To make your TV ARC compatible, ensure your TV and audio device both support ARC (Audio Return Channel). Connect the HDMI cable to the ARC-enabled HDMI ports on both devices. Then, enable CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) settings in the TV's menu for proper communication. This setup will allow audio to travel from the TV to the audio device through the same HDMI cable, simplifying your audio setup.
