Using the HDMI eARC connection lets the bar receive full resolution movie soundtracks as intended from the TV while simplifying setup to a single HDMI cable, ensuring high quality audio transmission with minimal fuss.

Reviewers appreciate the inclusion of an HDMI eARC port, which makes it simple to route TV sound through the speakers and control volume via the TV remote. This helps them slot neatly into modern living-room setups without extra boxes, though a few owners with certain Samsung TVs report handshake issues that require using the optical input and the KEF remote instead.

Standard HDMI ARC support covers everyday TV audio needs but lacks eARC bandwidth, limiting the system to core formats rather than the latest lossless immersive soundtracks.
