Ideally the Arc should be connected to the TV’s HDMI ARC port. But you can also connect the Arc to the optical port on the TV using the HDMI to optical adapter that came with the Arc.

Do I need special HDMI lead

No. You connect the adapter to the TV and the supplied HDMI cable to the adapter on one end and the Arc on the other.

Sorry about the misunderstanding I’ll get some help to lift tv from wall the HDMI that come with arc is too short need to buy longer is there a special HDMI lead I need or any will do

TY for all your help given

Any will do. You’re sending sound, not images that need large bandwith…..

Ty to all the help everyone has given I’m ready to setup

going to be exciting day changing over from play bar to ARC
