Missing from Specifications: Usually, ARC compatibility is highlighted as a selling point for receivers. The official Sony support page and user manuals for STR-DA5400ES don't mention ARC https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/product/str-da5400es/manuals https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/audio-components-receivers-amplifiers/str-da5400es.

Successor Models: Newer Sony receiver models clearly advertise ARC/eARC (Enhanced ARC) functionality, suggesting its absence in older models like STR-DA5400ES.

If ARC is crucial for your setup, consider looking into other Sony receivers or receivers from other brands that explicitly mention ARC support.

To determine if a receiver has Audio Return Channel (ARC) capability, you typically need to check its specifications or user manual. ARC allows the TV to send audio back to the receiver over the HDMI connection, simplifying cable connections and potentially providing better audio quality.

If you have the model number of the receiver, you can often find its specifications online by searching for the model number followed by "specifications" or "user manual." Look for terms like "Audio Return Channel" or "ARC" in the connectivity section of the specifications or in the features list.

If you don't have the model number handy, you might be able to find it on the receiver itself, usually on a sticker or plate located on the back or bottom. Once you have the model number, you can search online for its specifications.

If you're still having trouble finding this information, you can reach out to the manufacturer's customer support for assistance. They should be able to confirm whether the receiver supports ARC or not.
