I've been trying to upgrade my living room setup which is basically an old 2018 TV, and your videos have helped me a lot in figuring out my options on how to try and make it all work together. Thanks!
2021 product of the year! Thx, Jonah. This item just saved man-kind from heart-ache, made my 2017 Sony 900E look just stunning when set to LLDV to HDR with this thing. Tone mapping and nit brightness really works better in DV.
May I ask you 2 questions: 1) does the HDFury text at the bottom of the tv screen go away after a little bit? 2) did you have to update the HDFury firmware? My MacBook won’t bring it up when I connect them together. Is it really necessary or can I just plug and play without updating? (Waiting on my soundbar to arrive) - Sonos ARC
I have been watching many reviews of Sonas Arc and associated problems. I have retired my Bose AV18 after 12 years. It all started with the purchase of a new Samsung QLED 75" TV, excellent picture for my room size. The Sonas Arc, Gen3 sub and 2 One SL makes excellent sound very happy with system. I have a EPSON 1080p projector got the HD fury and HDR HDMI Matrix 4x2 matrix (HDMX0012M1) all works seamless have projector, blueray, chromecast, sattelite TV 4k, system supports Dolby Atoms scales 1080p to 4k all works perfect. Your advice on HD fury and Sonas devices spot on.
I am looking at a similar setup. Can you tell me how it all goes together? I have a projector with no eArc output and want to get the Sonos Arc. Thank you!
I ordered my HD Fury from your link and receive the 5% discount. Took about four days to arrive. Its setup took my just a few minutes. Sounds great! So glad I bought this to go with my Sonos Arc system. I made the purchase with PayPal on the website and it did look a little suspicious but it worked. Thanks for the discount!
@@JonahMatthes Question if I have a sons arc and nvidia shield tv but my tv does only only ultra sournd and no atoms and no Dolby will this play the videos and give me better audio..
Good review. I was the fence about ordering this until i saw your video and placed an order for the HDFury Arcana and Vertex2 splitter so my sources can utilize the passthrough features. thank you
Very thanks to HDFury Arcana ,my Sony TV x930e does have only ARC and with this now I can connect my TV to my LG SN11rg HDMI eARC soundbar with no problems :D

Jonah, just ran across this video and just placed my order. Can't wait to get it and will let you know how it worked with my new JBL 9.1 sound bar and my TCL QLED series 6 625 model that only had ARC. Thanks for the tip man! Mention it more often. lol
Hi mate ,love your channel - very informative thanks so much. Quick question - Do i need to buy an apple TV to use this as intended or can i use this as the " go between" my TV & Sonos soundbar?? Thanks mate again..
I can't belive that I have not come across this video ages ago... I got unlucky buying an ARC TV at the end of 2019 and I have been trying to output Atmos ever since... I hope this will solve it!
I wanted to share my experience: - Bought Sonos Arc last week - I have an Optoma Cinemax P2 with no e-arc - thank you for this video, watched on Monday and promptly ordered the Arcana (thanks for the code) - it was supposed to arrive Friday but it got here Wednesday!!! - I also ordered the RooFull Premium 5 port HDMI switch from Amazon - I am now sitting in my couch enjoying atmos in my PS4, SHIELD and HTPC all flawlessly controlled through Logitech Harmony THANK YOU 🙏
This is the exact set up that we are considering (Sonos Arc + Arcana + Optoma Cinemax P2). Do you have a picture of your set up? I'm trying to figure out how to place the Arc in relation to the Cinemax P2 since they'll both be sitting on the TV stand. Also, have you tried the 3D yet? How is the quality?
Great video. I recently got a Sonos arc. Got new tv earlier this year (Samsung) that doesn’t have eArc port. I’m not very tech savvy and was wondering, do I also need to have that tvpro box as well as the arcana or can I connect the arcana directly to my tv and Sonos arc?
If you got the Sony A7000 sound bar. You don’t need the HDFury. The sound bar has a Earc HDMI for Audio that goes the Apple TV or similar device. Then another HDMI for the TV or projector. I got the HDFury but didn’t have to use it.
Bought the Arcana to get Dolby Vision working with a Samsung QLED TV using a 2019 NVIDA Shield Pro. The Arcana converts Dolby Vision signals from LLDV (or is it LDV) sources into a compatible signal for use with non-Dolby compatible TVs. Refer to HDFury's website for additional details. Only issue is that the TV will not indicate a better signal than HDR. For example, Dolby Vision or HDR10+. This conversion will only work with LLDV sources and not regular DV sources. There are plenty of LLDV sources and LLDV is not limited to specific esoteric sources. In other words LLDV sources are quite common. For further info refer to the Arcana website.
What setting did you use for the Audio Selection on the arcana? I just got mine today and I’m not sure what to select. I have a earc soundbar and a Samsung series 8500 with just Arc. Thank you,Gary
Samsung choked at the pass after I purchased a Q80R 75" on a promise of an eArc firmware update. Samsung's retailer lied. Samsung had no intention of updating the ARC output to eArc. I had an HD Fury Vertex on a previous LG and it worked perfectly. So, I too bit the bullet (missed the 5% JONAH discount - ouch!) and placed an order. Thanks. Your video helped.
Thanks for your video about this product. I’m still unclear if it will work in my situation and how it increases the number or HDMI ports available. I have an Apple TV, a non-ARC/eARV tv, and a Sonos ARC. My thought is that I can plug my Apple TV into one port on the device (HDMI In) and then coming out the other end HDMI Out got to the TV and eARC goes to Sonos ARC. Is that correct?
