FAQ
Can Arcana2 accept 4K60 4:4:4 or any HDR signal and have the output at lower resolution?
Yes, when connected correctly to the right downscale output port (TX1), Arcana2 will automatically scale
down UHD to FHD if required by the connected SINK (Display, AVR or others).
My display is supposed to accept 4K60 4:4:4 signals but it does not work?
For most UHD TV set we tried, there are always extra configuration options to active in order to achieve
a 4K60 4:4:4 600MHz link. For ex, on samsung: in order to enable the 444 colorspace for 4k in Samsung
TV’s you must go to "settings" and "hdmi" and "UHD color" and enable it. Then also you must assign the
HDMI port1 as "PC" in the tools menu. Only after these two steps will 600MHz be accepted. Similar
activation tricks are required on most UHD TV’s. Additionally, most UHD TV’s only have specific ports
that are 600MHz capable.
I have a PC mode on my TV (or a PC monitor) what resolutions are supported for graphics mode?
All PC graphics mode within the 1200MHz bandwidth are supported, including ultra-high resolution such
as WQSXGA, QUXGA, QFHD, WQUXGA, 4K and 8K.
What input/output resolution does the Arcana support in HDTV mode?
All known SD, HD, Full HD and UHD formats are supported including: 480i50,480i60, 480p50, 480p60,
576p50, 576p60, 720p50, 720p60, 720p100, 720p120, 1080i25, 1080i30, 1080p24, 1080p25, 1080p30,
1080p48, 1080p50, 1080p60, 1080p72, 1080p75, 1080p96, 1440p50, 1440p60, 2160p24, 2160p25,
2160p30, 2160p50, 2160p60 (these are examples only, anything within the 1200MHz bandwidth is
supported.)
What version of HDMI does the Arcana2 work with? Do I need HDMI 1.3/1.4a/2.0a/2.0b/2.1? Does it
matter?
It does not matter. HDfury Arcana2 works with any version of HDMI from 1.0 and up.
Do I need to set anything special in my HDMI source device to set the resolution correctly?
No. The HDfury Arcana2 will be detected as 2160p120 4:4:4 10b or 8K60 4:2:0 10b capable device by the
source and it will always accept and process the highest quality stream from your source devices. There
is no need to set the HDMI source to any specific resolution.
Is there any latency (delay) introduced to the signal?
Virtually none. The latency added is in the order of a few pixel clocks only. Nothing noticeable at all.
What about long HDMI cable runs? Can I expect issues?
For 600MHz users must use "high speed" cables, or 600MHz/18Gbps certified, ideally the length should
be between 6ft and 12ft for proper 600MHz/18Gbps pass-thru. For 4K30, 1080p or less almost all cables
are ok. HDfury Arcana acts as a HDMI repeater device. So having HDfury Arcana in the path will amplify
and recover the signal. You should not need any passive (or active) HDMI amplifiers, especially if you put
the HDfury Arcana in the middle of your cable run. If you previously had to use an amplifier, the HDfury
Arcana can most likely take its place. The HDfury Arcana has been used with 50 foot (and longer) HDMI
cables without issues including copper, active or fiber solutions.
For 1200MHz, make sure that you are using 1200MHz certified or tested HDMI 8K cable in copper or
fiber tech if you plan to set up a 1200MHz/40Gbps link in your setup.
Disclaimer: 3rd party and/or custom firmware providing extra features are not covered in this manual.
How are the new lossless audio formats via HDMI input handled? E.g. DTS-HD/MA and DD/E-AC3: Are
they stripped down to DTS core or Dolby Digital respectively to fit the requirements of the S/PDIF
standard?
HDfury Arcana2 does not compress or otherwise down convert the incoming audio.
I notice a short black screen / resync when starting a content that i didn't have or noticed when
connected direct to TV?
