6. Adjusting TV Settings for Optical Cable
When using the optical connection, it is crucial to configure your TV's audio output settings correctly to ensure sound is transmitted to the soundbar and to avoid issues like no sound or distorted audio. Follow these general steps:
- Access Sound Settings: Navigate to your TV's 'Settings' menu, then find 'Sound' or 'Audio Output'.
- Select Optical Output: Choose 'Optical' as the sound output method.
- Set Digital Audio Output Format: Within the sound settings, locate 'Digital Audio Output Format' or similar. Select 'PCM' or 'Stereo Sound'. Avoid 'Bitstream' or 'Dolby Digital' if your soundbar does not explicitly support them, as this can lead to no sound.
- Disable Dolby/DTS: To prevent silent or noisy output, especially from streaming apps (Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, HBO, Hulu, YouTube, etc.), it is recommended to disable Dolby/DTS on your TV. Look for options like 'Dolby Digital' or 'DTS' and set them to 'Off' or 'PCM'.
