“Confused about whether this is optical or hdmi arc as it says "Send audio and control information from your TV using just one cable with HDMI ARC" but lists the optical cable as being included and says there are no hdmi inputs and one optical input.”

• It has a single HDMI input and so the ARC capability but the HDMI cable is not included, It comes with an optical cable

• Both work just depends what you want to use. Though it doesn't come with an HDMI cable so you need to connect your own.

• Soundbar includes both HDMI/ARC and digital audio connections. I hooked it up to a 32" Emerson TV with HDMI/ARC and it did not work. However, using the digital audio connection worked fine.

• The soundbar has an optical input and a HDMI ARC. You can use either however HDMI will require a separate cable purchase as only optical cable is included.
