Sonos Arc SL not connecting to TV after playing music

I have the new Sonos Arc SL with two Sonos One SLs and a sub gen 3. After playing music from my iPhone to the Sonos Arc and then I turn on the tv, the Arc does not connect to the tv. I will have to unplug the hdmi cable and plug it back before I get tv audio. 
This only happens when the tv has been off while I’m playing music then I turn on the tv. 
Is anyone experiencing this with the Arc SL? Or Arc generally. Thank you.

If the problem resurfaces, you could try using a different HDMI cable.

@Gerscolin Do you have two One SLs and are they connected to your Arc as surrounds? Are you watching a 5.1 source?
