Audio Return Channel:

When the remote television supports HDMI ARC, its audio can be returned through the television’s HDMI connection and carried back over the HDBaseT link.

Alternatively, the receiver’s optical input can accept digital audio from the television and return it to the transmitter. The transmitter provides optical S/PDIF and 3.5mm analogue return-audio outputs.

Important: The transmitter’s optical and 3.5mm outputs are for returned television audio only. They cannot extract audio from the forward HDMI source.

Forward HDMI audio support:

• Multichannel and object-based audio bitstream pass-through
• Dolby TrueHD
• Dolby Atmos
• Dolby Digital Plus
• DTS-HD Master Audio

The formats above apply to the forward HDMI signal from the transmitter to the receiver. Available return-audio formats depend on the connected television and whether HDMI ARC or optical audio is used.
