    I had watched several other videos on connecting soundbars, and managed to get my setup connected- the wrong way. Only when watching this video did it get across to me that my former hub-based view of electronics wasn’t how HDMI-ARC works. Before acquiring a soundbar, my history in entertainment electronics centered around plugging all components into a receiver, and using that to control the system as desired. Now that the receiver is gone, I have only the soundbar, smart TV, and a streaming device. Once I realized that the soundbar now acts as the central link in a daisy-chain between the streaming device and TV, everything fell into place. Ten thumbs-up for this short but very helpful video.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍.

    I read on a few different forums that connecting via hdmi from console to sound bar to tv can add video input lag. Not sure if this has ever been tested or not, but unless it's a direct passthrough, I imagine it does add a little bit of input lag. Some older soundbars can't passthrough 4k either, so beware of that as well if you have a 4k tv 🙂
    My recommendation is to connect hdmi console to tv, then soundbar to tv via arc separately 👍

    I was having issues connecting the instabox S60M to my tv. The only option I had was the Optical connection as the other options were not available on my tv. I finally came across your video and you mentioned that some sound bars aren’t compatible while on Dolby sound.....that’s what my problem was, so a simple change from Dolby Digital to PCM solves my frustrating issue. Thank You so much for that very important minor detail!!!!

It replaced a 15 year old Harmon Kardon 2.1 repurposed PC setup that worked okay, but was starting to short out. I'm on analog input for now until I upgrade TV to new 4k.

    @AndreaLewis1984 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks so much. Finally, after hours of searching, calling TCL for help, you sir, have solved my problem. I purchased a new TCL Roku Tv and connected it to my Vizio soundbar and it was working perfectly UNTIL I wanted to watch something using Roku apps. When I would switch, I lost sound from the soundbar and would have to raise volume on the tv. I also have no hdmi port on the soundbar. Also the soundbar optical cable had ran straight into the cable box. Once I watched your video, I removed the optic cable of the soundbar and ran it directly into the optic port of the tv and success, I now have sound both ways into the soundbar. TCL wanted me to buy a second hdmi cable as their solution but as I said, I had no hdmi port on the soundbar so I was confused on how I was to make that connection. THANKS FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE.

    Great video. It came in handy since I just purchased my first soundbar. I have a smart LG TV and a Toshiba soundbar and although they both support ARC I only have two HDMI ports on my TV (and need those for my Xbox and Blueray player--yes I still use one), and only one HDMI port on my soundbar. I did not have an optical cable on hand so I tried the bluetooth + TV speaker combination and despite selecting the 'no delay' option for the soundbar it still created a strange echo effect as the audio from the TV speaker was always a split second ahead of the soundbar. Anyway, I decided to finally go with the optical connection as both the soundbar and TV have those ports available. Cheers.
