How to connect Vizio Soundbar to Apple TV 4K without HDMI Out?

I got a wireless Vizio 5.1 soundbar and trying to get it to work with my appletv 4k and Vizio tv. The directions say to connect an HDMI cable from the appletv to the arc input on the soundbar and connect another hdmi cable from the soundbar out to the tv but my soundbar doesn’t have an hdmi out. I don’t know how to get the signal from the soundbar to the tv since my soundbar doesn’t have an hdmi out? Any help or info would be greatly appreciated.

I own the same speaker system also.

The simple answer is, connect the Apple TV via HDMI to the HDMI 1 input on your television. Then connect another HDMI cable from the arc HDMI on the back of the TV to the Vizio e Arc HDMI port on the sound bar using the cable that came with the speaker. Then it will all work perfectly.
