I just bought a Beam and my Lg model number 49LJ5100-UC Does not appear to have hdmi arc input slot or the optical selections. I bought this for Christmas and have no idea what to do next. How can I get this set up?

Yea pretty bare bones - what is your video source (cable box) - it should have optical you can attach direct to source the optical cable.

    You will need something like this to split of the audio from HMDI. https://www.amazon.com/iArkPower-Optical-Extractor-Splitter-Supports/dp/B01K7BZ1XC

    Hi - sounds like I have similar problem. I have 2011 Samsung tv model LD3D403E4D. It has no Arc or optical port. Which adaptor would you recommend? Many thanks

    I would recommend plugging the beam into source like the optical out of cable box.

    Thanks Chris - I don’t have a source except Roku. Is there a switch/convertor that could work? Possible via the RCA or HDMI ports?
