Don't forget that CEC (Anynet+) needs to be turned on before you can even select Atmos; it also allows the receiver to "advertise" it's Atmos etc to the TV making it a little easier in most cases.

Good morning! God bless you and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I am writing because currently I am having a hard time deciding between the JBL 9.1 or the Sony ST5000. I live overseas so I cannot think about returning any after trying. I look for the most immersive 3D overhead ATMOS sound and a Punchy Rumbling Bass. Also for Stability and less glitches if possible! Thing is next year I want to buy a new TV with eARC as my current Samsung NU7090 is only ARC. I have heard users say the Samsungs eARC, LG, and Sony have issues with the JBL causing audio drop outs mostly for Atmos streaming. So basically in conclusion, which soundbar would you choose? Would you wait for CES 2021? Please consider I use Apple TV 4K P.D. I am currently selling my Sony Z9F and rears because it failed to provide overhead Atmos and just had a boomy bass.

Hi Techno great video. My setup I have all my external sourced going into my denon X-ray-3700 and just my tv using the arc input on the denon. One of the external sources I have is my Android shield box streaming device. Sometimes when I click that source on my remote the screen will come up to play but then automatically switch to my tv source. How do I stop this from happening? Once in awhile I will get an error pop up on tv saying I an input device has been detected trying to use arc I think . It may be referring to the shield streaming device?

Hmm so I have a few questions regarding sound bars and 4k pass through. So... The new game consoles (Xbox and Playstation) are coming out this year with eARC and HDMI 2.1 support. I have the Samsung Q80r 4k tv which currently does not support eARC or HDMI 2.1. However, I plan on getting a Samsung hw-q900t soundbar which does support HDMI 2.1 and eARC (just like the Xbox Series X). First question, is it possible for an HDMI 2.0 port to be upgraded via firmware to 2.1? Second, if the new Xbox is connected to the soundbar, would I still get to take advantage of eARC even though my tv doesn’t support it? And third, if the soundbar supports hdmi 2.1, 4K video passthrough but the tv only has hdmi 2.0 (and ARC) would my tv be able to display the 2.1, 4K passthrough even though the signals would be coming from the Xbox and soundbar (sort of like upscaling or upconverting)? My tv does natively support 4K @120hz btw. I’m asking because idk if I’d have to buy another tv to take advantage of these technologies.

Hi Tech Dad, just found this vid. Very informative. I have the Q90T and a Vizio Elevate sound bar and love the setup. This vid answered a lot of questions, especially the greyed out audio passthrough when using onboard apps. An observation: When playing Atmos or DD+ 5.1 via the onboard apps, the info coming from the Elevate indicates it's Dolby Audio/Atmos via Dolby MAT (Metadata-enhanced Audio Transmission ). When using the Blu ray player or apps via Chromecast or my X1 box, it's now in passthrough and the info indicates Dolby Audio via DD+. My question is: Is there a difference in delivering the audio between MAT and DD+? Both methods are being sent via eArc, according to the Elevate info display. No issues with performance, sound is great. Thnx!

Hi there! Always appreciate your videos, good sir! I just bought a q80t and a new hw-900t soundbar, but I’m having major problems when connecting an Xbox one S to the tv. The soundbar gets lossy atmos fine from the tv sources, but anything played from the Xbox has a noticeable delay, and if I play a 4k blu ray with lossless atmos, the sound mostly doesn’t play at all. If it does, it cuts in an out. I’ve checked to ensure all devices are up to date and I’m using two 8k HDMI cables to hook up the soundbar and Xbox to the tv. I do notice that pass through is greyed out when using the Xbox too, so I’m not sure what to do about that. Sadly, Samsung support has been no help whatsoever. Any guidance or suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!

