from your ARC-compliant TV to your soundbar through a single HDMI
connection. To enjoy the ARC function, please ensure that your TV is both
HDMI-CEC and ARC compliant and set up accordingly. When correctly set
up, the CEC feature allows you to adjust the volume output (VOL +/– and
MUTE) of the soundbar with the TV remote control. When you switch your
TV on/off with your remote control, you soundbar will also be switched
on/off. Be patient that it might take a few seconds for your TV to tell your
Soundbar to switch on or off.

to fully operate with all HDMI-CEC enabled devices. This is NOT a