May I ask you 2 questions: 1) does the HDFury text at the bottom of the tv screen go away after a little bit? 2) did you have to update the HDFury firmware? My MacBook won’t bring it up when I connect them together. Is it really necessary or can I just plug and play without updating? (Waiting on my soundbar to arrive) - Sonos ARC
Hi Jonah,/anyone I have brought arcana and connected, getting 4k Dolby Atmos only in netflix.there is no 4k and Atmos in Amazon prime and Disney plus??don't know why??pl need your assistance.streaming device:Chromecast with Google tv. Note:all new cables and tried with other HDMI port as well. Thanks
In case you are using DIRECTIONAL Fiber optic HDMI cables - obviously the APPLE TV (for example) will be the SOURCE connection ....Both OUTPUTS of HD FURY ARCANAS will be SOURCE connection > The TV or PROJECTOR will be DISPLAY connection .... SONOS ARC will also be DISPLAY connection
I recently installed a 7.2.6 Home Theater ...he had a 85 inch Samsung TV for display and the CEC (HDMI control ) was causing some major problems - such as you described - turn d off CEC and everything was working fine after that
Hey Jonah! Thanks so much for this review. I’ve recently purchased a full Sonos Arc system and I’m finding the lip sync to be a huge issue. I’ve purchased the Arcana although I’m waiting to receive it as it’s back ordered. Can you suggest a good HDMI Switch with at least 4 inputs that will allow for multiple HDMI inputs while not degrading audio quality? FYI my set is through my LG 65’’ OLED HDR CL8 - bought in 2018. It has a single Arc HDMI out. And three other normal HDMI inputs. Thanks so much Jonah!
Hey Luke, how did you get on with your Arcana? Did it resolve the lip sync. I’m experiencing that now as I just bought a Sonos Arc and don’t have an EARC tv.
2 big hifi stores in Sweden told me that of your tv/ projector doesnt support eArc it is IMPOSSIBLE to use eArc. So therefore I was planning to leave my arc back to the store since i have got open shop guarantee. But when I found your video review about this. I have achieved a hallelujah moment. I am wondering why the stores gave me that answere…
So, using the splitter its only possible to have the sound with the arc? Or its possible to shutdown the arc and use the speakers of the tv without disconnect the splitter? For example stream Musik to the arc using airplay 2 from iPhone AND watching any fitness tutorial on the tv?
Hi, I recently purchased the q990b samsung soundbar and connected my apple tv tv4k to it. My tv has only an arc connection. So is it required that I purchase HDfury arcana for full capabilities of lossless sound. Samsung q990b has two hdmi inputs and one hdmi earc ourput.
@@Cheese-Head HDFury is great about updates. Seem to release an update for each of their products At least once a month, if not twice. They will fix any reported issues. My optoma p1 had some dropout issues. I got the key to get hd audio(true HD and DTS MA) to my non arc receiver. Even with its minimal EDID management it solved all my dropout issues. I then started reading about the diva and once I found out you can essentially get Dolby Vision or HDR+ on an HDR10 display I was sold. Essentially it tricks the player, in my case the new Nvidia shield pro, into thinking our display can do Dolby Vision. The Diva then remaps the color tones to HDR10 in sub 1 milliseconds. You can really notice the difference. That is what that LLDV setting does. Not sure how much control you have on it with the arcana. With the diva you can inject your own HDR metadata for a better picture for both HDR and Dolby Vision. Here is how often they release updates. Go to downloads and you will see what I mean. www.hdfury.com/product/4k-diva-18gbps/
Hi there, so helpful! so, before I order it, I'd like to share my setup to try to confirm if it will work as expected. Up to this point my TV only allows me to DolbyDigital (non plus) codec audio output. I want to get Dolby Atmos. TV: Samsung Q70R, only HDMI ARC Apple TV 4K 2022, which sends the Dolby Atmos fully over eARC only Sound system: Sonos beam 2nd gen + 2 sonos One + Sonos Sub mini Philips HDMI Sync box, for the led strip ambilight and as a "hub" for all my HDMI connections (PS4. Apple TV) Currently, I have the TV ARC HDMI output connected to the Sonos beam, and the Apple TV as video input. I only get Dolby Digital 5.1 as maximum sound quality setup. Do you guys think I will succeed by putting the Arcana in between the Sonos beam + Philips HDMI sync box AND the TV?

Thank you for this. My LG TV is only hdmi arc and it doesn't output DTS audio via hdmi arc. When a DTS audio is input to the TV it will output PCM 2.0 audio to arc. I need something like this for my soundbar.
I might just get a 4k player that's has hdmi earc and bypass this issue altogether if I get a Sonos. My tv is a Samsung 2016 4k but only has hdmi arc. Still trying to decide between the Sonos arc or a Samsung sound bar SAMSUNG HW-Q950A
What if I just want to use my tv and sonos arc (without an external source)...how would the connection work? I am just interested to use the app (such as Tidal) on my android tv (BRAVIA x900f) and output ATMOS to Sonos ARc
Thanks for concise and well done video. Wondering if you can answer a question for me: My TV (Samsung Frame) has an HDMI eARC port and my sound bar (Yamaha YAS-209) only an HDMI ARC port, can the Arcana supply eARC to sound bar?