@xfan420bush9 3 жыл бұрын

I am having this problem with my Q80T and my PS5. My understanding is the both PlayStation and Xbox output LPCM audio natively, however Samsung TVs are incapable of passing through this LPCM audio as 5.1 or 7.1 surround and instead downmixes it to stereo. On my PS5 I can change the audio output to Dolby which then does pass through to my soundbar in 5.1. However because this is not the native audio output format, the PS5 is converting LPCM to Dolby. This is what is creating the audio delay (as well as compressing the audio and ruining the quality). Perhaps this is what is happening to you with you Xbox too? I can see that this comment is 10 months old so if you have had any improvements or found and work around since then please let me know. Thanks!

Excellent video! I've spent numerous hours trying to figure out why my new Samsung 75" Q7DT 4K TV would only output PCM to my Marantz SR5014 receiver. Thank you for explaining the issue. I was under the impression that any TV built-in app that supported ATMOS or for that matter DD, could be sent to the AVR in passthrough mode. So based on your explanation, I may be better off connecting my external devices (Blu-Ray player and Firestick) directly to the HDMI inputs on the TV; rather than my AVR, then use the Passthrough route back to the AVR.

I’ll soon be buying a 75 inch Q90T along with a Denon 3600 AV receiver. I’m having a little trouble understanding the input situation. Apparently theres one eArc hdmi (#3) and one 2.1 hdmi (#4). I understand earc is for ideal audio and 2.1 will be ideal for ps5 gaming. Since i originally thought the point of the av receiver was for all devices to be connected to the receiver, then just one hdmi cord from av to tv for video passthrough, i’m having a hard time grasping the two hdmi cords to the tv. Are there situations in which i’ll have to decide which to use, earc or 2.1? Any information or resources would be greatly appreciated if possible! Thanks so much

Hi there. I am doing the same but with the 8k denon receiver. There is only 1 input from denon that supports earc. So it would most likely to be for your main source. The other hdmi is for your ps5, which will be at 8k 60hz only. Both 2.1 connections are hdmi 8k capable.

So basically I have my soundbar plugged into my earc port on my q70t tv. What I should do is set earc to Auto and then pass through for the output?

So im here and i have 2 choices, the 55 inch phillips Led (2021) with dolby atmos and vision and ambilight, costs in norway 650usd, or i can buy the samsung Q70A for 550usd, Which one should i get? i have the newest samsung soundbar package with extra side speakers and subwoofer and i will mainly use the tv for gaming and movies. Last time i checked samsung cant give us real dolby atmos, only digital plus, while the phillips can give real atmos and dolby vision. What do you think?

This saved me major aggravation last night! I just checked the Pass Thru, works on HDMI 2. Maybe all HDMI ports will pass Atmos, via a firmware update? Why wouldn’t you connect all sources to the AVR and just use the EARC on the Tv & AVR? The EARC should pass lossless Atmos over this connection to the TV’s EARC. If connecting devices to the TV directly I get it. I have a B & O Beosound Stage with only one input. So this a great problem solver. It also will correct lip sync issues because the Pass Thru is eliminating processing from the TV causing a timing lag. I also had to go into the setup menu in my Panasonic 4K Blu-ray player. Audio output needs to be set to bitstream & BD-Video Secondary Audio set for Auto or off, to pass Atmos. Downmix set to surround.

I recently bought the Q80T TV. Do I need a nicer HDMI cable to connect the eARC to the soundbar? I have the 2.1 cable for my PS5 but didn't know if I need the high end cable for all connections.

Yes, you need a HDMI cable with Ethernet for eARC.

Hello Techno Dad, many thanks for your kind uploading this video which is very helpful. Recently, I have bought Samsung 75 inches CU 7100 television and did the set-up of e-Arc in my new TV and Sony AV Receiver. When trying to watch movies through Netflix and Amazon Prime, my AV receiver shows only PCM audio even though the movies are with 5.1. However, it is OK with the movies with Atmos sound. I have tried to fix the audio sound of for 5.1 sound movies but am unsuccessful. I, therefore, request your kind expertise help. Thank you in advance for your kind expertise help/suggestion. Regards, Ramesh

