3. Setup Guide
Setting up your GEOYEAO Sound Bar is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to connect it to your television or other devices.
3.1. Connecting to Your TV (HDMI ARC Recommended)
For the best audio quality and seamless control, connecting via HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) is recommended. This allows your TV to send audio to the sound bar and often enables control of the sound bar's volume using your TV remote.
- Locate the HDMI ARC port on your TV. It is usually labeled "HDMI ARC" or "HDMI eARC".
- Connect one end of the provided HDMI cable to the HDMI ARC port on your TV.
- Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI (ARC) input on your sound bar.
- Connect the power adapter to the sound bar and plug it into a power outlet.
- Turn on both your TV and the sound bar.

3.2. Alternative Connections
The sound bar also supports other wired and wireless connections:
- Optical Connection: Use the optical cable to connect the sound bar's OPTICAL input to your TV's optical output. This provides a high-fidelity digital signal.
- AUX Connection: Use the 3.5mm AUX cable to connect the sound bar's AUX input to your device's audio output. Note that analog signals may have distortion or background noise.
- Coaxial Connection: Connect a coaxial cable (not included) from your TV's coaxial output to the sound bar's COAXIAL input for another digital audio option.
- Bluetooth 5.3: For wireless streaming from smartphones, tablets, or other Bluetooth-enabled devices.

3.3. TV Sound Settings Optimization
To ensure your sound bar receives the best possible audio signal, adjust your TV's audio output settings. These settings can vary by TV brand, but generally involve:
- Set Audio Output to "Dolby Digital" for 5.1 surround sound content.
- Switch to "PCM" for stereo content (music, older content) to prevent audio issues.
- Enable "Passthrough Mode" for pure, unprocessed audio, if available.
Refer to your TV's user manual for specific menu navigation (e.g., TV Menu > Sound > Audio Output > Advanced Settings).

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your sound bar.
