How To Use HDMI ARC Port on LG Smart TVs 

Glad it helped my friend

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you

I have the same problem, did you get it to work?

Exact same issue here

@@aracelyrivera4215 I managed to fix mine by adding an audio optical cable connection from the speaker to tv - while keeping hdmi cable plugged in for the arc. I’ve not heard anyone else advise this as a solution but the optical cable genuinely solved the muting issue for me. If your speaker has an optical port, give it a go

Yes you need to activate SIMPLINK. It is the option directly underneath optical/arc in the sound out menu.

Thanks

Glad you enjoyed it!

@@DominicGichane so how do I get Dolby atmos from the tv to the receiver …?? why have arc if It can’t support atmos. defeats the purpose of getting a LG.

@@marcelpenigo8036 Get an LG TV with eARC

@@DominicGichane okay....do you know of a good hdmi extender that supports eARC

@@DominicGichane So the Enhanced ARC connection will carry Dolby Atmos?

Thanks

Thanks

Glad to help

You're welcome

The same with my system!

Nevermind. Just found out what is it for. Nothing to do with Audio Return Channel. It's for selecting the size of the main screen. I guess that makes more sense.

That's exactly what it does across many models

@@DominicGichane Thanks for the reply. I do have another question, not sure if you know anything about the LG PF1500 projector, but it's worth a shot to ask. I have the Korean model, the LG PF1500 KR to be exact. I was never able to change to country code or service country on this thing. Went into the service manual and the country code is "01" and cannot be changed. Tried everything, including upgrading the firmware, the current firmware is quite old. The final and latest firmware on this model is 03.00.17. My machine still has 03.00.09. Still, every time I check for updates, it tells me that it is up to date. Then I tried to USB update. It does not automatically read the 'epk' file. I followed all of the instructions. I tried to install the 03.00.10 before the 17, still, it would even take the 10. Contacted LG support and they were of no help. Just kept telling me to do a hard reset, which doesn't seem to do much. I know it can be changed or at least the firmware and WebOS can be updated, I saw a Koren youtube video with a guy (looks to be a Korean service center) talking about it in Korean (I don't speak Korean) and he turns the machine on (PF 1500 KR) and it has the new firmware and WebOS. If you have any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.

same problem for me. When I connect with my LG UQ7550 tv with sony home theatre dav tz 145 with 2.1 HDMI ARC Cable and also I tried in TV Settings it does not worked for me. I am not getting the output sound any idea?

I’d love to know this also, I have an old Denon 2113 AVR (with an arc HDMI port) I cannot seem to get it working with the LG CX at all :(

@@jigglyjermaine so arc doesn't work?

Any HDMI cable will work with ARC. For eARC use Ultra High-Speed HDMI cables with Ethernet

Traducción: cualquier cable HDMI funciona, solo si usas eArc ocupas uno de alta definición con ethernet 👍🏻

@@pablovaldez5550oye una pregunta hace poco compre la barra de sonido LG SC9, tengo la TV LG C2 y veo que el cable HDMI dice high speed lo conecto al puerto eARC del TV y el otro ala barra igual eARC pero cuando pongo la salida de audio para eARC se me mutea la tele.? Creo que el cable que viene con la barra de sonido es el problema? 🙏🏻

@@ltrxhxrdl4111 si los cables que vienen a veces no están muy buenos. Te recomiendo que agarres dos iguales de la misma marca y asegúrate que sean Ultra High speed HDMI 2.1 certificado, también asegúrate en configuración de tu TV, que la función eArc esté prendida.

@@ltrxhxrdl4111 por donde ves contenido?

For me also the same. After updating firmware of tv, hdmi connectivity to sound bar not working

For me, arc first worked, after i update firmware of tv, it didn't work also even if i connected sound bar with tv using other more like aux, it again goes to internal tv speaker mode. So bad

Exactly Ive got the same problem!!! Mayb our hdmi cable is not right??? Do you fix the problem?

I also have a Sony 5.1 system! I tried everything but when i connect with arc i see a mute icon on the screen when i try to change the volume! And indeed the optical cable does work but i wanna know if the hdmi connection is better???

@@kennethmanuputty9865 yes, I've have observed that 1 out of 3 times the home system does not work. So all I have to do is shut the entire system off and turn it on again for it to work. You have to let the speaker boot up completely (it takes a little time). It takes 3 blinks before it's ready to use. Now all you have to do is choose the TV output option as HDMI. Wait for like a minute or so and you're good to go.

@@kennethmanuputty9865 HDMI will give you the best output from your system. It's worth the switch.

@@amanpandey7035 thnx... Are you talking about HDMI is working? And do you mean you've made the TV Remote controller your main controller (to sync with your dolby surround set)? My Sony Dolby Surround set: SONY BDV-N7200

Sometimes HDMI CEC and ARC doesn't work across different brands. Ideally it should work

optical and HDMI arc are two different things. So, the answer is that it won't work.

That's good stuff. Optical is good enough for Dolby Digital. Just doesn't support Dolby Atmos or DTS X.

Wait a minute

Did you mean simplink
