I'm looking to buy a 4k receiver, and I was wondering if I should buy one with Earc ? From what I've read it seems like an important feature to have for the future. Do you guys agree ?
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.
Note: This feature may not be available in some browsers.
Not if you are connecting the BD player to the receiver and then passing just the video on to your TV, which is how you should be connecting things.What if I stream through my Blu-ray player ? Would I need the ARC feature ?
The HD with NetFlix, Prime and so on, is video only, not audio, which is Dolby Digital quality, not HD like you get on Blu-Ray discs.
It's DD quality Atmos, which is not the same as HD audio. The Atmos on Blu-Ray discs is HD quality, which is better than DD. Two different things.If that is the case, then it is odd that my receiver shows ATMOS when Netflix advertises a flick with an ATMOS track and DD+ for materials without any ATMOS designation.
Disney+ shows as only DD.
The above is all over the ARC connection.
