Sonos Beam - Multiple Devices (TV, BT TV, Xbox & Apple TV)

Sonos Beam - How do you connect multiple devices. Can i connect multiple devices and switch seamlessly. So for instance i have an LG TV (with ARC), BT Box, Apple TV and Xbox One S. How do i connect all to use the beam? Will it automatcally pick up the sound if i connect the beam my TV via the ARC port? Or would i need to hook each up to the beam using HDMI/Optical?

Thoughts please?

Your TV inputs should connect directly to the TV, and the audio from these sources will go from the TV to the Beam via the HDMI-ARC (Audio Return Channel) or optical connections.

    Ah nice one, i didn’t realise ARC worked in this way. That’s good news! Thanks for confirming mate 😃 I only have three HDMI inputs on my TV so I presume I’m going to lose one for the Beam. I could resolve this with a splitter i suppose
