You have to remove the HDMI to the Amp and connect the Beam there, you can’t have two sets of Front speakers.

Then connect the Amp to the Beam as surrounds so the existing speakers will play the rear channels.

Then connect the Sub-mini to the Beam.

There is only one HDMI port on back of beam.  So if I plug beam HDMI into TV HDMI arc, then the HDMI from amp has nowhere to plug into Beam.

The Amp ‘bonds’ to the Beam as a surround speaker driver, using a hidden 5Ghz signal, there’s no physical connection between the two devices. But you need to not turn off the WiFi/radio on the Beam, so that it can make that connection.
