    LG 50PK590 Hdmi Arc Or Not?

    Ok I thought this might be a simple issue and have read through the entire manual and many websites including LG so I shall presume that the LG 50PK590 Plasma tv does not have HDMI (Arc)?

    Dont laugh but I still have this rather excellent plasma tv and recently read that connecting to our old Yamaha RXV365 (audio only hdmi) amp will give better sound than using the current Spdif connector.

    So this forum is my last hope for a knowledgeable person who can advise me if the old plasma's did have Hdmi (Arc).

    I have plugged in the amp to HDMI 1 which i would assume is Arc but am getting nothing when the spdif is removed - Am I wasting my time?

      It will say arc on the hdmi port your plugging it into if arc is supported by the tv. Usually it’s hdmi 2,3 or 4. Never seen it on hdmi port 1

          NO ARC apparently according to LG tech support no port labelled with it on the tv either!

          Aw well!

              ARC was introduced in 2009
              I assume no responsibility for any stupid suggestions I might post.

                  Marantz SR4003 AVR HDMI board issue, seeking for help
                  by aliougm
                  I have problem with my AVR(Marantz SR4003) HDMI board issue. I connect to my TV but screen color distorted,see attached picture.

                  Connection as below:
                  Set-top box HDMI output >AVR 3 HDMI input/one HDMI output>HDTV HDMI port
                  If I bypassed AVR then HDTV screen color be good.

                  I take out HDMI board from AVR and check services manual the schematic shown the HDMI signals path:
                  3 HDMI input port > SIL9185 chip(HDMI switch) > SIL9033 chip(HDMI receiver) > SIL9030 chip(HDMI transmitter) > HDMI output port

                  I replaced all...

                  Certain DisplayPort-HDMI cables can disable HDMI CEC communication
                  by japlytic
                  With a setup including a TV and AV receiver where HDMI Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) and Audio Return Channel (ARC) functions were working, these two functions stopped working after changing some connections (not the one between the AV receiver and TV), so I believed it was a corrupt setting in the AV receiver or TV, but when I disconnected a passive DisplayPort-HDMI cable (which a Multimode DisplayPort connector supports HDMI with a low cost passive cable or adaptor) connected to a home theatre PC, HDMI CEC and ARC functionality was restored.
                  An examination of the HDMI CEC wiring...

                  Toshiba 50UL2063DB randomly rebooting with HDMI-CEC and/or HDMI-ARC enabled
                  by spleenharvester
                  I have this TV hooked up to only an AppleTV 4K and a Creative soundbar. Originally HDMI-CEC and HDMI-ARC wouldn't work at all, I replaced all the HDMI cables with decent UGREEN cables meeting the latest standards, now it all works perfectly but once or twice a day the TV itself reboots while watching a program, the AppleTV keeps running. I haven't fully pinned down whether it is ARC or CEC causing it yet. All are running latest firmware.

                  I assume it is just HDMI-CEC being buggy as usual on a shitty Vestel machine, but can anyone think of anything I can try before disabling it?

                  LG LCD TV HDMI PORT FAULTY
                  by RossMoodley1967
                  LG LCD TV picture comes on intermittenly using hdmi port.The sound is on permantly.The hdmi ports looks fine and soldered in securely.The 3.4v coming to the main board is not present(not sure if will affect the hdmi port or where that voltage goes.)The hdmi cable is fine because it works on another tv.The ceramic caps connected to the hdmi controller ic is reading 39 ohms.Could the hdmi controller ic be faulty(feels very warm to touch).The RCA jacks work normally .Thank you in advance for your assistance..

                  Pioneer VSX-44 receiver HDMI dropouts
                  by RatherLoopy
                  I have an older Pioneer receiver (VSX-44) that's been dropping the HDMI output (black screen) for a few seconds every few minutes. Setup is HTPC -> Pioneer DVD HCMI in -> Pioneer HDMI out -> Samsung TV HDMI in, all with cheap HDMI cables that have never caused trouble before..

                  I initially found a lot of play in the receiver's HDMI inputs and output so I kind of squeezed them back into shape and they're making a tighter connection, but the problem persists.

                  And also, often, the HDMI will drop out in exactly the same way (black screen) just as my central air...
