How To Turn On HDMI ARC AND E-ARC On Samsung TV

This video shows how to turn on the arc function on samsung smart tvs

[video_head]

I had everything wired correctly and turned this to Auto on my TV. I couldn't figure out why it didn't work until I also turned it on my receiver. My receiver had a On Screen menu with Setup. There I had to turn on ARC too. Now everything works great. If you can't figure it out, you should go to your receiver setup menu because both TV and Receiver needs to have this ARC turned on

Love your videos. I have my receiver and tv set up perfectly! The only thing I want to change is that I 'd like to power the tv ON but without auto powering the receiver on as well. (Lots of instances that I just want the tv on for background light / noise / audio while I'm just reading or what not. )

Very simple . The only video that I could follow all the way . Unfortunate the sound bar isn’t speaking .. however I was able to follow your instructions .. that s an accomplishment fir me

I echo most of the comments. Thank you, Simple solution but such a critical nuance. I though my sound bar was no good... LOL
Thanks again!

Please can you help? Very helpful video I’ve found the setting for eARK ( it’s greyed out) but when I click on it it says not available, it’s a brand new AU8000 TV and a Samsung HW-J6000 Curved sound bar with eARK HDMI on it, Thanking you in advance 🙏🏼

Hello, I see you left sound output to TV speakers. Will it play audio through the TV speakers and your sound system at the same time? Thanks.

good video, thanks for making it. i hadnt even looked at the expert settings, now i know;

Hi friend.

My speakers work through hdmi arc to a coverter to rca the volume cant be controlled via the samsung remote.

I have a samsug cu8500 with the same menu system as yours.

But when i try and control the volume output, the minus symbol flashes as if its working but volume stays the same.

I own samsung frame (2020) and a yanaha rx-v583 receiver which supports 4k hdr pass through and i can't figure out how to enable the 4kpass through cause the avr shows video out 1080p but uve enabled the 4 upscaling in the receiver please help

Thank you for the video. I’m struggling to get this working with my Yamaha rxv371 receiver. Either I have too old hdmi or wrong settings in my receiver. So I have hdmi arc out in receiver to hdmi e-arc in samsung tv (qn90), e-arc and other settings turned on in tv. In receiver hdmi arc and hdmi control are on. Then I have selected source to be AV4 which is the standard for TV audio, but somehow I still think that the source in my receiver is wrong. How are your receiver settings?

Have a samsung au9000. No surround sound from apps using hdmi. External inputs like sky work fine. Any ideas?

The H DMI arc function is not there in my settings but it shows that I have an E arc port on the back of my Q series TV I turned on the any connect option and option and still it does not show up

[herbertpatterson]

Thanks you I am back up and sounding off😊

[mpsaichand]

May I please know what sound system have you connected to the tv during this video demonstration?

[Known-unknowns]

On my Samsung tv I go into Advance Settings only to find that the option to turn on arc is light grey. The other settings are brilliant white. When I click on the light grey it says ‘option not supported’. Which is odd as it has earc plug on the back of tv and the receiver? Both of which are less than 6 months old.

Hello, thank you for the video. I have a question that maybe someone can help me with. I have ARC set on my Samsung TV to auto. My receiver is an Onkyo TX-NR727. I am running Bose Acoustimass 5.1. The problem is, when watching TV, you can seldom hear a click in the receiver as if it is changing signal output, but then the voices get muffled and you only hear background music or sound effects. I go the the receiver and it changes automatically from say Dolby, to TX Movie, to Direct. I thought it was the receiver, so I swapped it out for the same one from another setup I have and it does the same thing. So I switched HDMI cables from the cable (Xfinity) box to the receiver, problem is still there. I moved the HDMI cable located in HDMI 1 from the TV to HDMI 2, same problem. Any ideas how to fix? Thank you.
