I've been trying to upgrade my living room setup which is basically an old 2018 TV, and your videos have helped me a lot in figuring out my options on how to try and make it all work together. Thanks!

Good work. Would be huge for new hisense H9G and other tvs... grab a media device and this and stick behind tv, done deal.

Nothing but quality products and top notch customer service from HDFury

Does it work with the Bose 900 Soundbar?

I ordered my HD Fury from your link and receive the 5% discount. Took about four days to arrive. Its setup took my just a few minutes. Sounds great! So glad I bought this to go with my Sonos Arc system. I made the purchase with PayPal on the website and it did look a little suspicious but it worked. Thanks for the discount!

I have been watching many reviews of Sonas Arc and associated problems. I have retired my Bose AV18 after 12 years. It all started with the purchase of a new Samsung QLED 75" TV, excellent picture for my room size. The Sonas Arc, Gen3 sub and 2 One SL makes excellent sound very happy with system. I have a EPSON 1080p projector got the HD fury and HDR HDMI Matrix 4x2 matrix (HDMX0012M1) all works seamless have projector, blueray, chromecast, sattelite TV 4k, system supports Dolby Atoms scales 1080p to 4k all works perfect. Your advice on HD fury and Sonas devices spot on.

2021 product of the year! Thx, Jonah. This item just saved man-kind from heart-ache, made my 2017 Sony 900E look just stunning when set to LLDV to HDR with this thing. Tone mapping and nit brightness really works better in DV.

If you got the Sony A7000 sound bar. You don’t need the HDFury. The sound bar has a Earc HDMI for Audio that goes the Apple TV or similar device. Then another HDMI for the TV or projector. I got the HDFury but didn’t have to use it.

Just got mine working today. Awesome! Really makes the investment in the Sonos arc worthwhile.

Jonah, just ran across this video and just placed my order. Can't wait to get it and will let you know how it worked with my new JBL 9.1 sound bar and my TCL QLED series 6 625 model that only had ARC. Thanks for the tip man! Mention it more often. lol

Good review. I was the fence about ordering this until i saw your video and placed an order for the HDFury Arcana and Vertex2 splitter so my sources can utilize the passthrough features. thank you

You just saved me a bunch of research thanks man!

I'm waiting for my Sonos Arc to arrive. This will sure help my 65" Samsung sound like a beast. Thanks for the heads up on the HDFury.

I can't belive that I have not come across this video ages ago... I got unlucky buying an ARC TV at the end of 2019 and I have been trying to output Atmos ever since... I hope this will solve it!

Very thanks to HDFury Arcana ,my Sony TV x930e does have only ARC and with this now I can connect my TV to my LG SN11rg HDMI eARC soundbar with no problems :D

Bought the Arcana to get Dolby Vision working with a Samsung QLED TV using a 2019 NVIDA Shield Pro. The Arcana converts Dolby Vision signals from LLDV (or is it LDV) sources into a compatible signal for use with non-Dolby compatible TVs. Refer to HDFury's website for additional details. Only issue is that the TV will not indicate a better signal than HDR. For example, Dolby Vision or HDR10+. This conversion will only work with LLDV sources and not regular DV sources. There are plenty of LLDV sources and LLDV is not limited to specific esoteric sources. In other words LLDV sources are quite common. For further info refer to the Arcana website.

What if I just want to use my tv and sonos arc (without an external source)...how would the connection work? I am just interested to use the app (such as Tidal) on my android tv (BRAVIA x900f) and output ATMOS to Sonos ARc

You just saved me from buying a new TV! Thanks for the great info and video.

I wanted to share my experience: - Bought Sonos Arc last week - I have an Optoma Cinemax P2 with no e-arc - thank you for this video, watched on Monday and promptly ordered the Arcana (thanks for the code) - it was supposed to arrive Friday but it got here Wednesday!!! - I also ordered the RooFull Premium 5 port HDMI switch from Amazon - I am now sitting in my couch enjoying atmos in my PS4, SHIELD and HTPC all flawlessly controlled through Logitech Harmony THANK YOU 🙏

In case you are using DIRECTIONAL Fiber optic HDMI cables - obviously the APPLE TV (for example) will be the SOURCE connection ....Both OUTPUTS of HD FURY ARCANAS will be SOURCE connection > The TV or PROJECTOR will be DISPLAY connection .... SONOS ARC will also be DISPLAY connection

The Arcana makes lip syncing/syncing in general perfect between any components and your tv/Sonos Arc?

