4.8.5 Testing HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC)
You can test the HDMI 1.4 Audio Return Channel using the 780B. The selected audio is output from the 780B's
HDMI IN connector in this case. The HDMI IN connector emulates an ARC Tx device to test the ARC Rx
function on an A/V Receiver that supports the Audio Return Channel.
Note: The 780B does not support the CEC commands necessary to activate the ARC Rx function in the
connected A/V receiver. Therefore you will have to have some other method of activating this ARC function in
the A/V receiver under test.
1. Make the cable connection between the 780B HDMI IN connector and the A/V receiver's HDMI 1.4 capable
output connector.
The following illustration depicts the test setups for the HDMI audio return channel.
