SONY confirmed to me on the phone that you cant get the Volume display, Sound Mode display etc working through HDMI ARC connected devices, and it only displays on the HDMI connected Device.

I asked them about a Software update to address in which they did not respond, considering this is a new Soundbar I cant believe the support is this bad from SONY

This is a real bummer and I will be sending it back in the next few days.

Good one SONY, and the very last time I purchase a product from you
