For older TVs, an optical adapter is included so you can connect to the HDMI port for digital sound, but those TV voice controls won’t work with this method. For this and other functions like volume control to work, your TV needs to support HDMI ARC and have an available ARC-compatible HDMI port so you can connect it to the Beam. Using a feature of the HDMI standard called ARC, the Beam can translate a spoken command like “Alexa, turn on living room TV” into an HDMI-CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) signal that actually turns on your TV.
