The last thing you mentioned about using another HDMI input on the TV while still transporting the sound through HDMI ARC, was for me the reason watching this video. Thank you for clarifying!

Thank you! The salesman at Best Buy kept saying that I’d have to get the $600 sound bar versus the $400 sound bar because it has the extra HDMI ports directly on the sound bar itself. I could’ve sworn that using the HDMI arc input I would be able to get the sound from anything else I plugged into the TV. Thanks for confirming.

Many thanks
Congrats

The best explanation so far on setting up a HDMI ARC port on a TV and soundbar. Even I understand it clearly.

Wow! I was trying to get sound via our QLed Arc to our Klipsch Fives for hours before I found your video while searching for a solution. Your instructions were spot on and the sound is phenomenal now. Added bonus is we can control everything with a single remote. Thank you for posting this great tutorial!

I can't thank you enough for posting this video. After spending all day attempting to get this right, I finally have sound!! Such a concise and accurate demonstration. You're the best!

Wow! I had to dig deep into my TV menu to find 'CEC' but I found it - checked it - and it works! Thank you so much! There is NO WAY I would have done this without this video!

Thanks...had my Sony sound bar packed up and ready to return. Watched your video and made changes in tv settings . You saved my day. You have no idea how much you helped.

At been reading all about sounders BUT you have been the only folk who have taken the proper way to sort this all out.
I have had an expensive soundbar for a week now and have not been able to use it.
not one person has explained how to get the sound from the tv.
toy folk deserve a high mention and all the accolades going
thanks very much

Turning on the CEC was what worked for me. Life Saver! Much appreciated!

[mimicastaneda]

Thank you so much! My husband was getting crazy and prety sure his blood pressure got high trying to set up our bar sistem! Lol
Thankfully I found you! He's at peace now and enjoying movie's time!

[dhunter]

Wow.. your instructions were simple and direct. Other posts over complicate, I guess in an effort to show how smart they are. Finally, got a good understanding thanks to you.

[BillFromDaShore]

This is exactly what I needed! Thanks! Didn't know what CEC was, now I do and my soundbar works.

[fluffymurkin]

I am not tech savvy. This tutorial let me atleast kinda know what I was looking for. I only cried once!

[sandiegogal]

Thank you! After 2 hours, I almost gave up! You saved me!

[rdplanetimmigrant]

thank you. i saw 2 other videos that were complete waste of time. the hosts were in front of the camera more than the equipment and operation. this was a good video.

Hey, thanks for taking the time and effort to explain ARC and specifically show the HDMI hookups needed to make it work properly. Really appreciate your tutorial.

As a new guy to a soundbar system with ARC, you did a clear and easy to understand explanation, thank you. Keep it up.