But it says HDMI 2.0 which is 18Gbps not HDMI 2.1 which is 48Gbps, im confused

Will the arcana convert the sound from the TV (hdmi arc) into lossless Dolby atmos played through the sonos arc?

Wow you are an expert in explaining this item. Keep up the good work Bye from Sweden

How can I use this as a passthrough? I want to connect my sound bar to the HDFury, then the Fury to the TV. Which ports do I use?

Will hd fury arcana work with other soundbars?

Thanks for your video about this product. I’m still unclear if it will work in my situation and how it increases the number or HDMI ports available. I have an Apple TV, a non-ARC/eARV tv, and a Sonos ARC. My thought is that I can plug my Apple TV into one port on the device (HDMI In) and then coming out the other end HDMI Out got to the TV and eARC goes to Sonos ARC. Is that correct?

Thank you for this. My LG TV is only hdmi arc and it doesn't output DTS audio via hdmi arc. When a DTS audio is input to the TV it will output PCM 2.0 audio to arc. I need something like this for my soundbar.

Great video. I recently got a Sonos arc. Got new tv earlier this year (Samsung) that doesn’t have eArc port. I’m not very tech savvy and was wondering, do I also need to have that tvpro box as well as the arcana or can I connect the arcana directly to my tv and Sonos arc?

Hi, I have a Philips oled805 TV with only an arc port. To connect to the TV, I used Sonos Arc + 2 one SL + 1 sub. So far, the built-in Netflix TV has performed admirably. I can play Dolby Atmos without any delay. However, when I connect my PS5 to the Philips TV and use the Dolby sound option in PS5, it shows dolby 5.1 but the sound has a 0.5 s delay, which I can clearly hear. When I switched it to PCM, there is no delay, but the soundbar was operating on a stereo model, which produces only two channels of sound, and the sound was very crisp. So I'm wondering if Aracna will fix the delay issue when I use PS5? Thanks

Samsung choked at the pass after I purchased a Q80R 75" on a promise of an eArc firmware update. Samsung's retailer lied. Samsung had no intention of updating the ARC output to eArc. I had an HD Fury Vertex on a previous LG and it worked perfectly. So, I too bit the bullet (missed the 5% JONAH discount - ouch!) and placed an order. Thanks. Your video helped.

What setting did you use for the Audio Selection on the arcana? I just got mine today and I’m not sure what to select. I have a earc soundbar and a Samsung series 8500 with just Arc. Thank you,Gary

Hi, which HDMI cable are you suggesting for arcana setup??thanks

I have only Arc conectipn and DD+ is not supported on my LG OLED (EG9100). Will Dolby Atmos will still work with this?

2 big hifi stores in Sweden told me that of your tv/ projector doesnt support eArc it is IMPOSSIBLE to use eArc. So therefore I was planning to leave my arc back to the store since i have got open shop guarantee. But when I found your video review about this. I have achieved a hallelujah moment. I am wondering why the stores gave me that answere…

I dont quite understand whether this device can solve my problem. I have a smart TV with only 3 ARC ports (NO eARC), and a sonos arc soundbar with an earc input. I want losless audio from my TV to my soundbar, and I dont want any external device like a ps5 or a receiver or cd player etc. If I connect my tv's arc port to my soundbar, everything works fine and i can get the compressed version of dolby atmos from streaming services etc, but i cannot get FULLHD losless audio from my tvs internal storage to my soundbar, because my tv ofcourse only outputs through an ARC hdmi port. My question is: If i connect the ARC port of my TV to this device, and then connect the device to the earc input of my soundbar. And then play a file that has full HD losless audio from my tv's internal storage, will it output the losless audio to my soundbar? Or is this device only usable with an 'external source', like a ps5 etc?

