When using an ARC-compatible TV that
supports Dolby Atmos audio output
The receiver can receive Dolby Atmos signals sent from a TV
or other connected devices. Since Dolby Atmos signals from
the TV are sent in Dolby Digital Plus format, ARC (Audio
Return Channel)-compatible HDMI jacks must be connected
using an HDMI cable instead of an optical digital cable.
Normally, it would be necessary to turn on the Control for
HDMI function for both receiver and TV in order to use the
ARC. In this case, however, the link function between the
receiver, TV and other devices is also activated. Therefore, in
order to facilitate the operation of the controller in a custom
installation (where the entire system is controlled via the
controller), this receiver is designed to activate the ARC
function separately, even if the Control for HDMI function is
turned off.
As a result, Dolby Atmos-compatible content sent from the
TV can be played back through an ARC-compatible HDMI
jack, without the need to activate the link function using the
Control for HDMI function.
Since the ARC function can still be used as before, Dolby
Atmos-compatible content can be played back in high
quality, even if the Control for HDMI function for the TV or
connected devices is turned on.
If you use a TV compatible with Dolby Digital Plus output,
perform the following settings on the receiver in order to
play back Dolby Atmos-compatible content sent from the TV.
1
Turn on the Control for HDMI function on the TV.
The ARC output from the TV will be enabled.
2
Set the Dolby Digital Plus output of the TV to
enable it.
For details, refer to the operating instructions of the TV.
3
Select [Setup] – [HDMI Setup] – [Audio Return
Channel] – [ARC] on the receiver.
ARC signals from the TV can now be received.
4
Select [Setup] – [Input Setup] – [Input Mode] –
[Auto] on the receiver.
5
Press HDMI OUT to select [HDMI OUT A].
6
Turn off the Control for HDMI function for all
devices connected to the receiver except the TV.
7
Turn off any settings for the operation of other
devices on the TV's remote control.
8
Switch the input of the receiver to [TV].
When using an eARC-compatible TV that
supports Dolby Atmos and DTS:X audio output
The receiver can receive Dolby Atmos and DTS:X signals sent
from a TV or other connected devices. When you connect an
eARC-compatible TV to the receiver, in addition to the audio
formats already supported by conventional ARC, you can
also enjoy object-based audio formats such as Dolby Atmos
- Dolby TrueHD and DTS:X as well as Multi Channel Linear
PCM, which cannot be transmitted by ARC.
If you use a TV compatible with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X
output, perform the following settings on the receiver in
order to play back Dolby Atmos and DTS:X-compatible
content sent from the TV.
1
Turn on the eARC function on the TV.
The eARC output from the TV will be enabled.
2
Set the Dolby Atmos and DTS:X output of the TV
to enable it.
For details, refer to the operating instructions of the TV.
3
Select [Setup] – [HDMI Setup] – [Audio Return
Channel] – [eARC] on the receiver.
eARC signals from the TV can now be received.
4
Select [Setup] – [Input Setup] – [Input Mode] –
[Auto] on the receiver.
5
Press HDMI OUT to select [HDMI OUT A].
6
Turn off any settings for the operation of other
devices on the TV's remote control.
7
Switch the input of the receiver to [TV].
Note
• If your TV has a similar menu for eARC, also check the relevant
settings on the TV when you select [eARC] for [Audio Return
Channel] on the receiver. For details, refer to the operating
instructions of the TV.
