Well...I don't know. LOL.
I have all of the sources running via HDMI to the TV inputs. And since the ARC HDMI is plugged into the TV AND SOUNDBAR that it simply passes the sound to the soundbar. I have no sound coming out of the TV...its all the soundbar/sub.
There is a specific HDMI port for ARC. Then I simply use the leftover HDMI ports for each of the sources (DVR, BD). So, there is not input switching aside from source. It only uses the ARC hdmi for sound and passes it to the soundbar regardless of which inputs are sending sound.
Interesting. Like I said, I've never used ARC so never looked into how it works. I just heeded the warnings of others and decided to never use it. I've had enough issues with CEC to never want to leave it on anyway.
Maybe I'll have time to do a write up on the True/False variable (there may already be some on the site if you search). It's a bit late and I have a long day ahead of me tomorrow so I have to hit the sack.