I watched your video this past Tuesday and I placed my order for the HDFury Arcana. I just received today from Tiawain via DHL. Total spent $231.00 I have Sonos Arc, Sub Gen 2 & Ones SL I connected Arcana and it’s amazing WOW Instead of buying a TV with Earc ( $4k plus) this just amazing. Im done spending money with this system and Arcana you can’t go wrong 😎
This is great. Been on the fence for a new soundbar as my last one of 7 years finally died. Been doing much reviews and came across your in-depth videos and with this device alone, I'm ok with spending the additional funds for proper sound. Just upgraded my TV in the last 2 years and don't plan on upgrading again for awhile. You definitely need to reach out to HDFURYARCANA for some sponsorship. Would definitely like a HDFURY for set-up on TV's and Soundbars alike. Thanks again for the great reviews!
Hi, I have a Philips oled805 TV with only an arc port. To connect to the TV, I used Sonos Arc + 2 one SL + 1 sub. So far, the built-in Netflix TV has performed admirably. I can play Dolby Atmos without any delay. However, when I connect my PS5 to the Philips TV and use the Dolby sound option in PS5, it shows dolby 5.1 but the sound has a 0.5 s delay, which I can clearly hear. When I switched it to PCM, there is no delay, but the soundbar was operating on a stereo model, which produces only two channels of sound, and the sound was very crisp. So I'm wondering if Aracna will fix the delay issue when I use PS5? Thanks
Why would I need this? I can plug my Apple TV directly into my Atmos capable sound bar (which sends the video to the TV via ARC). Been doing this for years. What would this product add?
Great vid! I currently have a Sonos arc, sub and suround speakers but am only getting lossy atmos. Is the difference in lossless that noticeable? Unsure if it’s worth the extra money
You won't hear the difference. Audiophiles will claim you can but 99.9% of people just won't hear a difference unless you have a very fine tuned $20k home cinema setup. Through a sound bar even the Sonos which sounds great, you won't notice it.
Hi Jonah! A big thanks for this video. I have a 2020 Samsung 4K Tv and a Sonos Arc. Apparently this model TV does not support DTS and now Sonos have updated with DTS support. Would the Arcana fix this so I get DTS sound?
Do the projector/tv need to be a 4K tv to get Dolby atmos together with the hd fury arcana ? I have a projector in Full hd in my bedroom. I use appletv 4k and Watch Disney plus atmos movies. I Will Soon get a arcana and need a answer to this. The projector has an ”Arc” hdmi port
I have a TV with 2 Ultra HD HDMI ports. Can I Connect the Arcana HDMi out cable also to my Non Ultra HD HDMi ports so that the device calculating it into 4K/HDR?
Hi, my Samsung tv doesn’t have EArc only Arc. I have purchased the Arcana which has resolved lip sync issue with my Sonos Beam 2. Should I be getting Dolby Atmos as I only seem to receive Dolby Digital Plus 5.1? Do I need to go into the Arcana settings to change anything? Thanks
Dang! I just purchased, then saw your video and code. Would have loved to support you. Sorry dude. Thank you for the info. I have an older projector with HDMI inputs and just bought the Sonos Arc. Going to run an hdmi switch to feed the Arcana. Any favorites for an HDMI switch?

I just want to know something. I have the lg c9 oled , who has earc Also I have the apple tv 4k. If I am correct, what’s you are saying is that If I use the arcana and play atmos content on Netflix on apple tv4k the audio should be dolby atmos true hd rather than dolby atmos or dolby digital plus?
Saved me from buying a new TV. i ordered Nvidia shield pro 2019 + HD fury arcana which costed me around SGD580.hope it worth it. i do have one question though. if i copy any trueHD 7.1 atmos (.mkv) file using my thumb drive i would get native uncompressed atmos via the sonos ARC right ?
connected my PS5 to it to my HDMI 2.0 T.V. and Vizio Soundbar. Doesn't work... I was trying to split it to my vizio and my LX305 Pioneer elite receiver. But since it couldn't get past my vizio soundbar, I returned it (all using Fiber 2.1 directional cables)
So I'm looking at this because I just did one fun upgrade. I'll explain the upgrade first lol. I've been remodeling my house for a while now, and I decided to hookup the speakers I purchase for it a while back. Nice Yamaha speakers, including in-ceiling speakers for atmos. Anyone, I just picked myself a Denon receiver. I originally got the "4k passthrough"model, but realized I can't pass through to my 1440p @ 144hz display with it...so I went back and got the 8k model, which has HDMI 2.1. "Surely that'll work". Fun fact, it doesn't lol. So now I'm stuck in limbo. I set this up, quite honestly, to play some sweet games with Atmos on the laptop AND I wanted to not limit myself to "1080p @ 60fps". Gaming, contrary to film and cinema, is more prone to "high FPS" and "higher resolution" (particularly, 1440p is the sweet spot...i'm on a 32" curved display. Set it up in this room for fun before I start doing more remodeling). Anyway, after some digging and looking, I found out about eARC and ARC, which I never knew existed. Color me crazy, but I never 'cared' about sound bars, I would just go purchase a nice receiver and some independant cabinet speakers instead. So I never realized that they 'eventually' figured out a way that would separate audio from video of HDMI like back in the RCA days. Originally, I was trying to find some sort of USB to Optical converter, but that doesn't pass Atmos, so that's irrelevant to me. Then I stumbled upon this device. This device has been one for the past week I've been debating on grabbing, but it's $200 for basically an HDMI splitter. Expensive, but realistically there isn't anything out that will do 1440p @ 120-144hz. So I'm sort of...in limbo lol. I'd "BIte the bullet" and pickup the 4k display right now (Only need 60hz for video anyway) BUT then I can't, at all, game on it...because this laptop would be crippled at that resolution lol. So yeah. Thanks for this review. I'll be utilizing it to determine if I should be grabbing this soon! :) May utilize it in the office when my remodel is finished, provided that I'll be utilizing this 1440p display and this means I "could" utilize an older receiver of mine that also, apparently, has an ARC HDMI port on it. Hopefully it's backwards compatible lol.