All that is normal, you will have the same if you insert any device in between, like an AVR, splitter,
matrix, switcher, video processor, and the more device you have in the same chain, the longer this will
take, the only way to have that nearly not noticeable is SOURCE > DISPLAY direct since signal goes
straight to panel driver.
if menu is 60Hz and content 24Hz then there will be a resync like for any video format change, if you
have SOURCE > TV, then sure you never noticed it but insert any device in between and you will have
the exact same, just normal, HDMI resync
Can i power Arcana from USB port to avoid another ac plug?
There is no exact answer to that, power consumption depends on signal bandwidth, to be optimal 5V2A
is best (we always recommend higher specs than real consumption, so everything runs cool). In reality
you need around 5V 1.5A to operate perfectly at max capabilities.
A classic/single USB port as per specs is 5V 0.5A max normally, in such case, unit won't get enough
power.
However, USB ports are usually built and implemented using 4 ports USB HUB chipset, and most of the
time, the power is shared thru all of them, that means that if you only use 1 of them, then you can get
up to 5V 2A from it. So, if you have a device with 4 USB ports and you only use one of them for 8K
Arcana, then it should work just fine.

FAQ CEC/ARC
Make sure your TV audio format is set to Bitstream or Dolby Digital until SONOS Arc support multi-
channel PCM on upcoming release.
ARC/CEC features added during development due to people request are not yet flawless on all display
brands/models and will need many updates to become anywhere close to perfect simply because CEC is
25 years old coming from old scart age in Europe. There is no standard for it and every manufacturer
implements it as they want it.
If ARC is not working well yet out of the box, you can turn OFF option called TV ARC ROUTING in AUDIO
menu or turn off TV ARC and/or CEC or not use TV ARC input till there is a next update available and you
can retry.
There might be several different settings to try, example on Sony TVs: some got their displays ARC sound
working after using the Sony CEC reset commands listed.
eARC ONLY option might need to be changed to TV+Display or Auto for ARC/HDMI selection to work on
some display, so make sure you tried that too.
For any CEC/ARC issues, you can try the below:
1) Turn TV OFF / wait a few minutes / Turn ON.
2) Unplug / wait a few minutes / Replug TV powercord.
3) Turn TV CEC OFF then back ON (if many source at TV inputs, try adding them one by one slowly)
4) Unplug/Replug HDMI cable going to SONOS Arc.
5) Turn OFF and then back ON, Arcana and Source.
6) FACTORY RESET ARCANA (Click rotary button to enter menu and go to FW/RESET, click again to
enter sub-menu, then go to FACTORY RESET and confirm by clicking)
HDMI cables need to be good enough, that's why first step is not VOLUME CONTROL or CEC or ARC. First
step is to make sure SOURCE > ARCANA2 > DISPLAY play any content correctly without issue to make
sure the HDMI LINK is SOLID, then only people should consider volume control / CEC / ARC stuff.
Samsung CEC/ARC help: Visit here.
Vizio TV CEC/ARC help:
1. From the AUDIO menu on your TV, change the Digital Audio Setting to Dolby Digital or Bitstream.
2. From the AUDIO menu, disable the TV’s internal speakers.
3. From the SYSTEM menu, enable CEC Function.

FAQ ATV4K
How should I set ATV4K if I’m trying to display DV content from LLDV source to a HDR10 display?
Video set to 4K Dolby Vision.
Match Range set to Off.
Results in everything being output in DV, when you have an HDFury device spoofing an LLDV display.
Video set to 4K SDR.
Match Range set to On.
SDR is output as SDR, HDR as HDR, and DV as DV (with the spoofing).
Note that when you start up the ATV4K the first time after configuring the LLDV EDID in the HDfury
device, the ATV4K should bring up a prompt asking if you want to test for Dolby Vision compatibility.
You need to pass this test before any LLDV would be output. Passing the DV test will set video to 4K
Dolby VIsion, so you would need to reset it to 4K SDR if that is your preferred option.
Also, if you ever change the configured EDID, the ATV4K will notice and ask you to test for Dolby VIsion
compatibility again. Once you pass the test with a particular EDID, the ATV4K will remember the next
time you configure that EDID and not ask to test Dolby Vision again.
