Audio Return Channel (Arc); Hdmi Signal Compatibility - Yamaha RX-V381 Owner's Manual

Audio Return Channel (ARC)

ARC allows you to input TV audio to the unit with the HDMI cable which transmits video
signal to the TV.
Check the following after the HDMI Control settings.
1
Select a TV program with the TV remote control.
2
Check that the input source of the unit will be automatically
switched to "AV 2" and the TV audio will be played back on the
unit.
If you cannot hear the TV audio, check the following:
▪ "ARC" (p.58) in the "Setup" menu is set to "On".
▪ The HDMI cable is connected to the ARC-compatible HDMI jack (HDMI
jack marked "ARC") on the TV.
Some HDMI jack on the TV is not compatible with ARC. For details, refer
to the instruction manual for the TV.
Note
▪ If the audio is interrupted while using ARC, set "ARC" (p.58) in the "Setup" menu to "Off" and use a digital
optical cable to input TV audio to the unit (p.19).
▪ When using ARC, connect a TV with an HDMI cable that supports ARC.
▪ "AV 2" is set as TV audio input at the factory. If you have connected any external device to the AV 2 jacks,
use "TV Audio Input" (p.57) in the "Setup" menu to change the TV audio input assignment. To use the
SCENE function (p.31), you also need to change the input assignment for SCENE (TV).
