When should you use a Digital Optical Cable instead of HDMI ARC or eARC? In this video we'll look at the pros and cons of each connection type and what to do when ARC is giving you problems. HDMI eARC gives you the best audio formats such as Dolby Atmos and DTS X. How do you connect Digital Optical? What about HDMI Fibre Cables? All these things will be covered. When HDMI ARC is not working well there are ways to combine Optical and HDMI together to keep the control over the Soundbar or Home Theatre System from the TV remote.