Lets say I have a TV that has 4 HDMI ports. - HDMI 1 & 2 are HDMI 2.1 - HDMI 2 is eARC - HDMI 3 & 4 are HDMI 2.0 I want to use the two HDMI 2.1 ports for the next gen gaming console (XBOX Series X and PS5) but I also want to own and use Sonos Arc Sound Bar as well. How do I use HDFury Arcana to make sure I can get the audio from the Gaming Consoles as well? Or is that even possible? Any Advice is appreciated. Thanks
So i just purchased the Sonos ARC. A lot of my movies in Plex are DTS 5.1. I understand that the ARC does not support DTS but I thought Plex would transcode it to a playable format (it doesn’t). Will the HDFury help with that or will i need to decode my movies in a different audio format?
My set up is Sonos Arc + LG55UJ + Apple TV 4K for Netflix and prime. I dont get any atmos signal !! My TV has ARC but not eARC and I thought this should at least get me lossy atmos but no :(. Quite disappointed. Will HDFury Arcana solve this issue ? Want to be sure before I get it as it is $400 here in AUS.
It’s possible the TV isn’t able to process Dolby Digital Plus through HDMI ARC, but that’s strange. You should still be getting Atmos. Make sure whatever content your streaming has Dolby Atmos audio (I’m sure you have, just double check). But yes, the Arcana will definitely solve this issue for you!
Jonah Matthes Yup, even rented a movie from ITunes on the Apple TV to be sure. But I don’t get lossy atmos :(. I’ll give it another month or so to see if there will be cheaper, less complicated solutions out there. If not, might just buy a New TV on Black Friday that has eARC. Thanks heaps though. Loving your content !!
The Apple TV 4K outputs a special flavor of Atmos known as Dolby MAT, which encodes Atmos metadata into an uncompressed LPCM 7.1 stream. It's primarily intended for gaming (it's also used by the Xbox One S & X and one of Nvidia's streaming boxes), but it helps Apple deal with an arcane (and IMO stupid) Netflix rule that only devices which decode DD+ internally can stream Atmos. (That's supposedly why most Roku devices' Netflix apps don't support Atmos.) Atmos over Dolby MAT isn't supported by regular ARC as its LPCM is limited to 2.0, but the Arcana should bypass that limitation.
Hi, I am trying to connect my tv to Sonos arc by using a pc. How can I go about this. My tv only has arc hdmi. And my pc is connect to tv. How can I use my pc to TVs to Sonos arc. Please kindly advise.
It's of course backwards compatible but I believe it only has the one HDMI 2.1 qt. Honestly HDMI 2.1 is a mess right now and I'd stay away from it. Is there even display that can do the full bandwidth? I know the new consoles can't and the LG can't. 40GPPS. What's the point in specs of no one has to follow them?
I have an old Sony receiver that does not support Atmos. It is a 7.2. It is a great receiver. Is there any way to decode the Atmos signal and then use my rear surround speakers as height speakers?
Correct me if I'm wrong but this device will not provide any benefit for Atmos through any of the streaming services since none of them stream in lossless audio formats correct? Only benefit would be via Blu-ray or other sources that have True HD or DTS:X encoded in the audio.
I was referring to eARC incompatabily with most products from Sound United which I believe should be boycotted as I will. I've been had by Denon twice. I hope others will follow.
You are a wealth of information. Just wanted to know if the unit powers off when TV is turned off. Also is it better to use a USB port on the TV to supply power to it.
Jonah, I now have the Samsung Q950T soundbar and love it! I plugged my Nvidia Shield TV into the Arcana just the way you did but I get no sound. Do I need a certain setting in the Arcana? I've messaged Arcana but the guy will never answer any questions if it's not related to Sonos ARC. Any ideas?

Very informative video and very helpful i have the sonos arc you said there is a huge difference bet the atmos and dd+ how huge it is?Sorry about my question its just i cant imagine how good dolby atmos is bec dd+ for me is already good but i want the best sound that the sonos arc can produce..can i get dolby atmos with ARCANA If i only use the native apps like NETFLIX,AMAZON PRIME and DISNEY PLUS from the tv without an APPLE TV to say one?thanks in advance and i also hope that if somebody has the ARCANA. And was able to have ATMOS from native apps i really apreciate if you guys can share your experience about thank you amd keep safe
Great video ! I have a few questions if anyone here can please help answer . 1. Does the hdmi cable from sonos arc to arcana need to be 2.1 for lossless audio? 2. Does this improve TV app lip sync issues (netflix app on my LG c7)or only those on the external device plugged into the Arcana? 3. Jonah mentioned this but I wanted to make sure i understand this correctly. Can I plug another splitter into the hdmi input on the arcana so multiple external devices can have lossless audio ?

Well explained,answerd a lot of questions.sound difference ,noticeable worth it.?maybe not so great on samsung 990c.?
