HDFury Arcana - LOSSLESS Audio Quality from NON-eARC TV to Sonos Arc

[@guncore]

I've been trying to upgrade my living room setup which is basically an old 2018 TV, and your videos have helped me a lot in figuring out my options on how to try and make it all work together. Thanks!

Nothing but quality products and top notch customer service from HDFury

[@ozzygt1]

I have been watching many reviews of Sonas Arc and associated problems. I have retired my Bose AV18 after 12 years. It all started with the purchase of a new Samsung QLED 75" TV, excellent picture for my room size. The Sonas Arc, Gen3 sub and 2 One SL makes excellent sound very happy with system. I have a EPSON 1080p projector got the HD fury and HDR HDMI Matrix 4x2 matrix (HDMX0012M1) all works seamless have projector, blueray, chromecast, sattelite TV 4k, system supports Dolby Atoms scales 1080p to 4k all works perfect. Your advice on HD fury and Sonas devices spot on.

[@psimp8871]

I am looking at a similar setup. Can you tell me how it all goes together? I have a projector with no eArc output and want to get the Sonos Arc. Thank you!

[@bassman108]

I ordered my HD Fury from your link and receive the 5% discount. Took about four days to arrive. Its setup took my just a few minutes. Sounds great! So glad I bought this to go with my Sonos Arc system. I made the purchase with PayPal on the website and it did look a little suspicious but it worked. Thanks for the discount!

Good work. Would be huge for new hisense H9G and other tvs... grab a media device and this and stick behind tv, done deal.

2021 product of the year! Thx, Jonah. This item just saved man-kind from heart-ache, made my 2017 Sony 900E look just stunning when set to LLDV to HDR with this thing. Tone mapping and nit brightness really works better in DV.

[@ronalurbina5501]

I have the Same question..

[@johnpereira6934]

Bought the Arcana to get Dolby Vision working with a Samsung QLED TV using a 2019 NVIDA Shield Pro. The Arcana converts Dolby Vision signals from LLDV (or is it LDV) sources into a compatible signal for use with non-Dolby compatible TVs. Refer to HDFury's website for additional details. Only issue is that the TV will not indicate a better signal than HDR. For example, Dolby Vision or HDR10+. This conversion will only work with LLDV sources and not regular DV sources. There are plenty of LLDV sources and LLDV is not limited to specific esoteric sources. In other words LLDV sources are quite common. For further info refer to the Arcana website.

[@robertolopez5502]

I wanted to share my experience: - Bought Sonos Arc last week - I have an Optoma Cinemax P2 with no e-arc - thank you for this video, watched on Monday and promptly ordered the Arcana (thanks for the code) - it was supposed to arrive Friday but it got here Wednesday!!! - I also ordered the RooFull Premium 5 port HDMI switch from Amazon - I am now sitting in my couch enjoying atmos in my PS4, SHIELD and HTPC all flawlessly controlled through Logitech Harmony THANK YOU 🙏

This is the exact set up that we are considering (Sonos Arc + Arcana + Optoma Cinemax P2). Do you have a picture of your set up?

Download the latest firmware - resolved all issues I had. Mainly sound cutting out when swapping channels

[@Cheese-Head]

Do you just download it onto a usb stick and plug it into the unit and it auto updates?

[@JoshFisher567]

@@Cheese-Head HDFury is great about updates. Seem to release an update for each of their products At least once a month, if not twice. They will fix any reported issues. My optoma p1 had some dropout issues. I got the key to get hd audio(true HD and DTS MA) to my non arc receiver. Even with its minimal EDID management it solved all my dropout issues. I then started reading about the diva and once I found out you can essentially get Dolby Vision or HDR+ on an HDR10 display I was sold. Essentially it tricks the player, in my case the new Nvidia shield pro, into thinking our display can do Dolby Vision. The Diva then remaps the color tones to HDR10 in sub 1 milliseconds. You can really notice the difference. That is what that LLDV setting does. Not sure how much control you have on it with the arcana. With the diva you can inject your own HDR metadata for a better picture for both HDR and Dolby Vision. Here is how often they release updates. Go to downloads and you will see what I mean. www.hdfury.com/product/4k-diva-18gbps/

Thanks for your video about this product. I’m still unclear if it will work in my situation and how it increases the number or HDMI ports available. I have an Apple TV, a non-ARC/eARV tv, and a Sonos ARC. My thought is that I can plug my Apple TV into one port on the device (HDMI In) and then coming out the other end HDMI Out got to the TV and eARC goes to Sonos ARC. Is that correct?

