I’m adding a Polk sound bar to my LG SG8500. They say I must connect the arc hdmi input on my tv to the POLK HDMI. Do I simply use another hdmi tv input for my Apple 4K/

Yes, you can do that.

One HDMI on the TV to connect to the Apple TV, and the HDMI-ARC port on the TV to connect to the HDMI-ARC port on the soundbar.

Apple TV → [HDMI] → TV → [HDMI-ARC] → soundbar

Alternatively, if your soundbar has multiple HDMI inputs (some models do), you can also connect it with the audio equipment as the hub, if you find that more convenient.

Apple TV → [HDMI] → soundbar → [HDMI-ARC] → TV

Appreciate the reply. The sound bar has one hdmi. I’ve done as you have suggested, hdmi from arc2 on tv, to sound bar hdmi. This is what Polk advised as well. Hdmi also from Apple 4K to tv hdmi2. All I have is internal sound and picture. I’ve double checked sound inputs on

LG, utilizing both internal and external sources as simultaneous (until soundbar is emitting, then I’ll turn off internal).
