Thank you!
I have my echo connected by Bluetooth to Apple TV and I can't believe how well it works. I thought it would be out of sync and just tried it out of curiosity and it works much better than I expected so kept it
Thanks so much ! It was very helpful. I called Amazon and they could not help. You’re awesome!
Glad I could help!
that the answer i need connecting to optical cable great how to thanks.
I have a Samsung smart tv, can I use the Samsung remote control to operate the volume on the echo studio eg, up and down, really informative video by the way, I`ve spent hours looking for info on the echo studio and your video answers 99% of the questions I have , appreciated.
No the Samsung remote won't control the speaker. The only way to control the volume with a remote would be through a fire stick/cube.
@@UTILITARIANTVUK .....that`s what i thought,it`s a shame, great sound , but i`ll be returning it, too many remotes in the house and i dont want to keep saying, alexa volume up/down etc , thanks for the reply, MOST people dont bother.
@@t5jerry if they'd used an HDMI lead instead of optical, it would have been able to use the TV remote via HDMI ARC.
Big respect for listening to feedback and muting the wake word! Another good vid
Hey no problem, and thanks for the tip!
I just bought the white one to pair with my 65" Omni TV, i can confirm that with a amazon tv any source will come through the speaker via the normal cinema setup. However in this mode the EQ control is disabled within the App and on TV which is a bit of an annoyance as i would like to reduce the bass level, only spatial on off toggle works. But overall the sound is good, connection via bluetooth makes the TV lag and unresponsive, i read that bluetooth messes with 5ghz wifi and causes issues streaming 4k content. 🙄
like the features, setup was difficult for some of my devices (August Door lock, th-cam.com/users/postUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-dKeb4aB Bose speaker)... but all switches and outlets (5), thermostat, tankless water heater. Unfortunately all I can do is turn on/off Bose. It doesn't support volume or changing channels, but I believe that is due to the particular speaker I have.... Worth getting if you already have other devices to use it with... I don't sit around and ask Alexa questions much so that doesn't really matter to me....
Thanks for the info. I have an LG TV, with fire cube, ps5, yamaha soundbar, and 2 echo studios. TV and soundbar have ARC. Soundbar has 2 hdmi ports. I get sound from my echo studio speakers using fire cube. When I want to play my game sound only comes from soundbar. I'd there a way to hook everything to work together.
Can you still use the Alexa Voice Command if you connect it with the optical/aux cable?
A little bit more on the left was perfect!!!!
Thank you very much. Exactly what I needed to know :)
Excellent tutorial!!! Thank you very much indeed ;)
Excellent informative video thank you
Thanks!
Wow thank you. You made this so simple
Hi great video, my question is ......do you still get dolby atmos over optical cable. Many thanks.
Unfortunately not, Amazon should have put an HDMI socket but they won't do that as they want us to have to connect to fire TV.
That's a million dollar question, should've mentioned in the video. Glad that you asked!
How do I have the tv sound along with the echo dot. I want the sound from my tv and echo
Cracking video, you answered a lot of questions I had for using a Echo Studio as a soundbar. One question I do have though... If the Eho studio was to one side of my TV and I used a TOSLink cable, does the Echo Studio still do its clever feature of fulfilling the room with 3D sound?
What I mean is would I be hearing my TV sound coming from one side of the TV from the Echo or will the Echo Studio throw its sound around the room so it gives you that surround sound experience but via TOSlink and my TV?
Hi Matt, unfortunately not. You only get Dolby Atmos when connected wirelessly to the latest versions of the fire stick and fire cube.
@@UTILITARIANTVUK ok thanks for your quick reply. How about just using it as a soundbad replacement would it be any good? I just have a simple LG soundbar with sub and with ARC technology that I bought over 3 years ago for £150
@@MattTalkTech it still sounds good when connected via toslink. The only issue being is there's a slight audio lag. No matter what I try, I can't get rid of it.
@@UTILITARIANTVUK ok, many thanks. I might dig deep into my TV settings as I have a Sony TV that has Android TV installed, going to do some googling to see and will let you know how I get on. But from one Brit to another in Isolation, I really do thank you for this video and check out my channel as well :-)
Hi , good video!
I wanted to use the echo as a soundbar with my inbuilt apps on my tv rather than buy a firestick.
I would use a toslink for superior sound from my tv to the echo, BUT
!
Once the cable is in, can i still control the speaker with voice control to play music ? Radio etc (or is it just basic volume up/down)
Thanks
Hi, you would still be able to use the speaker as a normal echo with the toslink plugged in. 👍
The optical option was just what I needed to know ! Thx a lot ! Would you say the Optical is the best option out of the three if we don't care about Atmos ? In terms of clarity I mean... (I intend to do a bit of console gaming on it...)