[@untakaczz]

Hi, I have a Philips oled805 TV with only an arc port. To connect to the TV, I used Sonos Arc + 2 one SL + 1 sub. So far, the built-in Netflix TV has performed admirably. I can play Dolby Atmos without any delay. However, when I connect my PS5 to the Philips TV and use the Dolby sound option in PS5, it shows dolby 5.1 but the sound has a 0.5 s delay, which I can clearly hear. When I switched it to PCM, there is no delay, but the soundbar was operating on a stereo model, which produces only two channels of sound, and the sound was very crisp. So I'm wondering if Aracna will fix the delay issue when I use PS5? Thanks

[@saumyas2943]

Have you tested this with the output sound to Sonos and video output to a Projector? Or know if it works?

[@richards2072]

I'm wondering this too.

[@Steve30x]

Thank you for this. My LG TV is only hdmi arc and it doesn't output DTS audio via hdmi arc. When a DTS audio is input to the TV it will output PCM 2.0 audio to arc. I need something like this for my soundbar.

[@rts100x5]

I recently installed a 7.2.6 Home Theater ...he had a 85 inch Samsung TV for display and the CEC (HDMI control ) was causing some major problems - such as you described - turn d off CEC and everything was working fine after that

[@rookiemonster_133m9]

My set up is Sonos Arc + LG55UJ + Apple TV 4K for Netflix and prime. I dont get any atmos signal !! My TV has ARC but not eARC and I thought this should at least get me lossy atmos but no :(. Quite disappointed. Will HDFury Arcana solve this issue ? Want to be sure before I get it as it is $400 here in AUS.

[@JonahMatthes]

It’s possible the TV isn’t able to process Dolby Digital Plus through HDMI ARC, but that’s strange. You should still be getting Atmos. Make sure whatever content your streaming has Dolby Atmos audio (I’m sure you have, just double check). But yes, the Arcana will definitely solve this issue for you!

[@rookiemonster_133m9]

Jonah Matthes Yup, even rented a movie from ITunes on the Apple TV to be sure. But I don’t get lossy atmos :(. I’ll give it another month or so to see if there will be cheaper, less complicated solutions out there. If not, might just buy a New TV on Black Friday that has eARC. Thanks heaps though. Loving your content !!

[@richellebrittain2127]

The Apple TV 4K outputs a special flavor of Atmos known as Dolby MAT, which encodes Atmos metadata into an uncompressed LPCM 7.1 stream. It's primarily intended for gaming (it's also used by the Xbox One S & X and one of Nvidia's streaming boxes), but it helps Apple deal with an arcane (and IMO stupid) Netflix rule that only devices which decode DD+ internally can stream Atmos. (That's supposedly why most Roku devices' Netflix apps don't support Atmos.) Atmos over Dolby MAT isn't supported by regular ARC as its LPCM is limited to 2.0, but the Arcana should bypass that limitation.

[@fahadquader4447]

Dumb question: I play Netflix and Amazon prime from the app on my TV, which only has an ARC port. Will I be able to use the HD arcana and connect the ARC port on the input and put the output to the Sonos Arc to get Dolby Atmos?

Hello guys i have the same question did any of you able to play atmos on that particular usage?i mean with the app of netflix from the tv and with the arcana was able to play atmos?thanks in advance

[@nikkolaicowan5442]

Yes, you can get Dolby Atmos over the ARC port from your TV without the Acana. The problem is that if you have other inputs plugged into the TV you will have to unplug them first each time before you turn on the TV to consistently get Dolby Atmos

[@nikkolaicowan5442]

By the way for you to get Dolby Atmos your TV must the capable of processing it

[@rheacecontracting]

So what if the you are streaming everything from your smart TV and not an external source, does it still work the same?

[@JonahMatthes]

Yes, still passes through regular ARC from TV.

[@EvanBlairM]

Hold up. What do you mean? What’s the purpose of using the Furry HD Arcania in this scenario if it just passes regular arc through? We want Atmos. Wouldn’t you need to add an external device that will out put atoms such as an Apple TV 4K or Nvidia shield?

[@JulioArzeno]

If you got the Sony A7000 sound bar. You don’t need the HDFury. The sound bar has a Earc HDMI for Audio that goes the Apple TV or similar device. Then another HDMI for the TV or projector. I got the HDFury but didn’t have to use it.

[@perumalrajaselvarassou4283]

Hi, which HDMI cable are you suggesting for arcana setup??thanks

[@florianernst9807]

So, using the splitter its only possible to have the sound with the arc? Or its possible to shutdown the arc and use the speakers of the tv without disconnect the splitter? For example stream Musik to the arc using airplay 2 from iPhone AND watching any fitness tutorial on the tv?