Great video and thanks for sharing with us. I got one question: Are you able to use the TV remote to control the soundbar with your arrangement?

Hi, I recently purchased the q990b samsung soundbar and connected my apple tv tv4k to it. My tv has only an arc connection. So is it required that I purchase HDfury arcana for full capabilities of lossless sound. Samsung q990b has two hdmi inputs and one hdmi earc ourput.

So, using the splitter its only possible to have the sound with the arc? Or its possible to shutdown the arc and use the speakers of the tv without disconnect the splitter? For example stream Musik to the arc using airplay 2 from iPhone AND watching any fitness tutorial on the tv?

Download the latest firmware - resolved all issues I had. Mainly sound cutting out when swapping channels

Why would I need this? I can plug my Apple TV directly into my Atmos capable sound bar (which sends the video to the TV via ARC). Been doing this for years. What would this product add?

I recently installed a 7.2.6 Home Theater ...he had a 85 inch Samsung TV for display and the CEC (HDMI control ) was causing some major problems - such as you described - turn d off CEC and everything was working fine after that

Hi, my Samsung tv doesn’t have EArc only Arc. I have purchased the Arcana which has resolved lip sync issue with my Sonos Beam 2. Should I be getting Dolby Atmos as I only seem to receive Dolby Digital Plus 5.1? Do I need to go into the Arcana settings to change anything? Thanks

Hi mate ,love your channel - very informative thanks so much. Quick question - Do i need to buy an apple TV to use this as intended or can i use this as the " go between" my TV & Sonos soundbar?? Thanks mate again..

Thank you . Is the Arcana the only thing you can use with Sonos arc? What about the VERTEX? Is that the same thing as the Arcana?

I have a TV with 2 Ultra HD HDMI ports. Can I Connect the Arcana HDMi out cable also to my Non Ultra HD HDMi ports so that the device calculating it into 4K/HDR?

Great video ! I have a few questions if anyone here can please help answer . 1. Does the hdmi cable from sonos arc to arcana need to be 2.1 for lossless audio? 2. Does this improve TV app lip sync issues (netflix app on my LG c7)or only those on the external device plugged into the Arcana? 3. Jonah mentioned this but I wanted to make sure i understand this correctly. Can I plug another splitter into the hdmi input on the arcana so multiple external devices can have lossless audio ?

Dumb question: I play Netflix and Amazon prime from the app on my TV, which only has an ARC port. Will I be able to use the HD arcana and connect the ARC port on the input and put the output to the Sonos Arc to get Dolby Atmos?

I might just get a 4k player that's has hdmi earc and bypass this issue altogether if I get a Sonos. My tv is a Samsung 2016 4k but only has hdmi arc. Still trying to decide between the Sonos arc or a Samsung sound bar SAMSUNG HW-Q950A

Do the projector/tv need to be a 4K tv to get Dolby atmos together with the hd fury arcana ? I have a projector in Full hd in my bedroom. I use appletv 4k and Watch Disney plus atmos movies. I Will Soon get a arcana and need a answer to this. The projector has an ”Arc” hdmi port

connected my PS5 to it to my HDMI 2.0 T.V. and Vizio Soundbar. Doesn't work... I was trying to split it to my vizio and my LX305 Pioneer elite receiver. But since it couldn't get past my vizio soundbar, I returned it (all using Fiber 2.1 directional cables)

Well explained,answerd a lot of questions.sound difference ,noticeable worth it.?maybe not so great on samsung 990c.?

Hi, I am trying to connect my tv to Sonos arc by using a pc. How can I go about this. My tv only has arc hdmi. And my pc is connect to tv. How can I use my pc to TVs to Sonos arc. Please kindly advise.

Can I use the arcana just to connect my tv and Sonos arc? Or do I have to get an apple tv4k?

What if you have a television with earc, but a soundbar that doesn't?

