how to hook up cox cable, samsung smart tv, jbl S400 sound bar, and apple tv

[Schneider68]

I have Cox Cable, a Samsung smart tv (55"). I just purchased a JBL S400 Sound Bar and an Apple TV. I can now receive Apple TV only. The Samsung has 4 HDMI outlets. Should I connect cable directly to the TV and use the ARC Out to connect to the JBL Sound Bar, and connect the Apple TV to the Sound Bar? Or should I connect the Apple TV directly to the Samsung, and the Sound Bar to the TV?

The cable box and apple tv should each be connected to the TV via their own HDMI input.

The soundbar should be connected to the TV.
