Thank You very much for this link. It could help I’m sure. For reasonable price.
I will check Because I need to understand clearly how it works.
Just in case you decide for any reason not to get a new TV, I thought I would explain the Extractor.
I’m assuming that your Source has an HDMI Output. You would run an HDMI cable from the Source Output to the HDMI Input of the J-Tech. Then you would run a HDMI cable from the J-Tech HDMI Output to the HDMI Input of the TV. In addition, you would need a Optical cable. The Optical cable would run from the JTech Optical Output to the Sonos Optical to HMDI adapter. Then plug the HDMI end of the Adapter into the Sonos speaker.
All the best,
Thank You Very Much MSterling for these very clear explanations.
With a minor investment, I should be able to connect my actual TV with the ARC.
Does Dolby Sound from ARC work ?
Many thanks for your help,

The HDMI switch would have the optical out port, hence the phrase ‘split the audio out before the signal reaches the TV’ that I used.
Thank you for your explanation. But I still don’t understand.
Forgive me and forget.
I will buy a new TV : this one is to old and small. :)
Good decision!

Are you sure your TV lacks optical output? What is the model #?
It is illegal to sell a TV in the USA without optical out, but you are in France so I guess you are still using SCART connections?
Hello,
Thank you for your answer.
Yes I’m in France.
I'm using HDMI connections. Or sometimes jack connections. No more SCART connections but I could if it could help to connect ARC

Thank you Airgetlam for your answer and advices.
But if I have simple HDMI ports on my TV, I’ve no optical port. Then how connect the optical port to ARC ? Or does exist a female optical- HDMI connection ?
Thank you in advance for your help and explanations,
