∫ What is ARC?
ARC is an abbreviation of Audio Return Channel, also known as HDMI ARC. It refers to one of the HDMI functions. When you
connect the main unit to the terminal labelled “HDMI (ARC)” on the TV, the optical digital audio cable that is usually required in
order to listen to sound from a TV is no longer required, and TV pictures and sound can be enjoyed with a single HDMI cable.
Make the connection.
