About this player

Why use Google TV Streamer 4K with HDfury Arcana?

This streaming solution is often used for Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV+, Prime Video and other apps. Correct HDMI and audio settings prevent Dolby Atmos from being reduced to stereo or compressed audio.

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.