There is an additional option: Match Frame Rate that will output the same frame rate as the source is
encoded rather than always upscaling to 4K60. Although the ATV4K currently does not support content
encoded at true 24P. It will output true 24P as 23P that results in frame drops that may or may not be
noticeable.
Netflix on ATV4K only show 5.1 titles?
One tip to save other Apple TV users some confusion, it may not say Atmos in the menu of the app (ex
5.1 in Netflix) you’re using at first, but as long as you see Atmos under audio settings, just begin playing
content you know supports Atmos and the app will adjust. Prime Video and Netflix seems similar in this
regard. As for titles we know have Atmos, Prime video has Jack Ryan, Netflix The Old Guard and Disney +
the Mandalorian. Each of those is platform original and there for should be available in every region.
If you verify audio format with SONOS APP, make sure to restart it fully before checking.
After having installed Arcana2, i am no longer able to control the SONOS Arc volume when using the
ATV4K remote?
A: Re-sync the ATV4K remote with the SONOS Arc.
From within the app, settings -> system -> under products select your arc setup -> near the bottom
there is “remote control setup” then follow the onscreen instructions
TV does not turn off when i turn off ATV4K and/or sound continue to play when i turn off ATV4K
Arcana2 will stop sending sound if display at output is turned off. It is an user selectable option under
OLED MENU>AUDIO>TV STANDBY MUTE ON (OFF by default).
First verify in ATV4K Settings > Remotes and Devices > make sure Control TV and Receivers is on and
Volume Control is set to via HDMI (Auto via HDMI)
Then make sure that ATV4K is NOT set to NEVER SLEEP!
Disclaimer: 3rd party and/or custom firmware providing extra features are not covered in this manual.
Some users also reported success by toggling above ATV4K option OFF>ON and some had success by
toggling TV CEC OFF>ON.
Actually there is an interesting caveat. With Sleep set to any time period and you are on the Apple TV
homescreen, using the TV remote will turn the Apple TV off. If you have something playing with sound
(ex. Channels TV app or Plex) the Apple TV won't turn off. ATV4K behavior
Alternatively, if TV does not turn OFF from ATV4K, you can try this trick/tips:
Here’s the deal with HDMI CEC on my LG OLED. The Apple TV will send the ‘On’ command through
HDMI. But the TV will not accept any ‘Off’ commands through HDMI therefore the Apple TV will send an
‘Off’ command through the remotes IR. When turning off your ATV, keep holding the remote towards
the TV and it will turn off the TV. Works every time.
I cannot get Atmos from ATV4K but I can from other source.
Make sure your Apple TV 4K Audio setting Change Format is turned off. If you had it turned on to get at
least Dolby Digital 5.1 out of your TV before you got 8K Arcana. Turn Change Format off, ATV4K will then
detect the Arcana as Atmos compatible.
I can get Atmos from all sources and all apps but not from Netflix on Shield 2019 or ATV4K?
If you can get Atmos on Prime and Disney + from both devices no problem but never better than 5.1
from Netflix – simply go into your Netflix account setting on a Laptop and check your audio payback
setting and make sure it is set to high and not any lower and restart your source.
My ATV4K remote is not working for SONOS Arc volume control?
ATV4K source remote is different because it just waits if there is “audio system” device on the network
that it can control. If there is then it shown in the remote menu “hdmi control(via receiver)”
That will only work if the source sees an audio system in the CEC network.
It is just ATV4K trying to discover if audio system is present or waiting for Sonos to advertise it is there.
Of course sometimes when there is no audio then Sonos is not active and then volume doesn’t do
anything, if no sound going then volume doesn’t blink it (white led on SONOS Arc)

FAQ LLDV>HDR10
What is LLDV and why is it used?
Dolby Labs created LLDV for Sony Dolby Vision TVs. HDfury enables the sending of LLDV to HDR10 TVs
and projectors
How to turn on LLDV>HDR?
