If it isn’t marked, your owner’s manual will tell you. Most components will mark the Audio Return Channel-compatible HDMI port(s) with “(ARC)” so you can determine the correct one. Once equipped with a compatible TV and sound device, how does it work? Many sound bars with HDMI also include ARC support, like models from Samsung, Sharp, Toshiba, and Panasonic. Many surround sound receivers and processors include ARC support. Second, you need an external audio device with HDMI and ARC support. You may have to read the manual, or check the actual HDMI input labels, to see if it enables use of ARC. Even though most TVs now include ARC, spec sheets often don’t list it. The LG 55LA7400 we recently reviewed has support as well. Samsung models with Smart TV features usually include it. Every Panasonic model this year, LCD and Plasma, has ARC support. What do you need to take advantage of ARC? First, you need a display that supports it. All of these audio sources can be sent out over ARC to an external sound system instead of using the lower quality TV speakers. Then, of course, there’s Blu-ray players and gaming consoles that send surround sound audio to your display. The integrated HDTV tuner has stereo and 5.1 audio tracks with broadcast programming. Smart TVs have Netflix, Hulu, and other streaming content that can carry 5.1 audio streams. There are many applications where this becomes useful. Put simply, instead of needing an extra audio output cable from your TV to a sound device, the ARC enabled HDMI jack on an HDTV doubles as an audio output, sending all the TV-connected sources to HDMI ARC-equipped audio component.
It permits owners to maintain all the TVs HDMI connections while sending the audio back down to a sound bar, HTIB, or surround sound receiver. So what is ARC, and how do you take advantage of it?
