it to the TV’s optical digital OUT port.
If your TV has an HDMI ARC port
HDMI ARC is a special port that looks like a standard HDMI port. Although they look the same, if you connect
to a standard HDMI port, you won’t hear sound.
1. On your TV’s audio OUT panel, look for an HDMI ARC port.
It may be on the back or side of your TV.
You’ll know it’s an ARC port if you see the word “ARC” on the label.
2. Connect the HDMI cable to the TV’s HDMI ARC port.
Note: If you can’t find the word “ARC” on the label, it isn’t the correct port. See If your TV doesn’t have an
HDMI ARC port.
If your TV doesn’t have an HDMI ARC port
