What is ARC?
ARC is an abbreviation of Audio Return Channel, also
known as HDMI ARC. It refers to one of the HDMI
functions. When you connect the unit to the terminal
labeled “HDMI (ARC)”, the optical digital audio cable that
is usually required in order to listen to sound from a TV is
no longer required, and TV pictures and sound can be
enjoyed with a single HDMI cable.
