HDMI ARC Soundbars buying guides
HDMI ARC soundbars use a single HDMI cable to carry TV sound to the bar, which is why many people want one. ARC stands for audio return channel. The best HDMI ARC soundbars work with your TV remote, so one button controls the volume. Check that your TV has an HDMI port marked ARC. Without it, you'd need an optical cable instead.