1. In LLDV > HDR sub-menu set it ON.
2. In HDR sub-menu, set LLDV sync or HDR option to AUTO
You might need to restart your source.
If you have the Arcana2 set so the ATV4K sends Dolby Vision LLDV instead of HDR10, the ATV skips the
DV to HDR conversion and directly tone maps the Dolby Vision source to LLDV. The result can be
amazingly better to have the Arcana output the LLDV from the ATV4K as HDR10 than have the ATV4K
sending HDR10 to your TV.
What is the difference in LLDV>HDR on and HDR auto vs LLDV sync
With LLDV>HDR ON. HDR Auto will send custom HDR for LLDV, but not for any other input. Colors
should always be correct. If you will send SDR, HDR10, or LLDV to the Arcana depending on the original
content type, it is best to leave HDR to Auto. If you only send LLDV to the Arcana then you can set HDR
to LLDV Sync. Refer to page 14 for more details on LLDV Sync option behavior.
If I have a less than full bandwidth 18Gbps display or PJ can I still view LLDV?
Yes as long it supports HDR. Most DV content is actually 4K24 so if you set Match Frame Rate to ON your
projector might be able to accept 4K24 422 12bit.
For example The Epson 6040 is limited to 4K60 4:2:0 8-bit. It can support 4K24 4:2:2 12-bit HDR (or LLDV
to HDR) as that signal is under the 10.2 Gbps limitation of the chipset used in the Epson 6040.
Also there is no such thing as 422 10-bit in the HDMI specs. And 444 10-bit is a higher bandwidth than
422 12-bit.
I have a display that supports HDR and Dolby Vision should i set the Arcana for LLDV to HDR
conversion?
No, it is not necessary to have the 8K Arcana convert LLDV to HDR10 if your display supports Dolby
Vision, except if it’s DV30 only and you want/need to overcome this limitation.
What series LG OLEDS support both full Dolby Vision and also LLDV?
The LG OLEDs from 7 series on support both full Dolby Vision and LLDV.
What is Maximum Luminance and MaxCLL value in Dolby Vision?
LLDV to HDR conversion for Maximum Luminance only affects LLDV output and not full Dolby Vision. The
Maximum Luminance value tells the player what the maximum brightness your TV is capable of. The
player takes that into account when tone mapping full Dolby Vision to LLDV.
There is a Maximum Luminance value in the Dolby Vision data block that can be adjusted in the LLDV-
>HDR settings. Its default value is 1000 nits and is used to tell the player what max luminance to use
when tone mapping the Dolby Vision content to LLDV. There is also a nits option value in the HDR
settings of the 8K Arcana. This value may or may not be used by the HDR TV when tone mapping HDR
input. The only way to determine how it is used is to adjust the value and check the results. Changing
Disclaimer: 3rd party and/or custom firmware providing extra features are not covered in this manual.
the HDR nits value should have an immediate effect, if any. Typically, lowering the nits value will result
in a brighter picture at the risk of clipping highlights. It might seem counter intuitive but telling the TV
that the content has a lower max luminance means that the TV does not need to use as much
compression to reduce the dynamic range of the content to fit the range that the TV is capable of
displaying. Too much compression is what results in an overly dark picture. If the HDR TV has Dynamic
Tone Mapping, the HDR metadata might not be used at all when tone mapping. So changing the
metadata nit values would make no difference in the result. You could turn off DTM and see if changing
nit values makes a difference in the resulting picture.
So basically, The HDfury Arcana2 tells the player what the max luminance is; the player then performs
tone mapping of the full Dolby Vision signal to LLDV taking the max luminance value into account. It is
not a simple brightness adjustment.
The Force 1000/2000/4000 nits options and the Boost option adjust the MaxCLL value in the HDR
metadata in the output. The Max Luminance value is not changed and is always output as 4000 nits. So if
your HDR TV uses Max Luminance in tone mapping the results after changing the HDR nits values may
be lessened. HDR Max Luminance is the maximum luminance of the HDR grading monitor used when
creating the HDR. Titles graded with a 4000 nit monitor are referred to as Mastered at 4000 nits.
