[eARC]
Set this function when the speaker system is connected to a TV’s HDMI IN jack that is compatible with eARC. When connecting to a TV compatible with ARC (not compatible with eARC), the ARC function works regardless of this setting.
[On]: Enables the eARC function. The eARC function works when connecting a TV compatible with eARC.
[Off]: Disables the eARC function.
Note
- When [eARC] is set to [On], make sure of the eARC setting of the connected TV. For details, refer to the operating instructions of the TV.
Hint
- The speaker system is compatible with eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel). eARC is a new function standardized by HDMI2.1 and supports latest audio formats in addition to audio formats that are supported with existing ARC (Audio Return Channel).
You can enjoy object audio content, such as Dolby Atmos - Dolby TrueHD and DTS:X or multi-channel LPCM content that cannot be transmitted with ARC by connecting the speaker system and TV compatible with eARC using an HDMI cable.
For the connection, see “Connecting a TV Compatible with ARC/eARC .”

Note
- Depending on the TV, the TV setting for HDMI output may be required. Refer to the operating instructions of the TV.
