Followed these instructions and it worked! Sound via ARC connection, awesome! Then I switched inputs to stream a movie, and it no longer worked and it has never worked again, no matter how many different ways I try. Totally frustrated, have a great surround home theatre system and have to listen to TV speakers! I should mention that I also have the Fire TV cube with Alexa voice control set up and wonder if this is conflicting? If anyone can chime in with any ideas, I'd appreciate it.
UPDATE: Solution, you must turn on HDMI control on the receiver settings menu and HDMI control on the TV settings menu as well, then you must press the TV/AUDIO button on the Denon remote. Then it will automatically play TV audio through the receiver when you turn the TV on. The video did not mention anything about the TV settings. The video could have also mentioned that if you turn your TV on and the sound comes from the TV speakers, then your TV settings are incorrect, check them!
Use Toslink to connect your tv and amp. I know your comment is 3 years old, but this might help someone else!?
@@tasmedic Where do you have to connect the Toslink cable on the avr?
@@stallion63m35 Toslink is just another way of saying optical audio output. Just Google what the Toslink connection looks like. The AVR often says "optical audio," not Toslink.

We had to redo our audio setup after the tempered glass on our audio table disintegrated. Had issues getting it working on my own, but after watching this, we just ran one cable from "HDMI 3 (ARC)" on the TV over to "Monitor ARC OUT" on the Denon 1912. This video helped me get on the right path... thanks.
Hooking a Dennon receiver DRA 800 H to a Sony new 90" (can't find the model without the manual) was so difficult that Dennen could not do it and only after hours I found I had to connect a Digital Optical cable also and there is an ARC auto that needs to be turned on the Sony TV as well as another volume control for ARC called P something that is set on zero from the factory. I really can't believe that I fixed it but hooking a receiver to a modern smart TV can be very difficult when Dennon does not even mention that there are many more steps sometimes beside hooking an ARC cable to it.
So I had my whole AVR receiver setup beautifully for months without any major issues. The ARC feature worked amazingly, I had my Chromecast setup to turn on my TV and receiver with my voice. Then suddenly while plugging in a HDMI for my second PC, all the sound stopped working. I couldn't figure what the hell had happened so I reset everything. Finally the audio worked but all the ARC features were disabled. I reset again and fucked around with the HDMI ARC settings on both my TV and AVR, even going as far as actually reading the manual. Nothing worked, and then I realized the sound had gone out when I plugged in my second PC. It was the fucking HDMI slot! Anytime I plug something the AVR shits itself, it was the last HDMI in the system I hadn't filled so I guess its going to stay that way. TL;DR Check your HDMI slots, one might be busted.
It's 2020 and this still doesn't work between my various interations of TV and my Denon amp. Every time I get a firmware upgrade for my Denon, I cross my fingers and hope. So far, my Denon's Audio Return Chanel has proven incompatible with both Samsung and Sharp TV's which I've purchased. I have tried everything to get this to work. New HDMI cables, just about every menu option on both pieces of equipment. They just won't talk to each other. Thank heavens for optical links!
The Power supply in my Denon blew up recently. After being quoted silly money to even get this shipped and looked at, never mind worked on, I took it apart and was horrified to see how poorly it was designed, with ribbon cables running over AC power cables, etc. The fault turned out to be two blown diodes in the power supply, which would not have happened had MOV's been put in the right place to protect them. That's basic design, not implemented to reduce costs.
Generic chinese electrolytic capacitors in a $2000 amp..... WTF?!
Denon is becoming expensive, badly made crap.
Even the chap making the video above didn't take the time to remove the pops and crackles after he recorded each sentence. Then the rustling of the papers at the end. It's not a good reflection on what is supposed to be a premium audio brand.
You can add LG OLED GX TVs to the list as well. I can't get my TV to route audio through the receiver no matter what I do.
Trying to reconnect my deceased father system in my home and I’m evidently one step short of perfection. Help!
I have a Samsung Q70 series TV and finally managed to get everything working correctly with my AVRX3300W receiver. A combination of settings in the video above and TV settings mean it now switches between tv audio and receiver correctly. I had to ensure the AVR was set as preferred audio device on the TV
Also make sure that you don't have TV/VIDEO hidden as an input in settings or ARC will not work. That was my issue.
Thank you so much! After hours of trial and error with the Denon documentation enabling "TV Audio" in the input setting finally got me sound through my receiver via ARC. I had audio receiver control via the TV remote but no sound. None of the official Denon videos or documentation mentioned enabling the "TV Audio" source, they just assumed it was enabled. This is what happens when marketing/pr people write/record documentation/videos without consulting the engineers. Clearly they have no idea how their own hardware works. Gotta rely on CZcams for the answer. God Bless The Internet!!