I reached out to HD Fury to see if it would work for my application. This is my question: Good morning, I have a Sony XBR-75X900F tv that has an arc input. I can connect that to my Sonos Arc Earc connection to get a Dolby Atmos(Dolby Digital Plus) connection. Is there a way to use the HD Fury to get a Dolby Atmos(Dolby TrueHD) connection? Using another non arc input on tv? I'm not using any other devices in my setup. Thank you This their response: There is no way to convert your tv to eARC. It will be ARC forever. The arcana cannot fix a hardware problem. So your tv is never going to be good for atmos. Using the arcana with your tv will be the same as not using the arcana at all. You will need an appletv or other external player to use with the sonos arc for atmos and better audio. As the tv itself cannot provide higher audio then it presently supports. Once you have the arcana from us and a new external player then you will have the best audio possible assuming you are using the sonos arc. Am I missing something?

Not everyone has had a great experience with the HDFury Arcana. I wasted a day or so of my time trying to get it to work with a computer or my Xbox Series X (I really wanted it for the latter). I'm using a 43" AORUS 4K UHD HDR monitor. I had it working with the Sonos briefly but then the audio stopped working. So my suggestion is to think carefully about your use case before spending your money on one of these. Caveat emptor with this thing.

Will this solve my issue with the Bose 900 and a 4K Projector? I can connect the Arcana wnd split oudio via earc to the bose and send video via the HDMI to the Projector? I use an ApplTV 4K as my source Thanks

My set up is Sonos Arc + LG55UJ + Apple TV 4K for Netflix and prime. I dont get any atmos signal !! My TV has ARC but not eARC and I thought this should at least get me lossy atmos but no :(. Quite disappointed. Will HDFury Arcana solve this issue ? Want to be sure before I get it as it is $400 here in AUS.

Hey Jonah! Thanks so much for this review. I’ve recently purchased a full Sonos Arc system and I’m finding the lip sync to be a huge issue. I’ve purchased the Arcana although I’m waiting to receive it as it’s back ordered. Can you suggest a good HDMI Switch with at least 4 inputs that will allow for multiple HDMI inputs while not degrading audio quality? FYI my set is through my LG 65’’ OLED HDR CL8 - bought in 2018. It has a single Arc HDMI out. And three other normal HDMI inputs. Thanks so much Jonah!

I have a 2016 samsung ks8000. Should I still buy a sonos arc even though my tv isn't compatible with Dolby atmos and no e arc?

If ARC can’t process full dobly atmos, then how does it explain that certain soundbars have only ARC outlet but has DTS:X abnd dolby atmos. Abit lost here… shouldn’t it be eARC? Or does it just matter for the tv port to be eARC and not soundbar to have eARC to play lossless dolby atmos? 🥴🥴🥴🥴

I have an arc connection from my 65 hisense that does 5.1 digital but not atmos on my Sonos arc, would this decode atmos?

Lets say I have a TV that has 4 HDMI ports. - HDMI 1 & 2 are HDMI 2.1 - HDMI 2 is eARC - HDMI 3 & 4 are HDMI 2.0 I want to use the two HDMI 2.1 ports for the next gen gaming console (XBOX Series X and PS5) but I also want to own and use Sonos Arc Sound Bar as well. How do I use HDFury Arcana to make sure I can get the audio from the Gaming Consoles as well? Or is that even possible? Any Advice is appreciated. Thanks

samsung tv does not have earc , only arc. my soundbar is the nakamichi 9.2.4 , only arc. can i still get earc audio if i use HdFury as my tv and soundbar has only arc.

Did you manage to find a fix for the TV speaker active problem? thanks

Hi there, so helpful! so, before I order it, I'd like to share my setup to try to confirm if it will work as expected. Up to this point my TV only allows me to DolbyDigital (non plus) codec audio output. I want to get Dolby Atmos. TV: Samsung Q70R, only HDMI ARC Apple TV 4K 2022, which sends the Dolby Atmos fully over eARC only Sound system: Sonos beam 2nd gen + 2 sonos One + Sonos Sub mini Philips HDMI Sync box, for the led strip ambilight and as a "hub" for all my HDMI connections (PS4. Apple TV) Currently, I have the TV ARC HDMI output connected to the Sonos beam, and the Apple TV as video input. I only get Dolby Digital 5.1 as maximum sound quality setup. Do you guys think I will succeed by putting the Arcana in between the Sonos beam + Philips HDMI sync box AND the TV?

