1. Connecting with a TV

Are there any HDMI IN jacks labeled "ARC" on your TV?

YES

Use an HDMI cable (not supplied) to connect an HDMI IN jack on your TV and the HDMI OUT (TV (ARC)) jack on the Bar Speaker. Make sure that the cable is firmly inserted.

NO

When your TV does not have an HDMI IN jack labeled "ARC," you also need to connect the TV and the Bar Speaker via the optical digital cable (supplied) as instructed in step. There will be no sound output from the TV if the TV and the Bar Speaker are connected only via the HDMI cable.