@@gigadude420 After 6 hours troubleshooting this, I found your post within 30 seconds I had ARC working, Man I wish I saw your post last night !
Wow thanks man!
Thanks a lot! :)
Me too, changing tv audio as not hidden worked! Thanks!
I've tested ARC return and HDMI control since 2013, still today in 2018 it's hit and miss. This tech is not good and still not mature for using, this is in my experience. I have a Samsung 8005 and a Denon X4200w receiver, this works when the amp feels like, same with Spotify integration in the amp, really bad stuff. At least Spotiy works with my TV, but then again ARC return works sometimes. I bought a dedicated streaming box, at least this works.
Audio company has poor audio on their video. C'mon Denon, yall didn't even try here.
I think they've completely lost interest in making a premium product. It's now all about reducing costs by using cheap components, while still charging a premium price.
The bottom line appears to be that HDMI ARC is not a dependable way to transmit audio from your smart TV to your AV receiver. My new Samsung Q6DR is a marvelous device with stellar smart TV features. But its two options for audio out are optical cable and HDMI ARC. Optical cable delivers excellent clear sound to my non-ARC Denon 4806, but with that connection the TV remote control cannot control volume. Consequently, I'm using my DISH remote (programmed to the receiver) for volume control. I'm only interested in HDMI ARC if I can be confident that it will in fact allow volume control by the TV remote and if (big "if") it will do this dependably. A universal remote is another option, but I prefer the simplicity and predictability of the Samsung and DISH remote controls.
True, Each manufacturer and even within models have often different ARC firmware. I had to buy 2 different Denon AVRs to get one that worked with my Bravia 900. The second one did, the 1100 did not
@@jamesf7867hi.So I understand from this....even if we have ARC connection it my be the chance to not work sound without optical?This is my case now.Did all gut on settings ....only without optical....no sound.It is that possibile my Samsung compatibility problems?
Yes it can happen that the ARC connection between your Samsung and the Denon are incompatible and won’t transmit sound via ARC only. If you have another TV with ARC you can test it to see if it works with that one.
Still having issues getting ARC to work with denon 730h and samsung q8fn....the tv displays receiver as output, denon is set to tv audio....no sound coming through. please help!
Yesssssss, after hours, you helped me A LOT! THANK YOU!
the only video that helped. Thank you
I use ARC on my Roku TV and a Yamaha Receiver and that setup works fine. I didn't like the sound quality of the Yamaha though. That's why I want to switch to a Denon AVR-S910W. I got sound from TV out to Denon receiver. However, the sound keeps going out and in every few seconds. It goes out very briefly but very annoying. All the cable connections are fine. What could be the problem?
Fantastic! Thank you so much. Does anyone have an idea hy my amp is defaulting to stereo and not Dolby or 5.1? Very strange. Thanks.
I had to arc hdmi plugged in worked fine but wouldn’t get any noise from Netflix, I plugged in the optic cable to the tv and got sound im not sure if it’s the AVR or if optics is needed to be plugged in. I thought I could get all the sound just from the hdmi arc
I have an optical cable from my tv connected to the optical in port on my Denon X2800h but the AVR is not producing any audio from the surround speakers. The system works fine when I am playing my blue-ray player......
Hi there i have connected everything as it should but on the HDMI Control we don't see the ARC option, our denon model is Denon AVR-X6200W
Brand new TV, all streaming. no DVD (I also don't have a phonograph or VHS either). hooked up to the ARC on the TV, went through set up, only gave the optical/coax option, went through this, still don't see ARC as an output option for the TV. Sound output with optical was fine, but no ARC sound output with TV. I got this receiver because of ARC compatibility and the integration is worse than the 20 year old Sony receiver that I replaced.
Best sound ever
"Select tv station" please elaborate! I'm using eArce xbox/pc to TV and then out the eArc port of tv to receiver. Using HDMI 2.1 wires on all connections, lg CX TV (latest updates), in Denon (latest firmware), I have hdmi control enabled, eArc enabled on TV with passthrough audio no delay. I don't hear any sound. What source do I pick?
Same problem, did you figure it out ?
@@TheCoolDave I played around with settings on TV xbox and receiver and finally got it all working together. I'm not exactly sure which was the key, but the Receiver won't have sound if it is set to direct sound, which it kept trying to default to, other sound stages work. Atmos has some audio delay that may be receiver issue though. Too bad uTube doesn't allow picture posts otherwise I'd throw mine up.
