Does BS3 support HDMI ARC - I am hoping to connect my TV HDMI ARC enables to BS3 HDMI input - in hopes to capture the audio from the smart tv apps while I watch 4k video - I am referring to the Netflix, Amazon Prime etc apps on the TV directly
Unfortunately,Bsys3 does not support hdmi arc.I have similar,Samsung 4Ktv.Digital output from tv (toslink) - via toslink/spdif adapter into Bsys3.This way I have sound from smart tv apps directlly.

The 'tv' used with the BSys3 is just a display without any built-in sources.
There was/is no need for ARC support.
All sources are built-in or connected to the BSys3 and the audio part stays in the BSys3 for processing.
Support for ARC came with HDMI 1.4.
Since the output port of your BSys3 is DVI, you would not have any chance anyway.
Only way to go - if you choose that - is to use a coax-digital or a HDMI-in for the sound.....
....with all the troubles of configuring and daily controls, that you would get this way.
Maybe OldJack could tell us about how he manages his setup?

MM,my Bsys3 does not have DVI,but HDMI outputs
@OldJack
Sure -probably a newer version.
But you can not use the output - you must use an input, like you do (= the coax digital), when connecting the audio from the tv.
