My TV doesn't have an optical output.

Hello, I recently purchased an LG TV (43lj500v), but once I got home, I realized that it doesn't have an optical output! However, my soundbar (equipped with 7.1 Dolby Digital Atmos technology) needs to connect via optical. I would like to know if there is any way to connect it otherwise while maintaining the sound quality of my soundbar.

Thank you in advance, best regards, William.

    In HDMI the sound is good too. If the soundbar has this connection...

      Hello,
      Yes, but only if the TV has the HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) function and that doesn't seem to be the case... our friend williamrsd needs to check if there's ARC written next to the HDMI port and if his soundbar has an HDMI ARC, which I doubt...