Great video. I recently got a Sonos arc. Got new tv earlier this year (Samsung) that doesn’t have eArc port. I’m not very tech savvy and was wondering, do I also need to have that tvpro box as well as the arcana or can I connect the arcana directly to my tv and Sonos arc?
Wow you are an expert in explaining this item. Keep up the good work
Bye from

Great video and thanks for sharing with us.
I got one question: Are you able to use the TV remote to control the soundbar with your arrangement?
Absolutely! CEC still works perfectly fine with this setup.
The Arcana makes lip syncing/syncing in general perfect between any components and your tv/Sonos Arc?
If you got the Sony A7000 sound bar. You don’t need the HDFury. The sound bar has a Earc HDMI for Audio that goes the Apple TV or similar device. Then another HDMI for the TV or projector. I got the HDFury but didn’t have to use it.
Bought the Arcana to get Dolby Vision working with a Samsung QLED TV using a 2019 NVIDA Shield Pro. The Arcana converts Dolby Vision signals from LLDV (or is it LDV) sources into a compatible signal for use with non-Dolby compatible TVs. Refer to HDFury's website for additional details. Only issue is that the TV will not indicate a better signal than HDR. For example, Dolby Vision or HDR10+. This conversion will only work with LLDV sources and not regular DV sources. There are plenty of LLDV sources and LLDV is not limited to specific esoteric sources. In other words LLDV sources are quite common. For further info refer to the Arcana website.
What setting did you use for the Audio Selection on the arcana? I just got mine today and I’m not sure what to select. I have a earc soundbar and a Samsung series 8500 with just Arc. Thank you,Gary
Thank you . Is the Arcana the only thing you can use with Sonos arc? What about the VERTEX? Is that the same thing as the Arcana?
I’d love to see a response to this
Samsung choked at the pass after I purchased a Q80R 75" on a promise of an eArc firmware update. Samsung's retailer lied. Samsung had no intention of updating the ARC output to eArc. I had an HD Fury Vertex on a previous LG and it worked perfectly. So, I too bit the bullet (missed the 5% JONAH discount - ouch!) and placed an order. Thanks. Your video helped.
Will hd fury arcana work with other soundbars?
Thanks for your video about this product. I’m still unclear if it will work in my situation and how it increases the number or HDMI ports available. I have an Apple TV, a non-ARC/eARV tv, and a Sonos ARC. My thought is that I can plug my Apple TV into one port on the device (HDMI In) and then coming out the other end HDMI Out got to the TV and eARC goes to Sonos ARC. Is that correct?
That's correct!
Jonah I ordered one today and excited for it, but my question is for not just you but for everybody...does the blue lettering disappear at the bottom?
May I ask you 2 questions:
1) does the HDFury text at the bottom of the tv screen go away after a little bit?
2) did you have to update the HDFury firmware? My MacBook won’t bring it up when I connect them together. Is it really necessary or can I just plug and play without updating? (Waiting on my soundbar to arrive) - Sonos ARC
You just saved me from buying a new TV! Thanks for the great info and video.
Glad I could help!
Hi Jonah,/anyone
I have brought arcana and connected, getting 4k Dolby Atmos only in netflix.there is no 4k and Atmos in Amazon prime and Disney plus??don't know why??pl need your assistance.streaming device:Chromecast with Google tv.
Note:all new cables and tried with other HDMI port as well.
Thanks
@@JonahMatthes Is there any import taxes for Arcana?
How can I use this as a passthrough? I want to connect my sound bar to the HDFury, then the Fury to the TV. Which ports do I use?
In case you are using DIRECTIONAL Fiber optic HDMI cables - obviously the APPLE TV (for example) will be the SOURCE connection ....Both OUTPUTS of HD FURY ARCANAS will be SOURCE connection > The TV or PROJECTOR will be DISPLAY connection .... SONOS ARC will also be DISPLAY connection
I recently installed a 7.2.6 Home Theater ...he had a 85 inch Samsung TV for display and the CEC (HDMI control ) was causing some major problems - such as you described - turn d off CEC and everything was working fine after that
Hey Jonah! Thanks so much for this review. I’ve recently purchased a full Sonos Arc system and I’m finding the lip sync to be a huge issue. I’ve purchased the Arcana although I’m waiting to receive it as it’s back ordered. Can you suggest a good HDMI Switch with at least 4 inputs that will allow for multiple HDMI inputs while not degrading audio quality?
FYI my set is through my LG 65’’ OLED HDR CL8 - bought in 2018. It has a single Arc HDMI out. And three other normal HDMI inputs.
Thanks so much Jonah!
Hey Luke, how did you get on with your Arcana? Did it resolve the lip sync. I’m experiencing that now as I just bought a Sonos Arc and don’t have an EARC tv.
Hi, which HDMI cable are you suggesting for arcana setup??thanks
2 big hifi stores in Sweden told me that of your tv/ projector doesnt support eArc it is IMPOSSIBLE to use eArc. So therefore I was planning to leave my arc back to the store since i have got open shop guarantee.
But when I found your video review about this. I have achieved a hallelujah moment.
I am wondering why the stores gave me that answere…
So, using the splitter its only possible to have the sound with the arc?
Or its possible to shutdown the arc and use the speakers of the tv without disconnect the splitter?
For example stream Musik to the arc using airplay 2 from iPhone AND watching any fitness tutorial on the tv?
