We all know that with a single HDMI cable, you can send both audio and digital video from device to device. However, the digital highway is a single flow. Audio and video are from the device from which the sound originates to the TV (or projector), never vice versa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To control volume, you have to use HDMI CEC, also known as Consumer Electronics Control, extremely, very low-bandwidth commands that you can find in both directions along the HDMI cable<\/a>. You’ll need a TV remote to control the AV receiver’s volume and an AV receiver remote to turn off the TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It wasn’t until the incorporation of a revised HDMI standard (HDMI 1.4) that things began to change, thanks to ARC technology. It\u2019s designed to control all your audio equipment with one remote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You might already be using the best ARC HDMI cable<\/strong> without knowing it. Now, let\u2019s understand how it works.<\/p>\n\n\n Audio Return Channel enhances a TV\u2019s capability to transmit back audio along the HDMI cable to the original device. If you have an AV receiver and fix it in a streaming device, game console, or Blu-ray player, the receiver plays the audio via your home speakers and transfers the video part through to the TV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Several TVs have TV runners or streaming applications. If you need audio from your speakers and not built-in speakers in your TV, then you must run another cable from the TV to the receiver, which is cumbersome and requires one to press extra buttons when you switch to the TV as your desired audio source. HDMI ARC offers the simplicity of using one cable to serve your sound requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n Why do more and more people choose the HDMI ARC over the optical cable?<\/p>\n\n\n The combination of optical cable and regular HDMI undermines the simplicity of a single-cable connection.<\/p>\n\n\n An optical cable is the best choice if you send Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sounds between devices. However, you\u2019ll need to create a different surround sound type format, such as DTS.X or Dolby Atmos. Regardless of the data capacity, HDMI ARC can transfer these formats. Therefore, if you’re streaming any Dolby Atmos title from sites such as Disney+, you can transmit signals to your soundbar or an AV receiver that\u2019s compatible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The only downside is that although HDMI ARC can transmit high bandwidth formats, this might not be possible if your device doesn\u2019t support such formats. For example, some devices can play Dolby Atmos from their inbuilt speakers but can pass through the same content using an HDMI ARC type of connection.<\/p>\n\n\n You’ll need to physically switch to an optical port when you use an optical link from the soundbar or TV to the receiver. But to listen to your TV’s sound, change to the HDMI ports on the soundbar, receiver, or TV when switching to external sources of the program. You will have to permit or deactivate your TV’s in-built speakers every time you change. But when it comes to HDMI ARC, you may leave the soundbar or receiver’s remotes when watching a TV program; the receiver or soundbar automatically switches to the right input.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTable of Contents<\/h2>\n
