2. Connect one end of an HDMI cable (not included, but typically comes with TVs or can be purchased separately) to the HDMI ARC port on your TV.
3. Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI ARC input on the speaker's charging dock.
4. Ensure your TV's audio output settings are configured to "HDMI ARC" or "External Speaker". Refer to your TV's user manual for specific instructions.

Optical Connection