MaxCLL represents the brightest pixel contained in any frame of the content. Most newer TV models use
MaxCLL and have less reliance on Max Lum. Changing the LLDV nits value may need a restart of the title
depending on the player. ATV4K is probably the worst player for testing different values since each time
an adjustment is made it requires a new test for Dolby Vision. This is because the Max Luminance value
is contained in the EDID presented to the player. The ATV4K recognized the EDID had changed and
wants you to test Dolby Vision again.
Why when I select a new EDID do the ATV4K want to retest Dolby Vision?
The ATV4K keeps a memory of successful EDIDs. If you configure a new EDID it will ask to retest Dolby
Vision and/or HDR. But the next time you configure that same tested EDID it won't ask to test again.
What value should the LLDV value for max Lum be set to for most users?
For most users, the default LLDV value for Max Lum of 1000 nits will be good. Most HDR TVs do a good
job of tone mapping 1000 nits. And if you set the HDR setting to LLDV Sync, the HDR MaxCLL metadata
value sent to the TV will always match the value set for LLDV.
Why do I have a red tint and colors that are too saturated?
If you set the DV primaries to DCI-P3 and send the LLDV to a display device that does not have a DCI-P3
color profile; the colors, when applying a BT2020 color profile instead, will appear more saturated
including a red tint noticeable on faces. The solution is to send BT2020 and not DCI-P3.
If you have a display that supports DCI-P3 but the fire stick 4k only supports RGB and YCbCr how can
you force it to output DCI-P3?
When you set the LLDV->HDR Primaries setting to DCI-P3, the Fire Stick is told that the TV wants DCI-P3
instead of BT2020. Even though the Fire Stick may not have a DCI-P3 color format output option, the
Dolby Vision to LLDV tone mapping performed by the Dolby provided software should output DCI-P3
colors. The ATV4K does not have a DCI-P3 output option and it does send DCI-P3 colors when the DV
EDID is configured to DCI-P3.

How do you set the Oppo UDP 203/205 to output LLDV instead of Dolby vision?
In Oppo HDR Setting, set Dolby Vision Processing to Player-led. You can leave HDR to Auto if you only
want LLDV for Dolby Vision discs. If you want the Oppo to convert SDR and HDR10 to LLDV, set HDR to
Dolby Vision.
How do you tell if the Oppo UDP 203/205 is setup correctly and outputting LLDV?
Do a long press on the Oppo remote Information button. Scroll down to Output Information. You should
see: Format Dolby Vision and Color Space 12-bit. That is confirmation of LLDV output from the Oppo.
If I have a less than full bandwith 18Gbps projector can I still view LLDV?
It depends on the projector. Most DV content is actually 4K24 so if you set Match Frame Rate to ON
your projector might be able to accept 4K24 422 12bit.
For example The Epson 6040 is limited to 4K60 4:2:0 8-bit. It can support 4K24 4:2:2 12-bit HDR (or LLDV
to HDR) as that signal is under the 10.2 Gbps limitation of the chipset used in the Epson 6040.
Also there is no such thing as 422 10-bit in the hdmi specs. And 444 10-bit is a higher bandwidth than
422 12-bit.

FAQ SONOS Arc
Audio cuts in and out, what could it be?
If the audio cuts in and out on a SONOS Arc, try power cycling it (unplug the power cord, wait a few
seconds, and then plug it back in).
It seems there is distortion or surround channel cutting in and out, what could it be?
If anything weird is happening with your video or audio, your FIRST step should be to make sure the
HDMI cables between your source and the Arcana2 and between the Arcana2 and your TV/PJ are known
to be good at full speed (We recommend Zeskit, Kabeldirekt or Cable Matters from Amazon). Even if you
sent 4K60 video with Atmos over the cables and the Arcana showed the full 600MHz speed, and even if
they pass the built-in Apple TV 4K Dolby Vision tests, there may still be intermittent errors, like
distortion or surround channels cutting in and out. Many users finally determined the problem to be
caused by a 1-foot cable between Arcana2 and their displays. Use only cables that are at least 6 feet/2
meters and max 12 feet/4 meters for copper. We recommend using SONOS supplied cable from Arcana2
eARC output to SONOS Arc.

