Dear Hifi Rose employees and users,
I recently bought the RS250a above a RS250a due to the HDMI Arc functionality. Unfortunately I don’t get it working.
My situation is that I have an Apple 4K TV hooked up to my TV via HDMI ARC port and a HDMI cable from the TV HDMI ARC to the HDMI port on the Hifi Rose. I can select HDMI as an output in the in/out settings on the Hifi Rose but not as an input.
I hope someone know what is happening, thank you in advance!
Kind regards
The HDMI port on the RS250A is an HDMI output (ARC/eARC), not an input.
This means the RS250A can send audio from the RS250A to a TV via HDMI ARC, but it cannot receive audio from your TV or Apple TV into the RS250A through HDMI ARC.
If you want to play audio from your Apple TV through the RS250A, you need to connect your Apple TV directly to the RS250A using a optical input
Thank you for the quick reply. In that case I don’t know what the addition of ARC is. Normal hdmi could already send audio from the device to the tv via hdmi. ARC is audio RETURN channel right?
I think, that there is a misunderstanding.
The RS250A has only a HDMI out (primarily for showing the played metadata, videos and audio), but not ARC.
