Hi,

 

I have the sonos beam connected to my tv sony AF8 on the hdmi arc port.

But iam considering changing it to the optical audio output because i need the hdmi port to another hardware. My question is:

Is big the difference between hdmi arc por vs optical audio output?

You lose HDMI CEC. There is no change in the audio, both are Dolby Digital.

Hi, I have the logitech harmony hub. Very good remote also for the automation scenes, integration with others hardwares and lights. Recommend 100%
