Still using multiple cables for your soundbar and TV? HDMI ARC can do it all with just one. If you are unsure about how to use HDMI ARC with your devices, this guide will help you understand and set it up easily.
To use HDMI ARC, connect a high-speed HDMI cable from your TV’s ARC port to the ARC port of your soundbar or home theatre. Then, enable HDMI ARC in your TV’s sound settings. Once activated, your smart TV will automatically send audio to the external device.
No, not all smart TVs have HDMI ARC. Most modern TVs include at least one ARC port, but older models may not. Always check your TV’s specifications or look for the ARC label on the HDMI ports to confirm if the feature is supported.
HDMI ARC is often better than optical because it can handle higher-quality audio formats and supports device control through a single remote. Optical cables are helpful for older setups, but ARC offers a simpler and more efficient connection for most modern smart TVs.
One disadvantage of HDMI ARC is that not all devices are fully compatible, leading to occasional setup issues. It may also have limitations when compared to the newer eARC standard in specific high-resolution audio formats. Still, for most users, HDMI ARC is more than sufficient.
First, ensure that both your TV and soundbar support ARC. Connect them using a compatible HDMI cable in the ARC ports. Then enable HDMI ARC or CEC in the settings menu. If the sound does not play, restart both devices and check the cable for any faults.
