unidirectional and don't support the ARC.Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions.Thanks,BlueRigger LLCservice@bluerigger.com

My Sony is older and does not have ARC, but occasionally the command pass through seems to work. Mostly from the (Sony) Blu Ray. Generally it's worth having the HDMI connection, if only to automatically shutdown the Soundbar when the TV is turned off.

This switch box is just a "selectable" wire box. There's no chips/electronics inside that would hinder ARC supported device to talk via this switch. Because any HDMI cable can be used to support ARC, so does this switch box.One thing to note is there're two small diodes inside of this switch to ensure that the data flow only goes one way from the input port (the two outside ports) to the output port (the center port); I don't know if these diodes would interfere with the return channel; but if it's so, it's very easy to just jump the wires over the diode to create bi-directional data wires (like regular HDMI cables).

It stands for "Audio Return Channel." Basically, it allows sound and video to be sent/received through one HDMI cable, rather than having an HDMI for video and another cable for sound, such as an Auxiliary cable or Optical audio cable. I'm not sure whether or not that terminology is wide spread or just a panasonic term, but usually an "ARC" capable HDMI port will be marked with an Omega Sign.

I have no idea. What is it? Why would you expect a TV set to have an ARC? Does your current TV have it?

The specs for this cable say it does support the HDMI ethernet channel (part of HDMI v1.4 http://www.hdmi.org/manufacturer/hdmi_1_4/hec.aspx)
