Jensen JWM20 Cube television audio?

Does the new 2021 Jensen cube stereo play audio from the television when you're watching over an antenna or cable? I don't see HDMI ARC mentioned in the Jensen Cube's user manual. Does it work via the RCA aux inputs maybe?

    I haven't actually had cable or antenna hooked up to the TV so I can't verify that use case. But I can tell you that if you have a HDMI device plugged into the Jensen, it will play sound via the TV speakers even when the Jensen's input is set to BT...so it may work in reverse as well?
    The Jensen TV does support ARC...and there is an HDMI cable connected between the TV and Cube - so it might work.

    Having just looked at the TV...it does also have RCA stereo audio out...so it must play over the Cube for Antenna and Cable. Guessing that's what the Aux input setting is for on the Cube...

    Has anyone been able to verify if over the air television can play the sound through the JWM20/JWM22 Cube or not?

    I have connected an external antenna to the cable port in the Nautilus box of my 2021 T@B400. 
    I then set the Jensen to AUX mode.
    The TV was then able to successfully scan for channels.
    I was able to watch over the air stations on the TV and listen to the sound through the T@B front and rear speakers.
    Is that the functionality that you wanted to be verified?
