When connecting a directional hdmi cable between the tv’s eArc port and the Sonos Arc, which direction should the arrow go? Towards the tv or towards the arc? My first thought was that the sound goes from the tv to the arc, but someone told me the opposite. Just looking for clarification. Thanks.

Arrow will point towards the TV.  

The direction indicates the direction normal video and audio flow, not the direction of the Audio Return Channel (ARC).   I have setup a couple TVs this way and verify that it’s correct.
