Now that I have a relatively up to date AVR helming my simple 2.1 setup I have a couple questions about ARC.
The Components -
- Marantz NR1504
- Samsung UN46**8500 (can't remember the letters there, sorry)
- XBOX ONE
- PS3
1. What audio codecs will return to the receiver from the television? Is this dependent on the source, the television, or limitations of ARC?
2. Assuming my configuration is as such - PS3 connect to HDMI input on NR1504 then NR1504 HDMI Out to HDMI 1 (ARC) on Samsung television and XBOX ONE connect to HDMI 2 on television, should I be able to get Audio from the XBOX ONE to the NR1504 without changing the input on the AVR?
The reason I prefer it this is way is that the television has video settings that are specific to each input. I would like to avoid making this setup more complicated. If all I can get out of ARC is 2 channel PCM and Dolby it's no big deal because I'm not overly concerned about losing much from a game only system.
Thanks in advance.
