ARC Mode

The front panel of the receiver provides a buttons to enable or disable ARC mode, as below figure shows:

Press the button with paper clip or other sharp tool to enable the ARC mode, and then the left LED illuminates blue. Press it again to exit the ARC mode and the LED will turn off.

ARC ModeDisplay (e.g.TV)Audio Transmission Path
ONARC is supportedThe TV audio is transmitted from the TV back to the receiver via HDMI cable, and then it will be output by the ARC Audio Out port of transmitter.
ONARC is not supportedConnect the TV to the ARC Audio In port of receiver with an audio cable. The TV audio is transmitted from the TV back to the receiver via the audio cable, and then it will be output by the ARC Audio Out port of transmitter.
OFF /The TV audio can’t go back to the ARC Audio Out port of transmitter. The Audio Breakout port of receiver is connected to a speaker or amplifier for HDMI source audio de-embedding.

Note: If the ARC mode is ON, the Audio Breakout port of receiver has no audio output.

System Connection

The following diagram illustrates the typical input and output connections of the extender:

  1. The ARC mode of the receiver is ON, and the display device (e.g. HDTV) supports ARC. The TV audio is transmitted from the TV back to the receiver via an HDMI cable, and then it will output at the ARC Audio Out port of the transmitter.
  1. The ARC mode of receiver is ON, but the display device (e.g. HDTV) doesn’t support ARC. The TV audio is transmitted from the TV back to the receiver via the audio cable, and then it will output at the ARC Audio Out port of the transmitter.

Note: The S/FTP cable is recommended to be used to ensure optimal machine performance in ARC mode.

  1. The ARC mode of receiver is OFF. The TV audio can’t go back to the ARC Audio Out port of the transmitter. The Audio Breakout port of receiver is connected to speaker or amplifier for HDMI source audio de-embedding.
