The original Arc is the previous 11-driver SKU. This rewrite drops that.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Whether Q-Symphony works on a Hisense U7<\/h3><p>Samsung\u2019s Q800F footnote limits Q-Symphony to 2022\u20132025 Samsung TVs. A U7 passes Atmos over HDMI eARC. It does not join the TV\u2019s 40 W or 2.1.2 pack to the bar the Samsung way. Use eARC and CEC.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Which HDMI jack on the U7 is the soundbar jack<\/h3><p>Hisense\u2019s U7N sheet lists HDMI eARC &#038; CEC as yes, plus a separate optical output. On U7Q \/ U7NQ family sheets the eARC pin is HDMI 3. Plug the bar into the jack marked eARC, then set the TV digital audio output to the external system. Optical is the fallback if a bar has no HDMI.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Whether AX5125H plus a U7N gets Hi-Concerto<\/h3><p>The AX5125H sheet lists EzPlay and Roku TV Ready. It does not list Hi-Concerto as a U7N feature. Treat the kit as eARC 5.1.2 with wireless rears. Do not buy it to keep the TV speakers running in concert.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Why Q990D is not on the Top 3<\/h3><p>The U8 soundbar page already uses HW-Q990D as Overall. A U7 is the mid Mini-LED: 40 W on the U7N sheet, 2.1.2 on the U75QG page. eARC does not require an 11.1.4 four-box kit to leave the TV speakers.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>Final Verdict<\/h2>\n<div class=\"conclusion-module verdict-box\">\n  <div class=\"verdict-picks\">\n  <div class=\"verdict-item\">\n  <span class=\"verdict-label\">\ud83c\udfc6 Best Overall:<\/span>\n  <div class=\"verdict-product\"><strong>Sonos Arc Ultra<\/strong> <span class=\"verdict-reason\">\u2013 Current eARC Atmos bar. 14 drivers, 2.95 in tall, cable in the box.<\/span><\/div>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=Sonos+Arc+Ultra&#038;tag=e6890-20&#038;linkCode=osi\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"verdict-btn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Buy Now<\/a>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"verdict-item\">\n  <span class=\"verdict-label\">\ud83d\udc8e Best Value:<\/span>\n  <div class=\"verdict-product\"><strong>Samsung HW-Q800F<\/strong> <span class=\"verdict-reason\">\u2013 5.1.2 plus a wireless sub.