Hi, I recently purchased the q990b samsung soundbar and connected my apple tv tv4k to it. My tv has only an arc connection. So is it required that I purchase HDfury arcana for full capabilities of lossless sound. Samsung q990b has two hdmi inputs and one hdmi earc ourput.
Download the latest firmware - resolved all issues I had. Mainly sound cutting out when swapping channels
Do you just download it onto a usb stick and plug it into the unit and it auto updates?
@@Cheese-Head HDFury is great about updates. Seem to release an update for each of their products At least once a month, if not twice. They will fix any reported issues.
My optoma p1 had some dropout issues. I got the key to get hd audio(true HD and DTS MA) to my non arc receiver. Even with its minimal EDID management it solved all my dropout issues. I then started reading about the diva and once I found out you can essentially get Dolby Vision or HDR+ on an HDR10 display I was sold. Essentially it tricks the player, in my case the new Nvidia shield pro, into thinking our display can do Dolby Vision. The Diva then remaps the color tones to HDR10 in sub 1 milliseconds. You can really notice the difference. That is what that LLDV setting does. Not sure how much control you have on it with the arcana. With the diva you can inject your own HDR metadata for a better picture for both HDR and Dolby Vision. Here is how often they release updates. Go to downloads and you will see what I mean.

Hi there, so helpful! so, before I order it, I'd like to share my setup to try to confirm if it will work as expected. Up to this point my TV only allows me to DolbyDigital (non plus) codec audio output. I want to get Dolby Atmos.
TV: Samsung Q70R, only HDMI ARC
Apple TV 4K 2022, which sends the Dolby Atmos fully over eARC only
Sound system: Sonos beam 2nd gen + 2 sonos One + Sonos Sub mini
Philips HDMI Sync box, for the led strip ambilight and as a "hub" for all my HDMI connections (PS4. Apple TV)
Currently, I have the TV ARC HDMI output connected to the Sonos beam, and the Apple TV as video input. I only get Dolby Digital 5.1 as maximum sound quality setup.
Do you guys think I will succeed by putting the Arcana in between the Sonos beam + Philips HDMI sync box AND the TV?
Hi Jonah, which switcher do you suggest if I want to connect more devices to my Arcana ? Thank you very much for your advice.
I’d love to see a response to this

Thank you for your video. Should I connect the fury to the tv or cable box?
Thank you for this.
My LG TV is only hdmi arc and it doesn't output DTS audio via hdmi arc. When a DTS audio is input to the TV it will output PCM 2.0 audio to arc.
I need something like this for my soundbar.
I might just get a 4k player that's has hdmi earc and bypass this issue altogether if I get a Sonos. My tv is a Samsung 2016 4k but only has hdmi arc. Still trying to decide between the Sonos arc or a Samsung sound bar SAMSUNG HW-Q950A
What if I just want to use my tv and sonos arc (without an external source)...how would the connection work?
I am just interested to use the app (such as Tidal) on my android tv (BRAVIA x900f) and output ATMOS to Sonos ARc
I have the Same question..
Thanks for concise and well done video. Wondering if you can answer a question for me: My TV (Samsung Frame) has an HDMI eARC port and my sound bar (Yamaha YAS-209) only an HDMI ARC port, can the Arcana supply eARC to sound bar?
Can you review the Fein Tech VAX04101?
What is the best or Great eARC HDMI cable
I watched your video this past Tuesday and I placed my order for the HDFury Arcana. I just received today from Tiawain via DHL. Total spent $231.00
I have Sonos Arc, Sub Gen 2 & Ones SL
I connected Arcana and it’s amazing WOW
Instead of buying a TV with Earc ( $4k plus) this just amazing.
Im done spending money with this system and Arcana you can’t go wrong
😎
Hi, do you have the website where you purchased this from please?
Backorder till December
Alex Tejada
Yes but what is the website you got it from?
Right from HDFury site
Alex Tejada
Cheers
I have only Arc conectipn and DD+ is not supported on my LG OLED (EG9100). Will Dolby Atmos will still work with this?
Jonah, hooked up my Arcana the way you did and I'm not getting any sound. Also, what settings do I need on the Arcana?
This is great. Been on the fence for a new soundbar as my last one of 7 years finally died. Been doing much reviews and came across your in-depth videos and with this device alone, I'm ok with spending the additional funds for proper sound. Just upgraded my TV in the last 2 years and don't plan on upgrading again for awhile. You definitely need to reach out to HDFURYARCANA for some sponsorship. Would definitely like a HDFURY for set-up on TV's and Soundbars alike. Thanks again for the great reviews!
Is there any alternative in 2022? Does it work with all soundbars that has a ARC input (eg Bose TV speaker soundbar)
Hi, I have a Philips oled805 TV with only an arc port. To connect to the TV, I used Sonos Arc + 2 one SL + 1 sub. So far, the built-in Netflix TV has performed admirably. I can play Dolby Atmos without any delay. However, when I connect my PS5 to the Philips TV and use the Dolby sound option in PS5, it shows dolby 5.1 but the sound has a 0.5 s delay, which I can clearly hear. When I switched it to PCM, there is no delay, but the soundbar was operating on a stereo model, which produces only two channels of sound, and the sound was very crisp. So I'm wondering if Aracna will fix the delay issue when I use PS5? Thanks
Why would I need this? I can plug my Apple TV directly into my Atmos capable sound bar (which sends the video to the TV via ARC). Been doing this for years. What would this product add?
LOOKING AT THE 8k vrroom 40gbpswould that be a better choice
Great vid!
