Connections

Connect the Sound Bar to Your TV

1. Plug one end of the HDMI cable into the eARC/ARC port on your TV.

2. Plug the other end of the HDMI cable into the eARC/ARC port on the sound bar.

Important: Ensure you connect to the HDMI port labeled "eARC" or "ARC" on your TV. If your TV does not have an eARC or ARC port, connect the sound bar using the optical cable. Note that an optical connection does not support Dolby Atmos®.
