My TV doesn't have ARC either but I was able to use a digital audio cable to get the TV sound to the receiver. You can also use optical audio cable.

You can connect it via a digital optical cable...not a big deal. Just purchase one. You will have to the same thing with most all audio systems since your TV doesn't support ARC.

Sound will go out to this TV Sound System when connected to a Sony TV with ARC if you selected on the TV to be on external speakers. However, you may choose the sound to be output on the TV speakers when you select TV speaker instead of external speaker. This may be applied if you have other devices like cable box to be connected on the HDMI IN on this sound system and you just wanted to have it on the TV speaker system. (Pass through) -Ely

make sure the HDMI cable is plugged into the out jack on the back of your sound bar. you will also want to check your Vizio TV settings to make sure ARC is enabled.

You connect it by using and hdmi cable (best option) or a optical audio cable from your TV. If you use and HDMI cable make sure your TV has an output labeled ARS, that means that it can accept audio both ways

on the ex700 models of sony tv there is audio return channel (ARC) on HDMI 1 that gets sound back to the surround without using an optical cable if you don't hav an ARC then you need the optical cable to get the sound back.

I'm sorry, I've only tried HDMI, but that works fine. Can you try that connection, just to your tv temporarily to verify everything is working?

Cesar Orlando Charria Mondragon, Yes, Audio Return Channel (ARC) features are supported on this model. Remember, for ARC to work, you need: 1. To use HDMI... 2. ... with a TV that also supports ARC.... 3. ... with the ARC feature turned ON in both units. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

I'm not sure.... I don't see anywhere that is says ARC - but I do use one remote for everything. I have one cable from receiver to tv and one cable from sound bar to tv and the blue ray is plugged into the receiver. Sorry I don't really know about ARC - I'm glancing thru the book - and haven't seen anything about ARC YET ...... Maybe contact BOSE to confirm 1800 736-5076

HDMI 1.3 and 1.4 both are rated at the same MHZ and bandwidth, so it should work based off of specs, however, 1.4 allows for the use of "ARC", audio return channel. I do not know if it will support ARC.

My Sony is older and does not have ARC, but occasionally the command pass through seems to work. Mostly from the (Sony) Blu Ray. Generally it's worth having the HDMI connection, if only to automatically shutdown the Soundbar when the TV is turned off.

I got mine to work using the arc input. I tried all others and it would not work. Same hdmi cable just a different port on my tv/soundbar.

Dear T.M.,Thank you for your question regarding our BlueRigger HDMI cables! Our HDMI cables do support ARC for audio return. The 75 foot and 100 foot HDMI cables are unidirectional and don't support the ARC.Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions.Thanks,BlueRigger LLCservice@bluerigger.com

I had problems connecting it using HDMI even though my TV supports this type of connection (HDMI ARC). This is an LG TV and I just couldn't get it to work. Ended up using the optical connection which works great.

From your AV reciever, use an HDMI from the TV-out slot to the TV HDMI slot that supports ARC. It will say ARC below the port you are looking for. You may have to program your reciever to recognize HDMI-ARC (check your owners manual) but this will send all audio from the TV to your reciever using only the one HDMI cable. This reduces cables and will do exactly what you are asking.

I prefer to hook my critical video equipment, especially reference equipment, directly to my monitor. You can use the ARC HDMI to get TV sound out of the Receiver. there 'has' to be 'some' information lost in the translation, imo.

Mine does not have arc and I've had no issues - Xbox and PS4 HDMI into sound bar and one HDMI out from sound bar to the TV.

If you do not have an ARC HDMI connection on your TV use the digital output on your TV to the digital Input on your receiver with a Toslink cable. This is what I had to do and it works perfectly.