FAQ NVIDIA SHIELD
Why my Shield is not offering Atmos from all APPS?
There are several factors, the Shield model: Shield 2017 or Shield 2019/2020/Pro, the APP in use and the
TV maximum capabilities. Arcana offer dedicated Scaler mode that will advertise full 4K HDR/SDR or
LLDV at input even if your display is only 10.2Gbps or 1080p capable. However please understand that
sending HDR or LLDV signal to a SDR display will results in washed out colors. If your TV is only SDR
capable, only use a SDR scaler mode such as 4K60 444 8b SDR. Make sure to always reboot the Shield
after changing the scaler setting

If you can get Atmos on Prime and Disney + from both devices no problem but never better than 5.1
from Netflix – simply go into your Netflix account setting on a Laptop and check your audio payback
setting and make sure it is set to high and not any lower and restart your source.
Prime APP on Nvidia Shield 2019 is not giving me Atmos?
Try turning off Dolby Audio processing.

FAQ AUDIO
I hear an audio echo?
If anyone is having issues with echo on your audio, the problem may be that the audio channel being
sent to your TV is actually getting played through the built-in TV speakers (which is hard to notice when
your sound bar is right in front of or below your TV) and you're hearing two sets of speakers slightly out
of sync. Checking the sound-output setting on your TV will confirm if that is the cause. You can fix it by
setting your Arcana2 to eARC-only mode, so no audio gets sent to TV and you only hear audio from
eARC sound bar.
I’m experiencing lip-sync issue after installing 8K Arcana?
The only possible situation with HDMI source at Arcana input is that audio is AHEAD of pic. You can fix it
with SONOS APP delay or Arcana2 delay. AUDIO cannot be LATE (assuming you did not force delay
yourself via SONOS APP or Arcana2). For folks with an Apple TV, the Wireless Audio Sync feature will
automatically and very accurately take care of remaining (audio before video) sync. It didn't work before
Arcana because it can't delay video and got confused.
My TV displays unsupported audio format banner continuously, what can I do?
Some TV will go nuts/crazy if you send ATMOS signal to their input, probably the Atmos MAT metadata
of it that they don't like, in such case eARC ONLY must be selected under Arcana2 > Audio so NO ATMOS
is sent to the TV.
Actually anyone with any issue should try that especially if issue when playing Atmos only!
Verified/Affected models: Sony XF9005 - X900F and Samsung UN75NU6950FXZA
I cannot always get Atmos at startup?
Please ensure the source is connected to the Arcana's HDMI input and then pick and use a scaler mode
in Arcana2 OLED MENU > SCALER that is an appropriate match setting for your display. This has been
proven to fix the issue 100%. If you do not get Atmos from source at Arcana2 input with Scaler mode, it
is 100% Settings issue, GUARANTEED.
I cannot get any sound to a brand new/never used SONOS Arc from any source at Arcana input when
Arcana is connected to a non CEC capable projector/monitor or display
In order to get audio from any sources at Arcana2 input, users of brand new/never used SONOS Arc
must go through the APP setup process while connected to a CEC capable display, if you never when
through the SONOS APP setup process with your SONOS Arc soundbar yet, please connect it to any
HDMI display that offer CEC support and complete the SONOS APP setup process, once done you can
connect it back in your setup with a non CEC capable display, monitor or TV and you will be able to get
Full Audio from any source to SONOS Arc as expected. This SONOS restriction requires such initial setup
first with CEC capable display. If your SONOS Arc has been setup before, then there is no need to set it
up again after Arcana2 is connected and you can just proceed normally.

FAQ VIDEO
I notice a short black screen / resync when starting a content that i didn't have or noticed when
connected direct to TV?
