If your TV is only five years old, more than likely it has an HDMI ARC port. What specific Samsung model is it?

If it has an HDMI ARC port, then the Arcana will work just fine with your TV and Sonos Arc. I was an early adopter of the Arcana and have used it for over a year with an 8-year old plasma TV and a Sonos Arc and haven’t had any issues.

Your TV is equipped with HDMI ARC on the HDMI IN 2 port:

The Arcana should work just fine with your TV.

The TV connects from HDMI IN 2 (ARC) to HDMI OUT on the Arcana. The Sonos Arc connects to eARC OUT on the Arcana. The Xbox, or any other external media device, connects to HDMI IN on the Arcana. If you want to connect multiple external devices to the Arcana, you will need an HDMI switch. This ROOFULL switch works well with the Arcana:

HDFury also recommends using HDMI cables from KabelDirekt, Cable Matters, or Zeskit. But you should still use the Sonos-supplied HDMI cable to connect the Arc to the Arcana.

Because your TV is older, you need to keep the Arcana connected to your TV to get Dolby Atmos audio. NOTE: The Arcana has no affect on your TV’s native streaming apps. It only affects the audio from external devices connected to the Arcana.

If you want a media device that supports Dolby Atmos audio on the most apps, get an Apple TV 4K or Nvidia Shield.