I have the same problem, all the new TVs with eArc are not backwards compatible with Arc. You need to have a newer Denon with eArc and or hdmi 2.1 chipset.
What Im going to try is setup the TV as an non Arc hdmi output source, and use the optical cables for sound so that sound is transferred from the TV back to the AVR.

When i go into video, my menu is completely different to the one mentioned. I doubt i will get any support from denon but can you explain why i'm missing the options you have shown.
The SMART Tv Menu is turned on Under Set Up Menu (Video) on your AVR Menu This will give you the Smart Menu instead of the one he's using i guess its like a short cut
Did everything in this video, still can't get my Sony XBR-75X850F to play thru my Denon AVR-X3300W. So when im streaming apps I can only hear thru the TV speakers. Looks like I'm going to have to use a Digital optical cable.
@@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix Make sure on the tv not the denon that arc is setup up as the audio output from the tv. There shouldn't be any sound coming through the tv speakers when setup up correctly. Also see if your tv has a HDMI-CEC setting and turn that on as well, that could also possibly help. Lastly make sure the cable is high speed capable, the cable can be a problem if its not correct.
@@xMrSilver99x I got it figured out. Thanks for the reply. It was my surround setting.
@@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix im having the same issue when using apps on tv(Netflix/YT) sound comes out of the tv
Hi.On my DENON AVRX2300W I have no sound without optical cab 1:46 le.I have HDMI(ARC)installed and playd arround with settings one day.I did not manage to get sound from TV without optical cable.It is possibile to work only with HDMI ARC connection?without optical?Thank you.
Try using a new hdmi cable if all these settings are on
No sound is coming out. If I switch tv audio from hdmi to digital I hear a split second sound from the tv audio going through the receiver and then it disappears again
I want to be able to monitor the PC screen and use my tuner at the same time but the PC screen goes off when I change input to tuner, is their a way to view the PC screen and listen to an alternative input like my record player while am computing?
I have an LG OLED B6 and an AVR-X4300H. Everything is setup correctly, and the volume goes up/down on the reciever, but NO sound is coming out of the receiver
I have the exact same setup as you, experiencing the precise same problem. No sound :/
I have the same X4300H. The fix ended up being you need to plug the HDMI cable into the TV HDMI port labeled (ARC). For my Samsung Q8C it ended up being HDMI 2 not 1
Try to reset the receiver
Also make sure that you don't have TV/VIDEO hidden as an input in settings or ARC will not work. That was my issue.
@@waldbjoern Go on you tv setting menu and activate the HDMI its probably on Internal tv Speakers setting
I have a brand new Sont Bravia (VU31) and the receiver refuses to work with it. I didn't have a problem with my old Samsung. Sometimes it works, sometime it doesn't. I even replaced the HDMI cable and I have the same issue with Arc. If I turn the receiver on and off, sometimes it will work but most times it doesn't. I can't figure this one out.
My pc, ps and tv-box on Denon AVR 2311 worked fine on ARC with my old LGs HDMI(dvi). But with my new TLC C81 QLED tv my pc doesnt work anymore. The rest works however. Advices?
It worked! Thank you!!😊
I have a 2019 Samsung Smart TV, Denon AVR S700W and an Xfinity cable box. How do you setup when using the TV source (an app on the TV) is selected, the sound comes out of the av system? I do have HDMI from TV to AVR plugged into HDMI (ARC) It seems the sound still comes from the cable box, when using a TV app or one of the Samsung channels.
Thanks bruh
Big help. Thanks
Hello i have a Denon receiver but my optical port is messed up so I am trying to use HDMI port but so far nothing is working any help would be really appreciated i can't get any sound?
Only thing I would add is to make sure you have a High Speed HDMI cable. 1.4 and above, I've used a few 1.3s and they didn't send it through
maybe you can help me, best buy squad can't. I gave up directv, no cable. I have air tv and can not get a picture to come trough to my tv. I have hooked the antenna up to the back of the denon, but nothing. And just so you know, I have a Blu-ray player and a recorder hooked up and I can get a picture to come from them, just not my air tv. Thanks for any help, having been tring to figure this out for awhile and just ordered another surround system for the up stairs tv. Don't even want to open the box if its not going to work with air tv.
great. my 9.1 Atmos system gets beautiful 2.1 stereo. Thanks a lump.
