Using an Arc with Yamaha RX-V685 AV Receiver and Epson Projector

I recently purchased 5.1.2 Entertainment Set with Arc, Sub G3 & One SL to use in my theater room in my basement.  My intent was to pair it with my Yamaha RX-V685 receiver and Epson 4010 4K projector.  I also use a Roku Ultra 2020 to stream my video.

After trying several different connections and configurations, I can’t get sound to play through my Sonos.  Have I made a very expensive mistake buying the Sonos?

Hi. As Bruce suggested, the receiver is redundant. I think the only way you will get this to work is to buy an HDFury Arcana device.  The Roku would go in the Arcana's HDMI input, the HDMI out would go to the projector and the eARC would go to the Arc.

That should work well. (Although no way to avoid some longish cables. )

Hi - that is good to hear.  I don’t think you need an eARC supporting cable for the HDMi connection from Arcana to the projector.  eARC is all about the audio, and you just care about sending the video to the projector.  I am not sure what your projector supports but probably worth ensuring that the cable does at least 4K UHD.

John - I should have been more clear. The way my home theater is set up in my basement, I have an area behind a wall where I have all my gear.  All my cables are in place for the projector and my Roku,  I just plug in.  When I decided to go with Sonos, I pulled a cable into that room to connect the ARC.  That's the cable I need now.  The one I originally purchased does not support eARC.  Thanks!

One last issue.  Everything works except now I have a little “jitter” with my sound.  Reminds me of a bad cell connection.  I have checked all my cable connections and rebooted the Arcana  and the Roku.

Thanks
