Hi,

I've just ordered an LG C34 with the LG SN5 soundbar bundle. I've never had a soundbar before and just want to make sure I have the right cables and a vauge idea of how to use it...

Pretty much only going to be using an AppleTV 4k box with this TV, how do you connect this? Is it ATV HDMI -> Soundbar -> TV HDMI EARC?
Do I have to have an EARC cable over a standard HDMI cable? They look like they are for 8k inputs only? And if so, is it 2x EARC cables or just one of them?
Can I expect the ATV remote to turn on the soundbar at the same time it turns on the TV? i.e. avoid using multiple remotes.

Also might be silly question, but if I have another HDMI device, does that involve manually changing the the soundbar input cable each time? As the SN5 just has one HDMI input, looks like it also has optical.

Thanks for any help :)
