ARC connector on TV - what is it?
Audio return channel is one of the most useful things after HDMI output.
It makes it possible to transmit sound from your TV to other devices using just one wire. This could be a stereo system or receiver. When using a TV with the Smart TV function, it becomes especially convenient, since such models of TV receivers are themselves sources of audio signals. And since all TV models have standard acoustics of rather low quality, the ACR function can eliminate the need to listen to poor quality sound.
Features and Benefits
Due to the fact that this method provides signal transmission in two directions, a large number of different wires are no longer required. If all connected devices support the remote command function, then when all devices are connected to the TV, control will be carried out from one remote control. This is especially useful if you need to connect several devices - a computer, set-top boxes, receiver, stereo system, Blue-ray player.
REFERENCE. It is worth adding that the sound transmitted through the cable will be significantly higher than when choosing conventional wires.
The main advantage of choosing an ARC connector is the reduction in the total number of wires. After all, a large number of different cables can cause a lot of inconvenience and also spoil the appearance of the room.
It is also worth noting the ease of connection. To do this, you just need to connect the two devices using an HDMI cable. The need for further configuration will depend on the specific device, as this usually occurs automatically. If automatic connection does not occur, then you should check:
- Whether Control of HDMI is active.
- Input Mode is set to “Auto”.
- Devices support this function.
As a rule, all modern models of digital devices support this function, which means you can easily get rid of unnecessary wires and ensure a good audio signal level.
What is especially shocking is: “that the sound transmitted through the cable will be significantly higher than when choosing conventional wires.” Now, thanks to the author, it becomes clear to anyone that this is either arc or acr for obtaining ultrasound! Thanks to the author!
The goat understands that the quality is higher!!!
Higher quality of what? Compared to what? And on what connector? ACR or ARC. The author has one or the other.
Understood nothing. Which cable to connect, which devices, how to control the connection to other devices?
Where can I get it? Where? For what?!?!??! Whaaaaack?
ARC connector for pairing devices via video and audio channels. Here's the full description!
Before this article, I understood something. Why does the sound become higher, Why point where?! Isn't it possible to write HDMI ARC. The connector is not called ARC, but still, first of all, it is HDMI
So it seems clear)
Just “what are its advantages and disadvantages”
What are the disadvantages?
Those who have ACR are probably unlucky?
That's right - it's an HDMI connector with video output (not input) and two channels of audio output (not input)
Are you talking about ACR or ARC?
The photo shows ARC HDMI, that's what we're talking about. HDMI connectors are usually input, and ARC HDMI are output for Video-4K, and for audio there is also a high bitrate, which has different values on different TVs, depending on the Dolby system used in this TV!
The commentary only refers to TVs with 4K video resolution.
It's not about the photo, it's about the text. And in the text, if you read it, there are both ACR and ARC.
ACR is a high bitrate sound system, which is equipped with an equalizer and Dolby system, built into a modern TV with 4K video format, possibly 8K!
I would like to add that the ACR system allows you to use the TV remote control to configure both the speakers built into the TV to get better sound quality or more complete output, and you can also use the remote control to configure additional speakers connected via an ARC HDMI cable in pseudo-quadra sound format, adjusting the equalizer! Using a set-top box (sold separately), the system can be expanded to 5+1 or 7+1, that is, use all channels, each of which can be adjusted from the TV remote control!
So what is the article about? About ACR or ARC?
It’s not clear at all HOW and to what what should be connected. One theory. Is it really difficult to draw a simple diagram: this is here, this is here? And there would be no need to pour so much useless water.
I understood more from the comments than from the article
Victor! Well, what are you talking about?!
I tried for almost a month to connect the phone to the TV, tried 5 modern phones. I did everything according to the instructions on the Internet. Useless. There's something they don't say. It may be rare that devices support this feature.
Most likely the problem is with your TV.
And which phone goes to which TV? Not Nikia 3310 for KVN49?
Author, you will first decide on arc or acr.
