HDMI arc you've probably seen it on your soundbar annual receiver even your TV now what does it mean and what does it do hi my name is Jonah with the home theater DIY today we're gonna go over HDMI art how it works what it does what the pros and cons are and should you be using it it's mainly used with sound bars and receivers so if you have your video devices plugged into your receiver or sound bar this can be routing that video signal to the TV or projector but let's say you have a smart TV and you're playing Netflix or Hulu on that TV well without HDMI art there's no way for that audio to get back to the sound bar receiver so what HDMI art does is its routing that audio signal back through the same HDMI cable in the reverse direction and that's how the audio gets from the TV to the sound bar or receiver so before HDMI Arc you had to run a digital optical digital coax or RCA cables fr
