Operating in ARC Mode
In ARC mode you can route the audio signal of the connected output to an input that is
connected to an audio system (for example, home theater receiver).
ARC (Audio Return Channel) can be set via the front panel buttons and the embedded
webpages.
You can enable the input to accept the audio output signal, by ARC-enabling the outputs on
the device via the embedded web pages (see Switching Audio in Breakaway Mode on
page 38 for further reference). You can then route the audio output to the input either via the
embedded web pages (see Switching ARC to an Input on page 39) or via the front panel
buttons.
The following examples show how the output 6 ARC audio signal is routed to input 3, as
illustrated in Figure 14:
Figure 14: ARC Audio Routing Example
To route the audio signal from the output to the input via the front panel buttons:
1. Press the ARC button.
The ARC button illuminates, and the device enters ARC mode.
On the front panel, an ARC enabled input button:
• Flashes when that input is set to ARC mode.
• Illuminates when that button is not in ARC mode (and is set to Step-in mode).