All that is normal, you will have the same if you insert any device in between, like an AVR, splitter,
matrix, switcher, video processor, and the more device you have in the same chain, the longer this will
take, the only way to have that nearly not noticeable is SOURCE > DISPLAY direct since signal goes
straight to panel driver.
If menu is 60Hz and content 24Hz then there will be a resync like for any video format change, if you
have SOURCE > TV, then sure you never noticed it but insert any device in between and you will have
the exact same, just normal, HDMI resync.
My TV brightness seems to fluctuate, what can I do?
Some TV will go nuts/crazy if you send ATMOS signal to their input, probably the Atmos MAT metadata
of it that they don't like, in such case eARC ONLY must be selected under Arcana > Audio so NO ATMOS
is sent to the TV.
Actually anyone with any issue should try that especially if issue when playing Atmos only!
Verified/Affected models: Sony XF9005 - X900F and Samsung UN75NU6950FXZA
I have loss of sync, drop or black screen playing high bandwidth signals?
This is a cable issue, replace cables by Zeskit, Cable Matters or KabelDirekt from Amazon in
min6ft/max12ft and you will be fine. If you need fiber cable for high bandwidth in 30ft(10m) or
60ft(20m), please visit this page.

FAQ ARC or eARC <> HDMI input switching How to use Arcana2 when retrieving ARC sound from display? Always use the display remote (or the display remote IR codes with a universal remote) to switch between TV HDMI input and TV APPS. It is mandatory and extremely important to use your TV remote or TV remote IR codes to switch between TV APPS (ARC sound) and the TV HDMI input where Arcana2 is connected. Whenever you click TV remote APP selection or input channel selection there will be a multitude of CEC commands flying. Arcana2 capturing these are essential to switching the audio. Please verify this is the case carefully so it is consistent and ok. We expect this to be one of the main issues due to the flakiness of CEC implementations overall in consumer video. Also verify TV other inputs to make sure audio flows through TV ARC into Arcana2 and then to SONOS. Please note that if you don’t use CEC and ARC sound retrieval, then the above is irrelevant. How I can switch between TV ARC and HDMI INPUT? For HDMI/ARC switching to work, when you use your TV remote and select APPS on TV, then ARCANA2 should switch to ARC(From TV) on the main OLED page, when you use your TV remote and select HDMI input where Arcana2 is connected, then Arcana2 OLED should report eARC HDMI INPUT. As long as this does not work correctly it means that ARC/CEC is not working as it should and you should try new update when they comes out and report back via our discord support server: here. When TV sees a source it asks the source what it is. The source responds it is “audio system”. Then TV starts ARC and turns off its own TV speakers and allows TV remote volume control to pass as CEC commands. Now all audio either from TV apps or routed to TV via TV HDMI inputs will flow back via ARC. To enable HDMI audio from Arcana2 input then Arcana2 must be instructed to switch to its own input audio rather than use the ARC from TV. This happens with two ways: TV remote is used to select the input where Arcana is connected OR the Arcana2 input source issues routing change -message which happens when you press Menu button on ATV4K for example When Arcana2 is rebooted this entire sequence is interrupted and all start from scratch and again the timing when SONOS Arc tells “audio system” vs when ATV4K source send its routine message is random. Arcana play no role in that, Arcana2 only listens to these commands and they come randomly after power up. Sometimes TV is first and sometimes ATV4K is first so the startup selection by Arcana will be random It is only in sequence if you never reboot Arcana2. If you see "eARC/ARC not active" on Arcana OLED > click Netflix or APPS on TV remote to enter ARC mode and then click HDMI (or wherever Arcana is) to have TV select HDMI input. On some TVs you might need to set MENU > AUDIO > AUTO (instead of eARC ONLY Disclaimer: 3rd party and/or custom firmware providing extra features are not covered in this manual.
FAQ TV Remote for Volume Control on SONOS Arc
How to use TV remote for controlling SONOS Arc volume?