Thanks for the comment and glad it helped. In answer to your question, I couldn't hear any discernible difference between the toslink/optical cable and WiFi.
This video sold me. I'm getting one
Haha! Hope you enjoy it.
Sound still looks out of sync using optical?
Will my TV remote be able to control the volume? I'm not so much a fan of having to call on Alexa to change the volume. Great video though thanks!
If you have a fire stick, the fire stick remote will control the volume. If it's connected via toslink, the TV remote will control the volume.
When connected via Bluetooth or WI-FI will the sound abso still function via your TV speakers at the same time or is it one or the other? I.e Can the Echo be supplementary ? Thanks?
I just bought Studio, Can I connect Amazon Studio with Amazon FIRE TV option? on my Sony Android TV ? or Do I have to buy Fire TV Stick?
Would it be okay to connect my Echo Studio speaker upto my Pvr Recoder that as an optical cable?And obviously play back the recorded programs through my Echo Studio.
Legend thanks.
Can i use tv speakers and this device at the same time?
I'm afraid not.
GOOD MORNING, BUT IF I CONNECT IN PAIR 2 ECHO STUDIO IS ONE OF THEM CONNECT TO TV WITH THE OPTICAL CABLE I GET THE STEREO AUDIO? OR IT WORKS ONLY WHAT I CONNECT FISIGLY TO THE TV? THANKS
Hey great video thank you. Before I buy, could I confirm that once the optical cable is fitted, you maintain all normal Alexa voice command functionality? Also, when you turn the TV on, does it automatically default to the selected TV optical setting? Thanks I’m advance.
The voice commands are not affected, I have an LG TV and the TV kept to the optical setting. At the time of making this video, there was some audio lag. This may have been addressed with further updates but something to be aware of.
Thanks for the reply. I’ve just purchased my Studio and a good quality Toslink to Mini Toslink cable and I’m still experiencing a slight audio lag - as you mentioned. I’ve been through all the settings but can’t find anyway to address this. Do you have any ideas?
I have a smart tv with all apps. Can i still connect wifi on smart tv or just optical? Tyia
You can connect it to an optical cable.
do you have to use a fire stick ..? i just want to pair with the tv for regular channels
You can add one speaker with a toslink cable but the best is wirelessly via a fire stick.
@UTILITARIAN TV a firestick uses wifi....I use satellite for my TV...and I want to connect two echo studios without using a firestick
Hi i have a apple tv box which is capable of atmos sound and i watch Amazon Prime and netflix through the apple tv box which is connected to my tv via a hdmi cable..My question is would i get the atmos sound via bluetooth from my apple tv (( Apple tv also has bluetooth)) box too the echo studio, or through the wifi of the apple tv, sorry its all a bit confusing to me really?
You'd need a 4k firestick or fire cube to get Dolby Atmos through the studio. The other way to do it would be to get a homepod speaker.
If you wanted to hook up two studios to telly (one as a left speaker, one as a right speaker) via cable, how do you do that? I think TV only has one optical port. RCA? Do the studios have phono ports on?
The only way to do it is with a splitter th-cam.com/video/eRmFYrutujU/w-d-xo.html
Cool. Thanks. Can I turn my TV on and off if I don't have a FireTV and the Echo Studio is connected to the TV via the cable?
Yes it will still work as a smart speaker when the TV is off.
I have tried the optical but getting no sound On the studio I have looked at loads of videos and boards but for some reason my Alexa app doesn’t have the aux bit to change line in and out any help of how I could do this hardwired. Tried Bluetooth for normal tv but lag is noticeable
Thanks for the video, in your opinion what's the best way to connect, I'm thinking of using optical at the moment, do you get the full effect of the speaker with optical, like surround and dolby atmos?
The only way to get Atmos is wirelessly through the fire stick or cube. I did experience some lip synch issues via optical.
@UTILITARIAN TV ok thank you for your reply
@UTILITARIAN TV I've stayed with the wireless connection through my fire tv stick , the sound is brilliant, my only bug is every now and again there's a split second the sound drops off, it's literally the blink of an eye kind of speed, have you experienced that through wireless and do you know how to remedy the issue, there's no lip sync errors which is good though
can i use it as a speaker with just the 3.5 and without bluetooth ?
Yes, it's ok for music but not so much for TV. I found it to have a bit of audio lag.
Hi I have my fire tv and my amazon echo connected as home theater but I have all this connected to a monitor that comes with no speaker included so I can use it with any other console that I have connected to it. My only problem is when I do screen sharing from my phone to the fire tv I don't get audio out of the echo device what can I do?
Which Echo do you have?
Can you add this device to your firestick 4k to watch content on that platform. and at the same time audio cable to use the tv/Netflix content so you can flick between the two platforms without lead swapping etc
You can connect the echo studio to your firestick 4k via wifi and toslink. When it's playing through the firestick, wifi will take priority.
