Watching Football on TV (LED/OLED)

ARC was first introduced in 2009, so I doubt your 2009 receiver supports the ARC HDMI input unless it was a top of the line. My older receiver doesn't pick ARC up, but my newer one does. Likely have to use the optical input instead.

I am not sure if mine does or not, but is it an automatic thing or do you have to set it to pick up ARC?

And yeah, optical is what I probably will end up doing. Just not sure I have an optical cable. Never used it before.
