Sonos Arc TV Connection:
Though most TVs are ideal for Sonos home theatre systems, others could require some sort of additional setup. And some TV’s may not support Sonos at all. When connecting Sonos speakers with your TV, there are a few fundamental criteria that must be met.
Conditions for Sonos Arc to connect with TV:
In order to use CEC, Amazon Alexa, or Google Assistant to manage your TV, you’ll need a TV having an HDMI ARC connection.

When using the optical connection, you will be unable to operate your TV through CEC or voice.
If you don’t find some of the ports or menu choices, refer to the guidebook or contact customer support for your TV.

Sonos Arc supports the playback of Dolby Atmos audio. But To play Dolby Atmos material, they must be linked to HDMI ARC or HDMI eARC. So, while connecting Sonos Arc to TV that the external source is set to output Dolby Digital or if it is not mentioned then to Bitstream.