[@murtadha12345678910]

I dont quite understand whether this device can solve my problem. I have a smart TV with only 3 ARC ports (NO eARC), and a sonos arc soundbar with an earc input. I want losless audio from my TV to my soundbar, and I dont want any external device like a ps5 or a receiver or cd player etc. If I connect my tv's arc port to my soundbar, everything works fine and i can get the compressed version of dolby atmos from streaming services etc, but i cannot get FULLHD losless audio from my tvs internal storage to my soundbar, because my tv ofcourse only outputs through an ARC hdmi port. My question is: If i connect the ARC port of my TV to this device, and then connect the device to the earc input of my soundbar. And then play a file that has full HD losless audio from my tv's internal storage, will it output the losless audio to my soundbar? Or is this device only usable with an 'external source', like a ps5 etc?

I have a similar variation of this problem but no sonos involved and wondering if this HD fury unit would help or what the issue is... My late 2016 Samsung 4K KU6300 tv has only 1 HDR input on HDMI 1 but ARC to my receiver is HDMI 3. All my devices support 4k HDR & atmos (Denon AVR-X3600H, Apple TV 4K & Samsung 9500 Blu-ray). All worked smooth until recently setting up the Apple TV 4K where I noticed I can either get simple reliable functionality limited by arc specs or kinda buggy full spec HDR/atmos but not both. Also my Denon room calibration settings often get switched off /reset to default by the Apple TV 4K. I’ve read all the manuals/ mfr websites, how to videos etc and wanted some feedback before dropping $200 on an adapter. Thanks.

[@rts100x5]

EDIT ..I could not get APPLETV4k to maintain SONOS ARC as default audio output ..We could switch it back but THEN audio began dropping out all together ...it kept changing back to TV Speakers ... Turning off HDMI CEC on ATV temporarily fixed this issue but it came back the next day .... Instead of going round and round with Apple tech support (useless don't waste your time seriously) I changed to an NVIDIA SHEILD PRO .... well I couldn't get sound to work AT ALL or even SONOS to confirm HDMI connection UNTIL I RESET ARCANA TO FACTORY DEFAULT ....after that it works perfectly and even CEC works as I can control the ARC volume with the Nvidia remote ...this may or may not have resolved the issue with ATV4k ..I did not hook it back up to test it since the NVIDIA SHEILD seems to work so well and supports atmos / HDR etc..... SO if your having connection issues RESET ARCAN TO DEFAULT 😁 your welcome

@@JamieEstrada Sweet! Thanks buddy. I might pick one up too

[@itsJoshW]

So I'm looking at this because I just did one fun upgrade. I'll explain the upgrade first lol. I've been remodeling my house for a while now, and I decided to hookup the speakers I purchase for it a while back. Nice Yamaha speakers, including in-ceiling speakers for atmos. Anyone, I just picked myself a Denon receiver. I originally got the "4k passthrough"model, but realized I can't pass through to my 1440p @ 144hz display with it...so I went back and got the 8k model, which has HDMI 2.1. "Surely that'll work". Fun fact, it doesn't lol. So now I'm stuck in limbo. I set this up, quite honestly, to play some sweet games with Atmos on the laptop AND I wanted to not limit myself to "1080p @ 60fps". Gaming, contrary to film and cinema, is more prone to "high FPS" and "higher resolution" (particularly, 1440p is the sweet spot...i'm on a 32" curved display. Set it up in this room for fun before I start doing more remodeling). Anyway, after some digging and looking, I found out about eARC and ARC, which I never knew existed. Color me crazy, but I never 'cared' about sound bars, I would just go purchase a nice receiver and some independant cabinet speakers instead. So I never realized that they 'eventually' figured out a way that would separate audio from video of HDMI like back in the RCA days. Originally, I was trying to find some sort of USB to Optical converter, but that doesn't pass Atmos, so that's irrelevant to me. Then I stumbled upon this device. This device has been one for the past week I've been debating on grabbing, but it's $200 for basically an HDMI splitter. Expensive, but realistically there isn't anything out that will do 1440p @ 120-144hz. So I'm sort of...in limbo lol. I'd "BIte the bullet" and pickup the 4k display right now (Only need 60hz for video anyway) BUT then I can't, at all, game on it...because this laptop would be crippled at that resolution lol. So yeah. Thanks for this review. I'll be utilizing it to determine if I should be grabbing this soon! :) May utilize it in the office when my remodel is finished, provided that I'll be utilizing this 1440p display and this means I "could" utilize an older receiver of mine that also, apparently, has an ARC HDMI port on it. Hopefully it's backwards compatible lol.