I currently have a Sonos arc, sub and suround speakers but am only getting lossy atmos. Is the difference in lossless that noticeable? Unsure if it’s worth the extra money
You won't hear the difference. Audiophiles will claim you can but 99.9% of people just won't hear a difference unless you have a very fine tuned $20k home cinema setup. Through a sound bar even the Sonos which sounds great, you won't notice it.
do you think the Arcana would make much of a difference with the Gen 2 Beam?
I have a 2016 samsung ks8000. Should I still buy a sonos arc even though my tv isn't compatible with Dolby atmos and no e arc?
Hi Jonah! A big thanks for this video. I have a 2020 Samsung 4K Tv and a Sonos Arc. Apparently this model TV does not support DTS and now Sonos have updated with DTS support. Would the Arcana fix this so I get DTS sound?
Did you ever try this? I have the Samsung QN90B and a Sonos Arc and have the same DTS woes 😭
@@Marth8880 no I never got one. After speaking to someone who supplies them, they told me it wouldn’t work.
Do the projector/tv need to be a 4K tv to get Dolby atmos together with the hd fury arcana ?
I have a projector in Full hd in my bedroom. I use appletv 4k and Watch Disney plus atmos movies. I Will Soon get a arcana and need a answer to this.
The projector has an ”Arc” hdmi port
I have a TV with 2 Ultra HD HDMI ports. Can I Connect the Arcana HDMi out cable also to my Non Ultra HD HDMi ports so that the device calculating it into 4K/HDR?
Hi, my Samsung tv doesn’t have EArc only Arc. I have purchased the Arcana which has resolved lip sync issue with my Sonos Beam 2. Should I be getting Dolby Atmos as I only seem to receive Dolby Digital Plus 5.1? Do I need to go into the Arcana settings to change anything? Thanks
Can I use the arcana just to connect my tv and Sonos arc? Or do I have to get an apple tv4k?
Did you manage to find a fix for the TV speaker active problem? thanks
I used your link and discount code to purchase this, but how long does it take for delivery? The PayPal payment seemed kinda shady.
Dang! I just purchased, then saw your video and code. Would have loved to support you. Sorry dude. Thank you for the info. I have an older projector with HDMI inputs and just bought the Sonos Arc. Going to run an hdmi switch to feed the Arcana. Any favorites for an HDMI switch?

Did you test DTS or not? Lots of people I know that have a arc have issues with DTS going to pcm 2.0.
I just want to know something. I have the lg c9 oled , who has earc Also I have the apple tv 4k. If I am correct, what’s you are saying is that If I use the arcana and play atmos content on Netflix on apple tv4k the audio should be dolby atmos true hd rather than dolby atmos or dolby digital plus?
Can I use a Samsung Q9FN TV with the Arcana and can use the apps on the TV to get Atmos audio?
Saved me from buying a new TV. i ordered Nvidia shield pro 2019 + HD fury arcana which costed me around SGD580.hope it worth it. i do have one question though. if i copy any trueHD 7.1 atmos (.mkv) file using my thumb drive i would get native uncompressed atmos via the sonos ARC right ?
connected my PS5 to it to my HDMI 2.0 T.V. and Vizio Soundbar. Doesn't work... I was trying to split it to my vizio and my LX305 Pioneer elite receiver. But since it couldn't get past my vizio soundbar, I returned it (all using Fiber 2.1 directional cables)
So I'm looking at this because I just did one fun upgrade.
I'll explain the upgrade first lol. I've been remodeling my house for a while now, and I decided to hookup the speakers I purchase for it a while back. Nice Yamaha speakers, including in-ceiling speakers for atmos.
Anyone, I just picked myself a Denon receiver. I originally got the "4k passthrough"model, but realized I can't pass through to my 1440p @ 144hz display with it...so I went back and got the 8k model, which has HDMI 2.1. "Surely that'll work". Fun fact, it doesn't lol.
So now I'm stuck in limbo. I set this up, quite honestly, to play some sweet games with Atmos on the laptop AND I wanted to not limit myself to "1080p @ 60fps". Gaming, contrary to film and cinema, is more prone to "high FPS" and "higher resolution" (particularly, 1440p is the sweet spot...i'm on a 32" curved display. Set it up in this room for fun before I start doing more remodeling).
Anyway, after some digging and looking, I found out about eARC and ARC, which I never knew existed. Color me crazy, but I never 'cared' about sound bars, I would just go purchase a nice receiver and some independant cabinet speakers instead. So I never realized that they 'eventually' figured out a way that would separate audio from video of HDMI like back in the RCA days. Originally, I was trying to find some sort of USB to Optical converter, but that doesn't pass Atmos, so that's irrelevant to me.
Then I stumbled upon this device. This device has been one for the past week I've been debating on grabbing, but it's $200 for basically an HDMI splitter. Expensive, but realistically there isn't anything out that will do 1440p @ 120-144hz. So I'm sort of...in limbo lol. I'd "BIte the bullet" and pickup the 4k display right now (Only need 60hz for video anyway) BUT then I can't, at all, game on it...because this laptop would be crippled at that resolution lol.
So yeah. Thanks for this review. I'll be utilizing it to determine if I should be grabbing this soon! :) May utilize it in the office when my remodel is finished, provided that I'll be utilizing this 1440p display and this means I "could" utilize an older receiver of mine that also, apparently, has an ARC HDMI port on it. Hopefully it's backwards compatible lol.
Lets say I have a TV that has 4 HDMI ports.
