Audio Return Channel
The HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC) enables you to play the
audio from the chartplotter over the stereo system speakers and
play HDMI audio on the chartplotter using only one HDMI cable.
ARC eliminates the need to connect a separate audio cable
from the chartplotter to the stereo. Typically, in systems without
ARC, to play the audio from the chartplotter over the stereo
system speakers, you would need a separate cable.
The HDMI version 1.4 cables support ARC. When planning your
stereo installation, you should check whether your devices
support ARC. Most devices that support ARC have an ARC
label on the HDMI connector that supports ARC.
NOTE: The FUSION MS-AV750 stereo supports ARC. You
should update the stereo to use ARC with the chartplotter.
