Bravia 8 connectivity to Arc Ultra

Hi,  I am looking to upgrade my TV to match up with my Arc Ultra and I wanted to make sure there are no issues connecting these two together. 2024 Sony Bravia 8 and the Arc Ultra. plan is to use the E-Arc connection as I have done before so I really don’t expect an issue, but thought I’d ask before I spend the money on the TV

eARC is eARC, no matter which company uses the standard. That’s the purpose of ‘standards’.

If only it was that simple, arc and hdmi-cec have standards, but it would be naive to say every device implementing them works together without issues. Same as Rs232 serial has a standard but how well companies implement the standards is the key thing.

Yeah and this is why I have the concern, dont expect an issue but just in case I’m trying to get ahead of it. I havent seen or heard of issues but then again both items are new products and I wasn’t sure

Thanks Stanley 4, I suppose my real guidance here will be that no real issues with the Sony brand and the Arc Gen1 in the past.

That is what I go by, while the ARC link may work some brands have internal issues with Sonos
