Connecting An Audio System - Sony X85K Getting Started

This TV supports Audio Return Channel (ARC) or Enhanced Audio Return Channel
(eARC). You can use an HDMI cable to output audio from audio systems that support
ARC and eARC.
On TVs that support eARC, you can output (pass-through) audio signals from external
input devices connected to the TV to eARC supported audio systems by using the HDMI
terminal bearing the text "eARC/ARC".
For connection methods, refer to the Connecting an audio system page.
Note
The location of the HDMI terminal that supports eARC/ARC varies depending on the
model. Refer to the included Setup Guide.
