About this player

Why use Dune HD Homatics Box R 4K Plus with HDfury Arcana?

This media player is popular for streaming and local media files. Correct passthrough and a suitable EDID are especially important with Plex, Kodi and files containing Dolby TrueHD, Atmos, DTS-HD or DTS:X.

Arcana extracts audio from the HDMI signal before a TV or projector can restrict it. A compatible soundbar or receiver can therefore receive the best available soundtrack while the video signal continues to the display.

  • After installation, verify that the TV reports the correct resolution and HDR mode.
  • Check the Sonos app or receiver display to confirm that Dolby Atmos or the intended surround format is received.
  • Only force EDID or scaling when the automatic configuration is not stable.
