Thank you so much for your answer.

One question please.

You said that I need to contact my Apple Tv regular to the tv HDMI port.

But Apple said that if I want to get Dolby Atmos I need to contact it to the soundbar...

So if I will connect It regular is the Dolbyy Atmos will work..?

I have Sony Bravia 65xf90 with arc ( not earc)

Thank you again

Best regards

Ron

You don't connect the Apple TV to the Sonos Arc.

Connect your Apple TV by regular HDMI to your TV as normal. Connect the Sonos Arc to your TV using the TV's HDMI ARC/eARC input - which is a special HDMI input (ARC stands for Audio Return Channel) that allows the TV to sync it's own audio or the audio coming in from another HDMI device (like the Apple TV) to the soundbar.

eARC supports Dolby Atmos, TrueHD, MAT, Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby Digital

ARC may support Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital Plus, or Dolby Digital, depending on your TV. It doesn't support TrueHD or MAT.

If your TV doesn't have ARC or eARC, you'll have to connect the Sonos to the TV using the optical adapter. But whether your TV has this, and whether the optical port can support Dolby Atmos (or any other formats) depends on the specifications of the TV.
