What are the HDMI ARC and CEC features on my RCA soundbar?

Asked 6 months ago
The HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) and CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) features on your RCA soundbar enhance your audio experience. HDMI ARC allows for bi-directional audio transmission, enabling the soundbar to receive audio signals from your TV while also sending audio from other devices, like Blu-ray players or gaming consoles, back to the TV through a single HDMI cable. This eliminates the need for multiple cables and simplifies your setup. CEC, on the other hand, enables seamless control of multiple devices through a single remote. With CEC, you can adjust the soundbar volume, power it on/off, and control other connected devices, all from your TV remote. These features enhance convenience, streamline connectivity, and offer a more immersive home theater experience.