Please note that this DOES NOT apply to SOURCE REMOTE for volume control.
In basic principle the only way that TV remote can start working is that TV enters "system audio" mode
(it’s a different mode from "audio system"). The only possible way for a TV to enter a "system audio"
mode is by receiving a certain command via CEC. In "system audio" mode TV mutes its own speakers
and starts controlling external products via CEC commands. The only equipment issuing this command is
SONOS Arc. No other device can control TV to enter this mode. Anyone having issue where TV remote
does not work then it means SONOS Arc has not yet issued the command or TV have not yet reacted to
it. As long as TV does not mute its TV speaker, then TV remote control for volume will not work.
Solution could be:
1) Turn TV CEC OFF>ON or CEC SCAN
Some TVs might have delay after CEC ON to detect equipment.
2) SONOS HDMI cable unplug/replug
Some TVs might have delay after SONOS replug to detect it and switch to "system audio" mode.
3) SONOS power cord remove/reconnect
Some TVs might have delay after SONOS replug to detect it and switch to "system audio" mode.
4) TV Power cord unplug, wait 3min, replug
Some TVs might have delay after power cord unplug/replug to switch to "system audio" mode.
5) Some order or power up sequence might need to be found in particular setup.
6) Unplug/replug Arcana2 HDMI Out or Arcana > FW/RESET > Factory Default.
It can help if luckily that is corresponding to option number 5 above in your setup.

HDCP workaround solution including HDCP 2.2 > HDCP 1.4 and HDCP 1.4 > HDCP 2.2 both ways
conversion within the same unit. It is capable of connecting any HDCP1.x or HDCP2.x source devices to
any HDCP1.x or HDCP 2.x sink devices. RX block decrypts the input first whether its 1.x or 2.x. Then
output port can individually encrypt it to 1.4 or 2.2 or not encrypt it at all if it was not encrypted initially.
Display HDCP 2.2 Content with Non-HDCP2.2 Compliant Devices
HDCP 2.2 is the new copy-protection scheme for 4K UHD content. Source devices, including media
servers and head-ends like Netflix, will encode their 4K content with this new scheme. TVs must be
HDCP 2.2-enabled to play it, and everything in the video chain including switches and receivers must be
compliant as well, or the display will go dark and/or display a HDCP error message. Bad news for
consumers who have purchased expensive, high-bandwidth, processor-rich switchers, receivers and
displays to accommodate 4K. Once Arcana2 is an active part of your setup such issue will not bother you
ever again.

Pro Tips
-Dolby Vision: DV mode 0 and 1 travels thru 8b RGB container, so it is normal that Arcana report RGB 8b when
playing such DV mode. If Arcana is not directly connected to your DV TV and you have equipment in between,
please first connect Arcana T0 output to your TV input and let Arcana boot up. Then disconnect and insert
equipment in between. Arcana will sniff the DV string from your TV EDID and present it to your source, therefor
allowing you to go thru equipment that doesn’t support Dolby Vision.
- HDMI TX0 Output is CEC/ARC and eARC capable.
- iRule use \x0D instead of \r (or \x0A for /n) to terminate the RS232 command string.
- Some sources like X1S or K8500 might need to have powercord removed/reconnected between EDID changes
- Atmos via ARC require HDMI Cable that support 192khz ARC, even if a cable support 1200MHz video signal it can
still fail for 192khz audio signal.
- Any 4:2:2 signals is always processed at 12b and never clipped. That’s why it mentions “up to 12b”.
- Source VS Arcana frame rate reported: Actually very few devices will report the correct frame rate. It is all about
the clock frequency, the theory is 24/1.001 = 23.976023976
BUT there is no PLL (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-locked_loop) at the source that actually gives a
corresponding clock which would yield that. So once a signal leaves the source, the clock is always off and usually
ebbs and flows, means change all the time. We just decided to show what it really is from the particular source
rather than approximating what it should be as many are doing since they cannot report exact frame rate like we
are doing with Arcana.