I purchased HW-q900t Soundbar for my q70t 65 inch TV 2020, I am not able to the get the dolby atmos option activated it stays greyed out tried closing the Netflix app too. Also the pass through is also greyout and when I connect to HDMI port it gives me only option to select TV speakers but the sound comes from the soundbar. Very strange. Does my TV supports hw-900t soundbar

Heyy bro nice video!!!! I have Samsung Q800T soundbar and I have put the HDMI 2.1 in Earc port in my Samsung tu8200 tv and the other end in hdmi Earc/arc and it is showing the logo of Atmos in Netflix so does that mean I am getting Atmos but on the soundbar display it is showing eArc. Plz reply thanks

@TechnoDad 3 жыл бұрын

Hi! That means the TV is sending out Atmos. Whether or not your soundbar is outputting Atmos is a different story.

@@TechnoDad I think I have the same concern, I bought a Q800T soundbar, and connected the the eArc HDMI from the sound bar to my TV Samsung UAKS7000 HDMI Arc, tho my TV is a 2016 Quantum dot model that don't have the eArc HDMI port, is that the reason why I'm not getting the Dolby Atmos on Netflix?? Its just 5.1 Tho when I go to the TV advance settings and to the sound it is in Dolby Digital audio format, and HDMI audio format i chose Bistream not PCM coz it has only has that 2 choices, does that mean I'm not getting the Dolby Atmos coz my TV is not eArc supported, and its not the latest model?? Or is there any other way to fix or do something about it. By the way great and informative video, very clear. And I'll wait for your reply, thank you, more power.👍

Great video! So i have a question and concern. I just got my Q80T 55 inch QLED. I want to have dolby atmos enabled. I have the Amazon fire stick hooked up to port #3 which is Earc for this model. But i have to ebable HDMI CEC first. To get to dolby atmos being enabled in the sound external settings. But once i enable HDMI CEC. My PS5 automatically turns on by itself every single time i turn on the TV. Unless i turn off HDMI CEC Anynet from the external device manager. How can i get around this? I dont kno wat this has to do with my PS5 turning on by itself. I have to enable the CEC first to get to dolby atmos being enabled. Wat should i do? Thank you!

@dudebv1613 2 жыл бұрын

'Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) is a feature of HDMI designed to control HDMI connected devices by using only one remote controller; so, individual CEC enabled devices can command and control each other without user intervention, for up to 15 devices.' Maybe you can check the PS5 CEC options to make sure it doesn't turn on when you turn on your tv? I got a Shield Pro conencted to my TV and I can select to not turn on when I turn on my TV in the Shield settings.... You put a fire stick in EARC port? You should put an HDMI cable 2.1 in the TV EARC port to your AV or soundbar to get Atmos no? After that turn on HDMI EARC mode to Auto on your TV, select Pass-through and Atmos compability. Also don't forget CEC on Samsung is called Anynet+, so maybe turn that off if you don't want to control multiple devices.

I have a Samsung Q70 and an Xbox series X. If I contact my Xbox to my AVR I loose my ability for VRR. I know my TV can do everything I want it to do with the Xbox (except 4K @120 HDR) so I plugged the Xbox directly into the TV and it worked grate. Problem is I loose my Atmos! I do not want to do that. So with the Q70 can I run the Xbox to the TV and the TV to the AVR threw the ARC? Or is there another way I can’t get this done

@jacobsecor5015 3 жыл бұрын

Can you use eARC from the TV to an older receiver that doesn't have support and just send it to a random hdmi in on the receiver? My only other option would be to use TOSLINK but from what I can tell, eARC would be better.

Question. I've decided on buying the Q90T with a series x and a sound bar that is eArc compliant. Can I run a 48 Gbps HDMI cable from the Series X to HDMI port 4 (for all the visual benefits of 4K 60fps or 120fps) and run another 48 Gbps from the eArc from the TV (the HDMI port 3) to the soundbar's eArc input to get the best sound quality? Just trying to get the best of both worlds if possible.

Yes! You can connect it up that way.
