Is there ARC and eARC compatibility?

ARC is fully compatible with all Fancy Sync Box models, enabling Dolby Atmos support. The Fancy Sync Box also works with eARC ports on your TV by maintaining separate connections. For example:

  • HDMI Device > Fancy Sync Box > TV
  • Soundbar > TV eARC port

All sound from your HDMI devices will be routed to your soundbar.

Dolby Atmos: Digital Plus and TrueHD

Dolby Atmos delivers immersive 3D sound by enabling audio to move dynamically across channels, including overhead, for a richer experience. It is delivered through Dolby Digital Plus or Dolby TrueHD, depending on the source.

Dolby Digital Plus is a lossy codec, commonly used in streaming platforms like Netflix and Disney+, due to its efficient compression, which allows high-quality audio over limited bandwidth. Dolby TrueHD is a lossless codec, primarily found on Blu-ray discs, delivering higher fidelity. TrueHD is not supported by the Fancy Sync Boxes.

However, Dolby Digital Plus is used by streaming platforms like Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+ and is the standard for most setups, while Dolby TrueHD is reserved for Blu-ray discs or Plex. As a result, the majority of users rely on Digital Plus and do not use TrueHD in their current setups.
