Default Need help in Connecting a new DVD player to TV........ I am not a techie person

I have a 2 yr old 52" TV and it does not have a DVD slot. Grrrr. Now just bought from Best Buy a separate plug in DVD unit. Then had to buy a HDMI cord. Thought it would be easy to just plug it in.....Nope.

What's the difference between an HDMI 1/ARC and an HDMI 2 port on the TV?

Do I just connect HDMI Cable *1*2 of the DVD unit, directly to TV where I have two slots, an HDMI 1 and another HDMI 2?

There are other choices which say "Connecting to TV via Sound Bar/AV amplifier (receiver)" What are they for?

I have Comcast internet and TV service. What are the choices 4k AV amplifier and Non-4K AV amplifier choices for?

Does this have to be wired thru the modem or directly to the TV?
