Enabling ARC
With ARC enabled, the TV can act as the HDMI source and send audio “upstream” to the AVR
or speakers connected to the GHSW8242. Press the ARC button on the front panel of the
GHSW8242 to enable or disable ARC.
Note:
The HDMI output port 1 is also the ARC input port, depending on whether the ARC feature is
enabled or disabled. See ARC Commands, page 18 for more information.
In the following diagram, audio from the TV goes to the GHSW8242 through the ARC Input
port, and is then passed on to the AVR via the analog or digital outputs; RCA, optical or coaxial
audio connectors.
Note:
1. The scenario above works only if the TV supports HDMI and has ARC enabled.
2. The ARC LED (blue) lights up to indicate that the ARC function is enabled. There
will be no audio output if your HDTV does not support ARC function or if the ARC
function is not enabled
