HDMI In To HDMI and eARC Out - How Do I Do This?

@mgattmch

It took me a while…
We have the 65” OLED.
The #2 input (in the middle) is the eARC. I have 3 input HDMI ports.

Yes it is an input, so the Audio Reverse Channel is like Pinocchio when he was becoming a donkey… as that the sound goes out through the input.
Linguistically it makes little sense… but it works.

I/You also need(ed) to enable eARC in one of the menu areas.
It took me an hour of dickin-round to get it going.

erik-squires, holmz, many thanks for your help, I had no idea HDMI 2 input is also eARC out, Pleased to report there is a very noticeable improvement in SQ going from toslink to eARC; crystal clear sound, wider dynamics and deeper bass. Next I want to work out how to get the Apple 4kTV to switch on/off the TV and Devialet soundbar. At present, I can switch on/off the Apple 4kTV from the remote and the TV, not the Devialet soundbar though. Once again, your help/guidance is always appreciated.
