Home Theater Audio - What is ARC, HDCP, Toslink, SPDIF, Dolby Atmos?

This is a general overview of Home Theater Audio including surround formats such as Dolby Atmos and DTS-X as well as audio cable types and surround sound configurations.
With TVs being so thin, they don't usually provide the best sound quality, which has caused most people to purchase a sound bar or home theater system. This video explains the best way to connect these devices for the best possible audio/video quality. HDMI provides the best connection for surround formats but it has caused issues when attempting to play HDCP protected 4K video.

I remember my first surround sound system in 1997 that was a Technics Dolby Surround/Pro Logic receiver/sound system with my Panasonic VHS Cassette player and TV. Then we added a Panasonic DVD player and using Component video and Optical audio cables we had Dolby Digital. I then in 2010 upgraded to a Blu Ray player and a 1080p HD TV with HDMI connections and a new Dolby True HD/DTS HD receiver. I guess my next purchase will be a full Dolby Atmos system with at least 4K.

I haven't tested this but I dont believe arc will work if you're splitting the source since the soundbar and the tv cant directly communicate

I don't care how long your videos are they are all worth the time. As long as they don't go over 12 hours I'm good. I'd say I'm pretty on top of new electronic settings etc. The reason I mentioned this is a few months ago I was in a Best Buy store and there was an elderly couple looking for a tv and the more the BB guy talked to them their eyes were as big as a dinner plate. I felt sorry for them so waited till the BB guy left and after, I spoke to them and was able to help them. But, technology is moving so fast that every time a buy something new I'm aware that in a year or two some new tech. will pop up. So thanks for the videos.

Hope someone can help with the following: I have a LG B7 Oled and considering buying the SJ9 soundbar (don't hate!). As I see both support HDCP 2.2. The TV decodes DTS-HD and Atmos (and they are backwards compatible I guess). The soundbar supports all the common formats. I want to know which problems with sound input/output I might have with the following setup: PS4 (which will connect to soundbar HDMI in) Set top box (connect to TV HDMI) Soundbar HDMI Arc out to TV HDMI Arc HDD via USB 3.0 to the TV Now, most movies I have on the HDD (but also can be played physically on PS4) and it is primarily from there that I watch - so my question is whether or not I have the optimal setup in this situation? Will DTS-HD be output through the soundbar if it encoded on the HDD in one of the supported formats? Or will I have to use physical copies of the movies?

[@TheBl4zon]

Big up for background music (Mobb Deep - Survival of the Fittest). The best solution is to connect your gaming console or blue-ray player straight to the TV (if your TV is supporting eARC) and use eARC Hdmi intput to connect TV with your AV receiver. eARC (enhanced audio return channel) has bigger bandwidth so it can pass through full Dolby Atmos or DTS X. So if you are looking for new AV receiver in 2020 do not buy anything without eARC 😉

[@CliffHuxtableSweater]

This reminds me of a macro economics course back in college where I literally spent 4 hours to try and understand 3 pages in my book. This is impossible. I feel like the old people who say "just give me a tv that turn on when I need it". Between cable compatibility and 4k and full array and oled and qled and edge lit and back lit and banding and flashlighting and dead pixels and day time calibration ...its all become overwhelming. The quest for the perfect picture is impossible.

Hi! This was a great video explaining an issue that I just realized I may have. I know this video is old, but hopefully I can get a confirmation! I just upgraded my family's home theater (haven't received the TV or UHD player yet), but decided not to upgrade the receiver because we're happy with the sound (no Dolby Atmos or DTS:X) and I didn't want to spend the money haha. The TV is Sony X90J and the UHD player is Panasonic DPUB820K. The receiver is an older Sony STR-HD540 which does NOT have HDCP 2.2. I didn't think it would be an issue since it has 4K passthrough (but with HDMI 1.4), but I'm wondering if I'm going to have any issues. The Panasonic UHD player can have HDMI Video to the TV and HDMI Audio (1.4) to the receiver. The Sony TV can have HDMI eARC out to the receiver. Will I still be able to get surround sound (Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD) from the TV apps and UHD player, or will the "handshake" not happen and there will be an issue?

Your solution at 7:50 does not work in my case(well it does and doesnt). Maybe for others as well. That works fine if you have just the one HDMI going to the TV as it did in your case. BUT I have 2 HDMI cables going to my TV. One from my 4k player and one from my receiver to watch my non4k programs and games. My receiver is NOT 4k but it is HDCP 2.2. I just picked up the Sony 4k BR player yesterday. This unit has 2 HDMI outputs. One I am using to output video to TV and the other one is AUDIO OUT only and is going to my receiver. The picture comes through beautifully on my TV but the sound cuts in and out on the receiver with the receiver showing HDCP error. I kept messing with settings on TV and receiver and BR player and no fix. On my TV I have 2 HDMI cables going into the TV. One is from my receiver for all my non-4k items. The 2ns cable is the one coming from the new 4k player. I noticed that when I unplugged the HDMI cable from the tv that was coming from the receiver, then the 4k worked perfectly...video and audio and the HDCP error on my receiver went away. When I plugged that HDMI from the receiver back to the TV the problem started again. Thoughts? Fixes?

Will it go with Taga Harmony TAV-506 V.2 ?
