I’ve just got a new Sony A80J 55" TV (Lucky me) but I cant get the HDMI ARC to work, well actually it does turn the Nova on and off so the control is there but I just get noise coming through not the TV audio. I’ve played with all the settings I can find but no change.
Anyone else have this or any tips?
PS I’ve tried a few HDMI cables and they’re the same, is there a particular type of cable I should get?
TIA
If you get “noise”, a likely cause is having the TV send e.g. surround sound to the Nova.
You need to set the TV to output stereo only PCM encoded signal. (View the ARC interface.)
Just to add - the DAC in the Nova is 2 channel so cannot decode a multichannel bitstream. This is why you need to set your TV to output 2 channel PCM so the DAC in the Nova can decode it properly.
Learn this the hard way with my UQ2. 
Thank you! yes that fixed it. It did show as PCM but was greyed out, I played with some setting and hey presto! it all came good. Thanks for the tip! 
Understood, thank you!
