    Hello! Jonbo,

    Thank you for your post in the Roku Community!

    We appreciate your inquiry about setting up a Roku Streambar on your Sony Bravia TV and are pleased to assist you. Yes, all Roku Streambars have optical cables for TVs that don't support HDMI-ARC ports.

    To simplify the setup and use of your Streambar, we recommend using the HDMI port on your TV labeled ARC. Since your TV doesn't have the HDMI port labeled ARC, you need to connect the included optical cable to get audio from your TV and connect the devices to your Streambar.

    When using an optical cable, be sure to remove the protective plastic cap from each end before inserting the connectors. Failing to do so may result in a faulty connection or cable or optical port damage.

    Thanks,