Why am I NOT getting audio from my JBL 9.1 soundbar when I plug my Nvidia Shield tv directly into the Arcana? Audio DOES work if I put it back into my TCL tv. AND does it make a difference if I just us my Roku remote instead of going directly through my Nvidia Shield. I have the cannister model Shield.

Is there any alternative in 2022? Does it work with all soundbars that has a ARC input (eg Bose TV speaker soundbar)

I have an old Sony receiver that does not support Atmos. It is a 7.2. It is a great receiver. Is there any way to decode the Atmos signal and then use my rear surround speakers as height speakers?

Jonah I ordered one today and excited for it, but my question is for not just you but for everybody...does the blue lettering disappear at the bottom?

Have you tested this with the output sound to Sonos and video output to a Projector? Or know if it works?

Dies Apple TV and Shield output DD True HD? My TV’s eARC is not passing anything but DD+ through its eARC port..

I plan to use this with my AppleTV, Sonos Arc and Sony A8G (only one ARC HDMI input). I am curious if i can still use the other TV input and it will still pass the Arcana and sound going out to Sonos ARC. Or do I need to get a splitter between my Apple TV and TIVO box going to my other HDMI TV input?

I have a similar variation of this problem but no sonos involved and wondering if this HD fury unit would help or what the issue is... My late 2016 Samsung 4K KU6300 tv has only 1 HDR input on HDMI 1 but ARC to my receiver is HDMI 3. All my devices support 4k HDR & atmos (Denon AVR-X3600H, Apple TV 4K & Samsung 9500 Blu-ray). All worked smooth until recently setting up the Apple TV 4K where I noticed I can either get simple reliable functionality limited by arc specs or kinda buggy full spec HDR/atmos but not both. Also my Denon room calibration settings often get switched off /reset to default by the Apple TV 4K. I’ve read all the manuals/ mfr websites, how to videos etc and wanted some feedback before dropping $200 on an adapter. Thanks.

I wonder can this work with new Apple TV 4K return channel to use my connected HomePod? my tv don't have arc/earc..

Question. On the arcana 1 do you need to connect to a power outlet? 2. Can I connect the arcana power to the tvs usb?

I watched your video this past Tuesday and I placed my order for the HDFury Arcana. I just received today from Tiawain via DHL. Total spent $231.00 I have Sonos Arc, Sub Gen 2 & Ones SL I connected Arcana and it’s amazing WOW Instead of buying a TV with Earc ( $4k plus) this just amazing. Im done spending money with this system and Arcana you can’t go wrong 😎

Help. ..Help... Thanks for this video. I bought lg oled 55c8pu and lg skc9 soundbar, both products without EARC , Now can't get Atmos. Is this product will solve my problem? If it does, do i need 1 adapter or 2 ? Please help me out. Thanks.

I have a cable box into my tv try to hook up 4k arcana how to hook up from TV to arcan tks

I just want to know something. I have the lg c9 oled , who has earc Also I have the apple tv 4k. If I am correct, what’s you are saying is that If I use the arcana and play atmos content on Netflix on apple tv4k the audio should be dolby atmos true hd rather than dolby atmos or dolby digital plus?

I have a Samsung q80r soundbar thst is capable for earc but my Samsung q80r does not have earc, will the hdmi fury work for me?

Thanks a lot for your valuable review. Would you be able to review the phone app for it? Would any HDMI switch work with it? HDMI 2.1.

What doesn’t make sense to me, all streaming services use Dolby Atmos from Dolby Digital+ so if you’re using a fury to plug say an Apple TV into the fury, its’ Atmos is still going to be Dolby Digital+. Only a ripped file off a disc or Disc from a Blu-ray uses Dolby True HD, for uncompressed Atmos.

Can I use a Samsung Q9FN TV with the Arcana and can use the apps on the TV to get Atmos audio?

Thanks for concise and well done video. Wondering if you can answer a question for me: My TV (Samsung Frame) has an HDMI eARC port and my sound bar (Yamaha YAS-209) only an HDMI ARC port, can the Arcana supply eARC to sound bar?