I might just get a 4k player that's has hdmi earc and bypass this issue altogether if I get a Sonos. My tv is a Samsung 2016 4k but only has hdmi arc. Still trying to decide between the Sonos arc or a Samsung sound bar SAMSUNG HW-Q950A

[@hgonz14]

I have a Samsung q80r soundbar thst is capable for earc but my Samsung q80r does not have earc, will the hdmi fury work for me?

[@hadious]

I wonder can this work with new Apple TV 4K return channel to use my connected HomePod? my tv don't have arc/earc..

[@matsthunblad]

Could I get atmos with a cromecast tv connected ti soundbar eark? I have the samsung T.

[@tdubpinoy13]

I have a 2016 samsung ks8000. Should I still buy a sonos arc even though my tv isn't compatible with Dolby atmos and no e arc?

[@giuseppecasubolo7786]

Hi Jonah, which switcher do you suggest if I want to connect more devices to my Arcana ? Thank you very much for your advice.

[@jamesgarrett6602]

I’d love to see a response to this

[@jamesgarrett6602]

May I ask you 2 questions: 1) does the HDFury text at the bottom of the tv screen go away after a little bit? 2) did you have to update the HDFury firmware? My MacBook won’t bring it up when I connect them together. Is it really necessary or can I just plug and play without updating? (Waiting on my soundbar to arrive) - Sonos ARC

[@mixos11]

If i dont have an input device like the nvidia shield and my only input device in my tv itself, do i have to put my tv in the arcana's hdmi input port or i keep the connection as it is in the video and arcana's hdmi input port emty?

[@sidvela11]

Hello! Had a question. Why cant a regular AVR be used to fo the same thing? Dont AVR's come with an eARC where i can then connect my amazon fire cube to the AVR, have the video go to the projector and have the audio go through the eARC from theAVR to the sonos? What am i missing?

[@carlossagaro5977]

So, I should connect my TV output to this and it coverts it to earc? How does it do that if the TV is not earc to begin with?

[@Daharas7]

You need an external device for this device such as a Shield, Blu-ray player, PC, Firestick etc. If your setup is just a TV and soundbar, then this is not for you I think. Edit: Appears the Firestick doesn't support lossless audio www.reddit.com/r/plex/comments/axqrzu

[@keetvhdlimited962]

Is there any difference in sound with earc

[@josipgavran]

If i didn't have nvidia shield or any external media device and i used TV as a source, could i plug that HDMI from the TV to the Arcana and still end up with same result?

[@brucekent1886]

I have the same question since I don't have any other device. I just have my Android TV which basically doesn't need a separate box.

[@armanyal-isra8837]

If ARC can’t process full dobly atmos, then how does it explain that certain soundbars have only ARC outlet but has DTS:X abnd dolby atmos. Abit lost here… shouldn’t it be eARC? Or does it just matter for the tv port to be eARC and not soundbar to have eARC to play lossless dolby atmos? 🥴🥴🥴🥴

[@joaquingamboa5429]

if is cdmi 2.0b , dolby atmos or true hd doesn't need 2.1 to fully works?

[@garypollio4960]

do you think the Arcana would make much of a difference with the Gen 2 Beam?

[@Trumpet1ification]

Why am I NOT getting audio from my JBL 9.1 soundbar when I plug my Nvidia Shield tv directly into the Arcana? Audio DOES work if I put it back into my TCL tv. AND does it make a difference if I just us my Roku remote instead of going directly through my Nvidia Shield. I have the cannister model Shield.

[@TachiKomaBlue]

Lets say I have a TV that has 4 HDMI ports. - HDMI 1 & 2 are HDMI 2.1 - HDMI 2 is eARC - HDMI 3 & 4 are HDMI 2.0 I want to use the two HDMI 2.1 ports for the next gen gaming console (XBOX Series X and PS5) but I also want to own and use Sonos Arc Sound Bar as well. How do I use HDFury Arcana to make sure I can get the audio from the Gaming Consoles as well? Or is that even possible? Any Advice is appreciated. Thanks

[@brettrnz]

Great video ! I have a few questions if anyone here can please help answer . 1. Does the hdmi cable from sonos arc to arcana need to be 2.1 for lossless audio? 2. Does this improve TV app lip sync issues (netflix app on my LG c7)or only those on the external device plugged into the Arcana? 3. Jonah mentioned this but I wanted to make sure i understand this correctly. Can I plug another splitter into the hdmi input on the arcana so multiple external devices can have lossless audio ?

[@ldmsound]

Following.

[@Muskrat6969]

Yeah I need answers to all these questions aswell lol...
