Steps:

Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the ARC/eARC port on your TV.
Connect the other end into the HDMI ARC port on the soundbar.
Press the "ARC" button on the remote control to select "ARC" input.

HDMI Connection Types:

HDMI IN: Standard input for devices, supports audio/video but not ARC/eARC.
HDMI ARC: Supports two-way communication for audio return from TV to soundbar.
HDMI eARC: Enhanced Audio Return Channel, supports higher quality audio formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.

Note: When ARC is connected, your TV remote can control the soundbar (on/off, volume). If no sound, try setting TV audio output to PCM: TV Settings > Home > Settings > Sound > Digital Audio Output > PCM.

5 Connect to TV via Optical / Coaxial / AUX

Option 1: Optical

Connect the Optical cable from the TV's 'DIGITAL AUDIO OUT' port to the soundbar's 'OPTICAL' port. Ensure TV port is OPTICAL OUT. Mute or minimize TV volume if internal speakers are active.

Option 2: Coaxial

Connect the Coaxial cable from the TV's 'AUDIO OUTPUT' port to the soundbar's 'COAXIAL' port. Ensure TV port is COAXIAL OUT. Mute or minimize TV volume if internal speakers are active.

Option 3: AUX

Use the 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio cable to connect your TV's 'RCA AUDIO OUT' port to the soundbar's 'AUX' port.

Note: If there is no sound, try setting the TV audio output to PCM: TV Settings > Home > Settings > Sound > Digital Audio Output > PCM.