Thank you very much. Very helpful video
Hey again, i have a denon 2300w receiver and a panasonic 820 4k player and a samsung 900b. What is the best way to connect all three to get lossless audio through my speakers and 4k to my tv, i know the 820 has two hdmi outputs one is audio and one is video , would i connect hdmi audio out to receiver and the hdmi video out straight to tv or would i use the passthough on the receiver with one hdmi cable to receiver, or is there another way. Any help would be great. Thanks again...Phil
Hello Does anybody know why my Denon x2400h avr won't come on when I turn on my cable box?
Cable to AVR in and monitor out to TV arc HDMI. Everything turns off. When I turn on cable box, that turns on the TV but not the AVR then TV goes into default TV speaker and not HDMI AVR speakers. Is this normal or do I need an after market universal remote to turn the all on? It's pretty frustrating. Thank you in advance
Did you figure this out?
I was having the same issue. Tv remote just turns on the tv and the avr remote just turns on the avr. I've tried changing CEC settings, universal control setups and all but it's still a non starter.
For context I have an LG TV but seems like this is happening across many brands
Thanks!
Should there be an ARC on the stereo?
It worked for me! Thank you!
ok so how to use tv and projector on denon (changin when I want)? there's no video
hi. i just bought the denon avr-s950h receiver 7.2 channel 2019. i bought it new from best buy. when turning the receiver on or off, it sounds loud like the amp has 1,500 watts, or a super loud click. works fine. ever heard this from denon or others. should i be worried if this was you. $500 door stop.
So weird but what worked for me was disconnecting the HDMI from the amp then reconnecting it when it was all on.
My question is how can I remove setup on my denon amplifier when output is not working
Different problem here. 3050i cinema pack but sound only through 2 front speakers. Woofer doesnt work and rears dont either. How do i get sound through all channels?
Hello! I have an AVR-1613 and an LG UHD. The connection worked but the comes jumping. What could be happening? Could it be the cable quality?
I have my Xbox connected to my tv. I’m using arc to get sound to my receiver. It works but I get huge audio sync issues. Only when I use Dolby Atmos but if I change the Xbox to dts/Dolby or stereo the issue goes away. Kinda stupid since the tv is marketed as Atmos and dts x earc support
Hello i have a Denon AVR-X1100W receiver,when i start my start my receiver i always have to chose and push manual the source where the HDMI cable is inserted...(like CBL/SAT button) is there a solution for that problem?
Did you get a reply as I have the same problem
There should be a setting, I forgot where, maybe in the video section, where u can select the stand by input
denon avr-x2700h only works in multi channel stero
How do I get the OSD / GUI working over live TV, with ARC for Audio Return?
More to a point should, (Or, does), this even work? Funny thing is I would have sworn that it had worked that way before. But, I can not seem to get it to work.
While I'm on this topic. Will the OSD / GUI enven work @ 4K Enhanced 4.2.2 / 4.4.4 @ 2160p? Cause I'm able to output my nVidia Shield TV Pro to output a 4.2.2 10-bit signal just fine otherwise. But, pressing the Setup Menu, causes my TV to report having no signal with a 4 Minute timer to shutdown. Which makes playing the Radio, Internet Radio pretty much a bust.
Can someone tell me why the sound on my TV is not as loud as on a HDMI device? as exampel when i play a video from CZcams on my computer via HDMI connection and the reciever is on 60 volume its very loud but wen i play the same video over the TV via the smart TV CZcams app its very quiet i must turn up over 80 volume to have the same loudness?
Thnx alot🎉❤
I have a Denon AVR X1500H that i recently upgraded from a Yamaha receiver, and is connected to a Samsung QLED TV Q70R (2019 model) and the HDMI cables (High Speed label) are hooked up on the correct ports in both devices, however after several times attempting the setup and save configuration, when I turn on the receiver, the TV only has audio but not video and i have to use the Cox Contour remote to turn off and turn on the tv in order to get video. Also when i tried to change the receiver setting for 4K i have a message saying that the TV is not configured for 4K 4:4:4 ...HDCP ...etc..... I would like to use the AVR Remote only to turn on both devices.. Any help???
does denon avr 390 have arc ?
i need denon avr 1801 remote in apple mobile plz tell me what can i do

Can I connect my PlayStation 4 Through this. I can disable HDCP on PS4. What are the benefits of owning this with regards to Consoles, as I got a Denon AVR 1909 gave to me?
I have an AVR 1910 without ARC input and a LG 55 TV with ARC output. I can not make the sound of the TV come out through the device. Can somebody help me. By the optical input it works. Thanks!
Hi Joaquin, better later than never.....did you manage the issue? I guess the AVR 1910 has ARC HDMI output....called monitor or something at the back of the AVR. I have the AVR 1911 and I need allow the HDMI control, also what you need to do is to set Input mode to ARC in the menu of the AVR.
