Hey guys can just explain to me how should by soundbar be connected ti my TV. So i have a LG 65 4k snart TV a sound bar android box, unifi and astro. Right now the tv is connected to the soundbar via optical. And other sources to the tv via hdmi. Should i do it this way or connect everything to the soundbar via hdmi and the soundbar to the tv via hdmi arc?

You do not need optical anymore.

Connect the TV's HDMI (ARC) to soundbar (HDMI), by doing so TV sound will be sent to soundbar automatically when u use ARC - Audio Return Channel.

For the rest of devices, you have 2 options
1. Connect them to soundbar (HDMI), video will be sent to TV via the existing HDMI ARC connection.
2. Connect them to TV's HDMI, TV will output the sound if you do not turn on soundbar.

Thanks for the clarification