I don’t have the nvidea pro. Can I plug into my Panasonic ub820 Blu Ray player? And should I plug into the audio or the regular hdmi?

So I'm looking at this because I just did one fun upgrade. I'll explain the upgrade first lol. I've been remodeling my house for a while now, and I decided to hookup the speakers I purchase for it a while back. Nice Yamaha speakers, including in-ceiling speakers for atmos. Anyone, I just picked myself a Denon receiver. I originally got the "4k passthrough"model, but realized I can't pass through to my 1440p @ 144hz display with it...so I went back and got the 8k model, which has HDMI 2.1. "Surely that'll work". Fun fact, it doesn't lol. So now I'm stuck in limbo. I set this up, quite honestly, to play some sweet games with Atmos on the laptop AND I wanted to not limit myself to "1080p @ 60fps". Gaming, contrary to film and cinema, is more prone to "high FPS" and "higher resolution" (particularly, 1440p is the sweet spot...i'm on a 32" curved display. Set it up in this room for fun before I start doing more remodeling). Anyway, after some digging and looking, I found out about eARC and ARC, which I never knew existed. Color me crazy, but I never 'cared' about sound bars, I would just go purchase a nice receiver and some independant cabinet speakers instead. So I never realized that they 'eventually' figured out a way that would separate audio from video of HDMI like back in the RCA days. Originally, I was trying to find some sort of USB to Optical converter, but that doesn't pass Atmos, so that's irrelevant to me. Then I stumbled upon this device. This device has been one for the past week I've been debating on grabbing, but it's $200 for basically an HDMI splitter. Expensive, but realistically there isn't anything out that will do 1440p @ 120-144hz. So I'm sort of...in limbo lol. I'd "BIte the bullet" and pickup the 4k display right now (Only need 60hz for video anyway) BUT then I can't, at all, game on it...because this laptop would be crippled at that resolution lol. So yeah. Thanks for this review. I'll be utilizing it to determine if I should be grabbing this soon! :) May utilize it in the office when my remodel is finished, provided that I'll be utilizing this 1440p display and this means I "could" utilize an older receiver of mine that also, apparently, has an ARC HDMI port on it. Hopefully it's backwards compatible lol.

sonos should definity buy this company out. This is the only reason why i bought the sonos for my ARC only tv.

I just bought a JBL bar "9.1" sound bar system. I have a sony bravia 65x750h tv manufactured in 2016. it does not have an eARC connection. My question is will i even be able to use the dolby atmos features of the JBL bar 9 with this tv. I understand that arc can do compressed dolby atmos audio but what i dont know if my TV will send the signal or work in a way where the new soundbar actually presents a form of dolby atmos. Also if not then will this hdfury arcana you are talking about remedy the situation?

What is the max length I can use , as I need to bring it from my projector on the Celling

So i just purchased the Sonos ARC. A lot of my movies in Plex are DTS 5.1. I understand that the ARC does not support DTS but I thought Plex would transcode it to a playable format (it doesn’t). Will the HDFury help with that or will i need to decode my movies in a different audio format?

It is easy to turn off the on screen display in the settings. The Dolby vision is a plus as well.

It means the Dolby Atmos works on my tv only has arc port to my q950a soundbar ?

Hi, I have a question, I own a Sony 95H TV. When I play Atmos content on Amazon Prime on my Echo Studio (Atmos-enabled) via my FireTV Stick 4k, my TV identifies the audio signal as Dolby Audio - DD+ although the selected audio stream is Dolby Atmos in Prime Video. I am a bit confused as to which one is true? any opinion?

Thank you for your video. Should I connect the fury to the tv or cable box?

Would this device improve my exp from my TV (HDMI ARC) with my sonos beam gen 2?

Hello, sorry for my English.. If I connect a sonos arc to my TV lg c8 which is dolby atmos ( with hdmi arc, not e-arc), can I have dolby atmos from a fire stick 4k max, or do I need this hdfury arcana?

So I can hook this up from my older 4k TV that only has hdmi 2.0a to my new receiver that has earc 4k pass through???

Thank you so much! You saved my 2019 Samsung Q90R TV!