MY TV is Android based TV and Alexa Compatible, Do I have to have Amazon Fire Stick 4k to connect Studio to TV? and will it work only through FIRE STICK App or It can also work with PlaySTORE apps simultaneously or it works individually ?
It will only work wirelessly with the 4k fire stick and the fire cube. Link in the description.
So, if I want the Echo Studio to work with both the Fire TV (to get Dolby Atmos!) and also while watching common tv channels, I have to link the Echo Studio via both the Fire TV AND the optical cable, or the Fire TV is sufficient, and it will also activate the sound while watching regular television? If it's not sufficient and I have to link both ways, won't it conflict? Thanks much to anyone who'll answer! :)
You just need to set your TV sound settings to optical. When you are watching using a fire stick or cube, you turn the TV volume to zero and use the Echo speakers volume. The fire stick remote operates the Echo speaker volume control when paired. One thing worth mentioning, currently, the speaker cannot be paired to a Fire TV ( TV's with a fire operating system built in) it only works with the latest fire stick or cube.
@@UTILITARIANTVUK You are correct sir, my bad: what I meant is Fire stick. So, with a Fire stick, I must lower the TV volume to zero? I actually wanted to use the Echo Studio as an _extra_ speaker adding to the TV's ones, not giving up on them! Also, I thought the transition each time between Fire TV apps and regular tv programs was painless for the Echo Studio, seems it ain't that way, then I might as well pass and only use the echo with the basic optical connection :\
Using the Optical Toslink to Mini Toslink Jack would I be able to hear sound no matter what input or app I'm in.
Yes
I connected my Echo Studio to my TV for sounds, but then the TV did not produce a sound. Only the Echo Studio produced a sound? Can both work at the same time?
Does dolby atmos work with optical cable?
No, it only works through HDMI.
Considering getting a pair of studios but wanted to know if I could get sound out of a bluray or console. I guess I could connect via optical but that would come out of one rather than the pair right??
It is possible with an optical splitter. th-cam.com/video/eRmFYrutujU/w-d-xo.html
Can this be setup without a smart phone, I don't have one.
You can set it up on a pc/laptop via the website.
Can i do echo sub + echo studio + echo dot 4th gen as a HOME Theatre it says either echo studio nor echo dot is not compatible TIA
You have to do 2 of the same speakers plus the sub. So 2 echo dots plus sub or 2 echo studios plus sub. It's likely something Amazon has done so we have to buy more speakers! 👍
I recently purchased two Echo Studio's and a Subwoofer. The audio is nice (i.e., bass, mid range and treble) when playing music from Amazon Music; however, whenever, I play movies, the volume is too low. I can hear the sound all around me; however, I wish it was louder. I feel like I’ve tried everything such as:
• While in Home Theater mode, the only audio setting available is Dolby Digital Plus. The PCM and Dolby Digital options are greyed out.
• Under Devices of the Alexa app, I selected the Echo Studio and confirmed all three speakers are paired. I increased the volume to the max setting.
• Under audio settings on my Fire TV Cube, I toggled both the Volume Leveller and Dialogue Enhancer on and off.
• Under audio settings In the Alexa app, I toggled the “spatial audio” on and off.
• I restarted my Fire TV Cube (even unplugging it)
Have anyone else experienced low volume using the Alexa Home Theater? Is so, any suggestions on how to fix the issue? Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Have you checked whether the adaptive listening is off?
Hello, did you find that the optical in was really quiet meaning when you switched back to Fire TV it was super loud?
Also I am struggling with the optical not being recognised by the studio when you switch back to playing something from the TV. E.g I get no sound.
I actually have the opposite issue, mine sounds louder through optical! I also have the same problem when switching back from WiFi to optical, there's no sound. I have to toggle the sound settings to TV speaker and back to optical to get it working again. This is Amazons first attempt at making a smart speaker that can be used with a toslink cable so hopefully it's just teething problems and will be rectified with an update?
Also my Samsung PVR is a Smart Box Pvr that connects to the internet. obviously it's not 4K. But shouldn't I be able to run it through my Echo Studio using the WiFi plus the Optical Toslink to Mini Toslink cable?And would my commands still work on it even though it would be connected to my PVR RECORDER and not the tv
You should be able to play sound via a toslink. You'll also still be able to use the speaker as a normal echo. However, you won't be able to use your voice to play or pause. This will only work with the fire stick or fire cube.
I would love to buy a an Amazon Enabled 4K TV and use it with a firecube to go with my Echo Studio Speaker but lack of space detirmines I can't. Have to stick with my HD TV for now and 5.1 Home Cinema System. Tell how do you think two Echo Studios and a sub would compare to a normal 5.1 Home Cinema System like mine and a full Dolby Atmos System?
it depends how good your home cinema is? 2 echo studios and and a sub do sound very good but its unlikely to sound as good as a top spec surround system.
