ARC is Audio Return Channel. It allows a TV's audio to be sent back to the attached receiver via the HDMI Out of the receiver instead of having to run a separate audio line from the TV to the receiver. It's intended for use when using a TV's internal tuner
via an attached antenna or cable source.



HDMI CEC is what allows your TV's remote to control other components without actually programming the remote with the code for the other devices.



HDMI CEC pre-dates ARC by several revisions. Unfortunately, few things take advantage of it.

To take full advantage the cable/ TV box will need to be HDMI CEC. This will give Xbox One the ability to change channels via the Xbox One TV guide. If not CEC you will have to use TV box remote to change channels.

I was searching for the HDMI volume through all the settings and couldn't find any, that's very disappointing. Most of the time I play when my kid is sleeping so I use headphones. Since I use HDMI-CEC to turn-off TV automatically, lack of this option forces me to disable sound in TV settings. And when the kid is going to watch some cartoons, I had to put it back again - pretty annoying, especially because my family watches YouTube with smart TV box connected to display, also with HDMI-CEC. To outline: I had to find TV Display own remote or go press TV buttons ONLY because of this option being missing. Very disgusting. Please fix

Hi, Tim. My name is Ron, I'm an independent advisor. I will be more than happy to help you.

Make sure to check first if your TV support the HDMI-CEC feature which sends commands to and from CEC-enabled devices (such as TVs and AVRs) that are connected to the console.

To turn off the TV along with the console, please do the steps below using your console.

Press the Xbox button  to open the guide, then go to Profile & System> Settings > General > TV & display options > TV & A/V power options.

You will need to turn on the HDMI-CEC function there, please also make sure that HDMI-CEC is also enabled on your TV settings.

After setting all of that up, on the TV & AV power options screen check the HDMI-CEC box to activate CEC then turn on the following setting "Console Turns off other devices."
