Does this product support an Audio Retun Channel (ARC)?

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).

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

No, there's only one audio channel, with three alternate input options: Internal mic, external mic and instrument. Think of them as vacuum cleaner extensions.

I got this to work by connecting the receiver to the ARC HDMI port on the TV. That way, the TV sends all audio back to the receiver. But the TV must have an ARC capable HDMI port.

Your receiver should support ARC (Audio Return Channel), make sure it is enable on the receiver. That's how the sound from my over the air tv get's back to the receiver

I'm not sure.... I don't see anywhere that is says ARC - but I do use one remote for everything. I have one cable from receiver to tv and one cable from sound bar to tv and the blue ray is plugged into the receiver. Sorry I don't really know about ARC - I'm glancing thru the book - and haven't seen anything about ARC YET ...... Maybe contact BOSE to confirm 1800 736-5076

When I first set my Onkyo up, ARC worked fine. But it does not work now. Both my LG TV and Onkyo receiver have had software updates. So, one of them screwed it up. By the way, before I got the Onkyo, I had a Yamaha which was returned. ARC NEVER worked on that receiver. So, I suspect this is an issue with the TV not the receiver.

The device you're connecting to is most likely not HMDI Audio Return Channel (ARC) capable, if you read in the instruction manual it says you can only use the HDMI with devices that are ARC capable. I personally connect mine through the SPDIF / optical connection, optical cables are cheap if you look around online, and most modern TVs within the past 3 or 4 years all have SPDIF outputs. The SPDIF jack kind-of looks like a USB type-b acceptor but with a flap over it. I would suggest seeing if your TV or other device has this.

Audio Return Channel (ARC) is supported by system and it does work on a computer and a Samsung TV.

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.

One of the HDMI outputs is labeled "Zone 2" and can be used to send audio and video to a second zone, but doesn't support ARC.

I believe the answer is yes but check with audiovox ... they have a good online support site

Just so you know, it is HDMI-CEC that controls turning devices on, not ARC. ARC just allows the sound's signal to travel "backwards" through the cable. Companies usually call CEC something else for marketing purposes like Anynet+, Bravia Sync, Aquos Link, SimpLink, Viera Link, etc. Check to make sure both devices support a CEC connection (CEC-enabled). Your HDMI cables should be at least version 1.3a (which introduced audio commands), but it may be safer to just get the latest version (currently 1.4) since there are specification updates with each release. It's a good idea when buying new a/v hardware to make sure you buy the latest version cables as well. Just so you know, it is HDMI-CEC that controls turning devices on, not ARC.

Yes, but it will only process P25 Phase 1 audio. It will not receive P25 Phase 2 audio, D Star, DMR, Pro Voice, or any other digital format.

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).

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.

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