It seems to me like we’re connecting 2 outputs together in this video
That's how ARC works. It's an "Audio Return Channel," so it talks back and forth on this channel (It's not just one direction).
I understand how it works I just did not know you were connecting an output to an output. I thought the return channel goes to an input on the receiver.
Is AVR1610 ARC compatible?
I have a denon avr 1906 but no hdmi, how can i connect it to my tv so i can do some real settings?
I've got sound but only stereo and no sound from my center speaker or subwoofer
make sure you have cinema sound on and not tv stereo
While my audio for the TV channels comes through my receiver. when I switch to streaming a Netflix show, I don't get that audio. It still plays the TV stations I was last watching?
I have the same problem, anyone have any advice?
same thing for me any no apps or media will play through the AVR.. Says no audio input.. Always got to be something.
Ditto
Same here. Its driving me.nuts because everything was fine until I got the newest x1 cable box from Xfinity. I dont always want the tv going through the reciever. Had the option before.
i do exactly like the video on my samsung 4k tv ku6000 and not working! any solution?

To help you guys, this video sucks, not enough information. TO GET THINGS DONE:
1. Make sure your TV AND ARV Support ARC
2. Make sure you turn on tv control (lg,samsung, etc may have different name)
3. Make sure you turn on hdmi control on your arv (denon etc)
4. MAKE SURE THAT YOU USE HIGH SPEED CABLE
Thats it, feel free to ask and give more information
Sorry for my bad english 😅
ARC worked with my TV for many years, then it stopped working...
I have a LG 4K smart tv and my denon won’t let the LG use the tv remote for the volume I put hdmi control on and went thru my tv settings and still nothing

How can I get my system to play Amazon and Netflix movie from the TV WiFi ? Has for now I have theater sound only when I go through my DVR player to watch movies. I know the systems not hooked up to the Wi-Fi but I don't think that should matter. Movie will play with no sound.
Thanks
I have a sony AG9 and Denon X2600H. This setting really works fine specially auto switching but I have a question.
when I select HOME in my remote control to go to android tv, the sound is stereo. Is there any way to change to multi channel when the source is TV audio?
even, when my tv is showing android tv; I can't see the denon interface in bypass video.
All I’m getting is stereo on cable, no centre speaker on Netflix and everything working on Amazon, anyone got any ideas ?
Change output on TV from PCM to Bitstream in your TV settings.
Hahaha. Ohhhh I had to TURN IT ON!!!!! GGRRrr
Does not work for my Denono
Does the Denon avr 3806 have the capability of hdmi arc?
No, nor does the 4806.
I don't recommend Denon receiver avr-x2500h
I have Denon X2100W and LG TV 55LA660V. I did everything like in the video, but CEC still isn't working.
The fix ended up being you need to plug the HDMI cable into the TV HDMI port labeled (ARC). For my Samsung Q8C it ended up being HDMI 2 not 1
Street Guardian USA tried running it through the ARC HDMI port and still no sound.
But the auto speaker setup worked just fine
yes I've ARC from TV to ARC on receiver connected - they both power off at same time and video is perfect - but like others no sound - Sammy TV shows: 'receiver' no longer tv speakers which is spot on. I changed output to all that's available at TV such as PCM, Dolby and DTS, nothing. what do you indicate when you say "For my Samsung Q8C it ended up being HDMI 2 not 1 " what exactly is going into HDMI 2. I've already run the ARC to ARC from TV to receiver. This is to use APPS off the TV to the receiver - there's no need for linking to yet another HDMI when the one source is connected to ARC directly. Also Denon stated use the TV Audio button..I do but no source changes on the receiver screen as with others such as CD, DVD, CABL/SAT etc. tried multiple HDMI cords - all new, zip. only the video works on ARC with TV apps. - thank you
did not work with Panasonic.Works only once somehow.ARC on Denon is pure rubbish setting.....
It's such nonsense that these companies leave the ARC in the 'OFF' position. Very frustrating and unnecessary. Video triggered my memory in 15secs and it's off to the races. Thanks
WTF is 'haitch'DMI??
I've gone through all. Settings on my AVRX2700H, on my TV and bluray player connected to it. My screen still goes black intermittently! Frustrated with this product! Waste of hard earned money!
or stop using the TV as an audio middle man...
Only way to get good quality 4K from Netflix and CZcams is via the TV apps. You have no choice.
AtlasRedux what do you do for audio then?
sound bad
Arc is horrible , Denon should be more helpful. It worked and then it didn’t. Unreliable.
The most useless piece of hardware I ever bought in my entire life. Stay away.
