A:AnswerIf you have it plugged in by HDMI to the cable box it's best if you connect it to your tv arc connection intend so the TV can control when it turns on and off
A:AnswerHi Confused! Many of the buttons on your remote feature multiple functions. Pressing in the volume button will mute or unmute the sound while rocking the button up and down will adjust the volume level.

A:AnswerThis is not correct! If you use an optical cable and HDMI ARC, you can use a Bluetooth transmitter connected to the optical at the same time that you are connected to HDMI ARC. After initial setup, just don't change audio output from soundbar from HDMI to optical. Leave it alone! I have this setup. Remember to manually change the Dolby Digital output in audio settings to PCM leave Bitstream setting active, and you're good to go.