- HDMI 1 & 2 are HDMI 2.1
- HDMI 2 is eARC
- HDMI 3 & 4 are HDMI 2.0
I want to use the two HDMI 2.1 ports for the next gen gaming console (XBOX Series X and PS5) but I also want to own and use Sonos Arc Sound Bar as well.
How do I use HDFury Arcana to make sure I can get the audio from the Gaming Consoles as well? Or is that even possible?
Any Advice is appreciated.
Thanks
Thank you so much! You saved my 2019 Samsung Q90R TV!
So i just purchased the Sonos ARC. A lot of my movies in Plex are DTS 5.1. I understand that the ARC does not support DTS but I thought Plex would transcode it to a playable format (it doesn’t). Will the HDFury help with that or will i need to decode my movies in a different audio format?
But it says HDMI 2.0 which is 18Gbps not HDMI 2.1 which is 48Gbps, im confused
Have you tested this with the output sound to Sonos and video output to a Projector? Or know if it works?
I'm wondering this too.
My set up is Sonos Arc + LG55UJ + Apple TV 4K for Netflix and prime. I dont get any atmos signal !! My TV has ARC but not eARC and I thought this should at least get me lossy atmos but no :(. Quite disappointed. Will HDFury Arcana solve this issue ? Want to be sure before I get it as it is $400 here in AUS.
It’s possible the TV isn’t able to process Dolby Digital Plus through HDMI ARC, but that’s strange. You should still be getting Atmos. Make sure whatever content your streaming has Dolby Atmos audio (I’m sure you have, just double check). But yes, the Arcana will definitely solve this issue for you!
Jonah Matthes Yup, even rented a movie from ITunes on the Apple TV to be sure. But I don’t get lossy atmos :(. I’ll give it another month or so to see if there will be cheaper, less complicated solutions out there. If not, might just buy a New TV on Black Friday that has eARC. Thanks heaps though. Loving your content !!
The Apple TV 4K outputs a special flavor of Atmos known as Dolby MAT, which encodes Atmos metadata into an uncompressed LPCM 7.1 stream. It's primarily intended for gaming (it's also used by the Xbox One S & X and one of Nvidia's streaming boxes), but it helps Apple deal with an arcane (and IMO stupid) Netflix rule that only devices which decode DD+ internally can stream Atmos. (That's supposedly why most Roku devices' Netflix apps don't support Atmos.) Atmos over Dolby MAT isn't supported by regular ARC as its LPCM is limited to 2.0, but the Arcana should bypass that limitation.
Hi, I am trying to connect my tv to Sonos arc by using a pc. How can I go about this. My tv only has arc hdmi. And my pc is connect to tv. How can I use my pc to TVs to Sonos arc. Please kindly advise.
What is the max length I can use , as I need to bring it from my projector on the Celling
Seems a look cool product. I checked, the price is a good deal for what it does. Thanks for the video.
Thanks a lot for your valuable review. Would you be able to review the phone app for it? Would any HDMI switch work with it? HDMI 2.1.
It's of course backwards compatible but I believe it only has the one HDMI 2.1 qt. Honestly HDMI 2.1 is a mess right now and I'd stay away from it. Is there even display that can do the full bandwidth? I know the new consoles can't and the LG can't. 40GPPS. What's the point in specs of no one has to follow them?
I have an old Sony receiver that does not support Atmos. It is a 7.2. It is a great receiver. Is there any way to decode the Atmos signal and then use my rear surround speakers as height speakers?
Correct me if I'm wrong but this device will not provide any benefit for Atmos through any of the streaming services since none of them stream in lossless audio formats correct? Only benefit would be via Blu-ray or other sources that have True HD or DTS:X encoded in the audio.
This is correct. Also, some older TVs with HDMI ARC don't support Dolby Digital Plus, so it's also for those people that don't want to get a new TV.
Man, you just made my year! Thanks so much!
I was referring to eARC incompatabily with most products from Sound United which I believe should be boycotted as I will. I've been had by Denon twice. I hope others will follow.
Any receiver without eARC is not capable of supplying anything more than compressed 5.1
Firmware updates are not possible when it's a hardware issue, so don't believe any corporate bs about Atmos compatability without eARC outputs
You are a wealth of information. Just wanted to know if the unit powers off when TV is turned off. Also is it better to use a USB port on the TV to supply power to it.
Don’t think you can use the TVs USB port because it likely won’t provide enough power. Happy I could help!
Does it go in sleep mode when not in use?
I have another quick question. Will the audio from cable tv go to my soundbar with the Arcana setup?
Jonah, I now have the Samsung Q950T soundbar and love it! I plugged my Nvidia Shield TV into the Arcana just the way you did but I get no sound. Do I need a certain setting in the Arcana? I've messaged Arcana but the guy will never answer any questions if it's not related to Sonos ARC. Any ideas?

Is there any difference in sound with earc
Great video ! I have a few questions if anyone here can please help answer .
1. Does the hdmi cable from sonos arc to arcana need to be 2.1 for lossless audio?
2. Does this improve TV app lip sync issues (netflix app on my LG c7)or only those on the external device plugged into the Arcana?
3. Jonah mentioned this but I wanted to make sure i understand this correctly. Can I plug another splitter into the hdmi input on the arcana so multiple external devices can have lossless audio ?

Yeah I need answers to all these questions aswell lol...

It is easy to turn off the on screen display in the settings. The Dolby vision is a plus as well.
