HDMI ARC With Denon & Control4


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I am planning a Control4 Install and have a few questions about ARC compatibility. In this case I would have a smart TV (Sony or other brands) with HDMI ARC support and a Denon AVR (Also with ARC support). Both devices will be IP controlled. I also have an EA-1 connected to the Denon receiver via HDMI. Will Control4 be able to switch the TV and Denon AVR to ARC when watching content on the smart tv, however still use it normally when watching content from a Blu-Ray player (Connected to the AVR via HDMI). My goal is to only have to run 1 cable for audio and video between the smart TV and AVR. 

Thanks for the help!

AppleTV you'll have basic control (new paid 3rd party driver promises some app selection control, cannot confirm if that is working yet) - Roku with Control4 made driver gives you full control, including so-called mini app selection (ie instead of selecting Roku (or AppleTV), then find the app in the interface, you just have a list of 'Netflix/Disney+/Whatever) on your remote and it will auto-start that app directly.

 

If you really like the AppleTV menu..well I wouldn't stop you at all, but you really don't NEED the menu with a Roku (other options do exist, Roku at this point is just the safest bet) - and image quality is frankly equal. For a half the price, and no paid driver.
