Re: Home Theater: Is this TV HDMI-ARC (Audio Return Channel) compatible.

Yes, it is. HDMI2 is labeled ARC. We also have the 65 inch version of this TV and use the ARC audio setup with an external Samsung sound bar. It's a little funky, but it works fine 99% of the time. Sometimes the TV loses its pairing and you have to repair it and/or select external speakers in the menu, but for the most part it works. The smaller version has the same port on the back which supports the ARC thing from what I can see.

Without knowing more about you setup (type of TV, etc.) I cannot answer with certainty. If you have the receiver and the TV connection via HDMI from the receivers HDMI out you might be able to use TV audio return channel. Otherwise connecting the optical cable should work, just make sure you have the correct mode selected on the receiver. I believe it is TV but it could be different. Check the manual.

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.

Thank you so much for your help. I was afraid no one was going to respond! The receiver does have ARC according to the manual. I will first try to connect without getting a set-top box from the cable company; but if that doesn't work, I will have to get one.

The HDMI (ARC) cable takes the input/output from the blueray player to your TV HDMI (ARC)input/output. The one cable does everything. The cable rating should be "high speed." I got RCA Digital plus cable. My Samsung TV says with the Audio Return Chanel (ARC) enabled, optical input is disabled.If you do not have ARC available on your TV, you have HDMI but not HDMI (ARC), then you would need both types cable, the HDMI and optical. Only the ARC type sends and receives from both units. That's the way I see it!

Yes it does. If your receiver supports return of audio then you can even utilize the same hdmi cable to feed audio back to the receiver provided your hdmi cable also supports it.

Yes it does. I have the audio out through HDMI (was the default setting for Win 7 Pro) to a TV. The TV will play the audio or loop the audio back to a home theater receiver on the ARC port.

I saw a few Denon receivers featuring the ability to convert analogue signal types (like component and composite) up to digital, but that feature is the exception. The rule is, if the source uses a type of connection, that same type of connection has to go from the receiver to TV.FYI, ARC just deals with passing audio back from a TV to the receiver. If, for example, you have your cable TV hooked up directly to the TV, or you're using the TV's built in tuner, and sometimes you want to pipe the audio out to speakers, ARC allows the TV AUDIO to be output to the receiver.

It "Does this support audio return channel via HDMI. Takes a little help from tech support to get it set up for this.

You will need it if your TV has an HDMI input, but the TV does not support what is called an Audio Return Channel (ARC). If this is the case, you will need an optical cable to send the audio from the TV to the receiver. If your TV supports ARC, then you will not need the optical cable. ARC allows audio from the TV to be sent to the receiver using the same HDMI cable that is used to send video from the receiver to the TV. My TV does not support ARC, so I am using HDMI for video and an optical cable for audio.

Hi Robert - hadn't heard of "arc hdmi" before so I googled it real quick (http://hdguru.com/what-is-hdmi-arc-and-what-does-it-do-for-your-hdtv/8322/) - - and then turned my TCL around to see if there was an input. As far as I can tell, no it does not have an ARC HDMI input....hope that helps.

I've been trying to get the ARC to work on my tv for a week. Went thru every device/connection scenario in my head a million times. Gave myself a massive headache. Swapped cables, re-rigged differently, etc.Talked to Yamaha rep twice [yamaha RX-V667 receiver], talked to Samsung 'experts' twice.I finally decided to go back to the basics. "Does this tv even support ARC??"rep lookingrep lookingrep lookingnope.I don't feel stupid.*LOL*

I guess you could do it that way. If you're TV has ARC support like mine does then I hooked up my components directly to the TV and then ran 1 hdmi cable from the ARC connection on the TV to the connection on the soundbar.

I prefer to hook my critical video equipment, especially reference equipment, directly to my monitor. You can use the ARC HDMI to get TV sound out of the Receiver.there 'has' to be 'some' information lost in the translation, imo.

Hi, I installed mine today on a samsung hdtv and samsumsung home theatre. It does not support The ARC function .......ARVIND..

Can't speak to the Aquous 3d, but with my Panasonic and Tivo, I ran the cable from the wall to the TIVO, HDMI cable to any HDMI input on the tv, then run a second HDMI cable from the new speaker (HDMI output 3 labeled "AV out to TV") to TV. Cable from speaker to TV should be plugged into TV HDMI opening labeled "ARC". Hope it works....

Yes it does but the manual states "The optical connection is only needed for A/V receivers that do not support ARC (Audio Return Channel)
