Read my sound bar buying advice for more information. One quick note of caution: if your sound bar didn't come with a remote, you may run into an annoying problem in which your TV will display an onscreen error message when you adjust the sound bar's volume.
On our main home-theater testing TV, we needed to select Sound, then Speaker Select, then choose External Speaker. The exact process will differ depending on the type of TV you have, so you may need to consult the manual. That generally doesn't sound that good, so you'll want to disable your TV's internal speaker. If you made all the connections properly, you should be hearing sound from your sound bar, but you may be getting sound from both your TV and sound bar. Disable your TV's internal speakers By setting your TV to use an external speaker, you'll disable the TV's built-in speakers. That means less fumbling for additional remotes. What's nice is there's never any need to change the input on the sound bar, since it's all coming in through a single connection. So if you've connected your cable box to HDMI 1 and selected that input, the TV will output the cable box's audio from the TV's audio output. Once you've made this connection, the TV will output the audio from whichever input you've selected. The digital audio output is best if both your TV and sound bar support it, but the analog audio output will work nearly as well.
(If you don't have an audio output on your TV, this method won't work for you.) You'll want to connect your TV's audio output to one of the inputs on your sound bar.
If you look look at the back of your TV, you'll likely see either a digital and analog audio output, although some TVs have both. Connect your TV's audio output to your sound bar Use your TV's digital audio output (upper left) to connect to your sound bar. If you have devices that only support analog video (looking at you, Nintendo Wii), most TVs still have at least one analog input. In most cases, this will mean simply connecting an HDMI cable from your TV to one of your TV's HDMI inputs. Connect your home theater devices to your TV In most cases, you'll just need to connect all your home theater gear to your TV's HDMI inputs.įirst you'll want to connect all your home theater devices (DVR, game console, and so on) directly to your TV.
