Hi JW, we recommend taking advantage of the HDMI ARC support of this soundbar. An HDMI ARC connection preserves audio quality or simulates a setup where you have your devices connected to this soundbar, additionally, it eliminates the need for an optical cable.

I'm not big on the arc feature on most tvs connecting to a receiver or sound bar, my experience they are to many drop it's off sound when connected using the arc feature, I personally like running all video and audio signals through a receiver or sound bar and just output video to the TV.