Do you think this will work with the Echo’s newest gen devices? Was looking to get two echos to sync together and connect them to my firestick :)
Yes, you can connect 2 new gen echoes as long as they're in the same room/group
I connected echo studio through WIFI with the firetv 4K stick. it works okay initially, but Every time i turn off the tv and back on there is no sound playing at all from the fire TV, any show from firetv has not sound. I can ask alexa to play music, but just no sound from the tv show. I have to fumble around such as reprogram remote to make the TV sound come out. Am I doing something wrong or others have the same experience? THX
Figured out the issue myself. 1. Make sure u have the latest version of the software. 2. Make sure ur fire stick 4K is plugged in power outlet not USB port on the TV. I guess the USB port doesn’t have enough juice to support the echo studio.
Hi,new to your channel. Can you have stereo sound and home theatre setup on the devices at the same time?Many thanks
You can stereo pair them then use the stereo pair for the home theatre. Just be aware that the home theatre with Dolby Atmos only works with a fire cube or the newest fire stick.
Can you control the volume from the app if you have it connected via an optical cable?
Yes
Can I connect the Echo Studio to my tv without having a fire stick? If I am not wrong, it supports only an optical cable which would down convert the dolby atmos signal to dolby digital. Am I missing anything?
The only way I know to connect without fire TV is as you said, with a toslink to toslink mini cable which I believe is incapable of passing a Dolby Atmos signal.
@@UTILITARIANTVUK if I connect it through a fire stick 4k, would I get dolby atmos using the netflix app? Or just in the amazon video?
@@RNWLL as long as you connect through WiFi, Netflix will stream Dolby Atmos from fire TV.
@@UTILITARIANTVUK thanks a lot!!
Can you please send a link for the correct optical to 3.5mm cable please.
Of course www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07DTJ861V/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Can Echo Studio be connected directly to the tv or does it need Fire TV stick/cube?
You can connect 1 studio with an optical cable directly to the TV. If you want a stereo pair, you have to connect them wirelessly to a fire device.
So, just to be clear.... if I buy a Firestick and connect this Studio to it.... will it control all of the sound from my TV, or will it only work when I'm actively using my Firestick? For example, say I want to play my PS5.... the studio stops working as soon as I start playing my ps5? If so, this is a total waste of money imo.
If you connect it wirelessly, then yes. However, you can also connect it to your TV via toslink. .
Hi again,can you leave link for the optical cable ?cheers

ty funcionando perfeitamente... grato
Can the optical and WiFi connect at the same time, I.e. watch terrestrial tv, then switch to the tv input for Fire tv, will the sound be sent to the Echo Studio from the different inputs without having to disconnect the WiFi or optical cable?
Yes, you just need to change your TV sound out option off optical and back to TV speaker. It'll then switch itself to WiFi. Just be aware that there may be a few seconds delay at the start while it switches over WiFi.
Can you connect 2 studio to one tv to create a surround sound theater experience?
Yes, you can stereo pair them via WiFi connection to fire TV.
Hey, do you still get dolby atmos if you wire in? I have a fire tv baked into my toshiba but it doesn't support the wifi option
Dolby Atmos is only available through Wi-Fi sorry.
@@UTILITARIANTVUK okay thanks for getting back to me so quickly!
My Hisense h8g has alexa option. I connected TV to echo studio through Bluetooth and never been able to get TV sound through the studio , regular music works like my other echos. Everything shows connected, skill shows hisense TV etc.
The only ways to do it is either through a mini toslink connection or wirelessly through a fire stick or fire cube.
@@UTILITARIANTVUK thank you.
@@UTILITARIANTVUK Today I was messing around and was able to get my Hisense H8g 75, to work with the echo studio through Bluetooth only. I went to bed shortly after and will test later tonight, but sounded great. I tested a atmos test on TH-cam, but need to test more. I had to remove hisense account on alexa then reactivate it and worked. Will update.
Would these options also apply to the echo dot?
You can connect the dot wirelessly to a firestick.
If you use a cable to connect to the TV can you still add an echo sub or another studio to set up a home theater?
No. The sub connects via WiFi only.
@@UTILITARIANTVUK What about another studio?
@@Alex-yl8kf you can do it with a splitter. th-cam.com/video/eRmFYrutujU/w-d-xo.html

In your Video its looks like a big latency at the toslink-option....
And: Do you know, if its possible to add the Echo sub to the Studio, for using it with the PS4?
I've not connected with PS4 so not sure sorry. I'm getting another studio soon. I'll be doing a video on whether you can connect another speaker wirelessly while one is connected with a toslink cable.
@@UTILITARIANTVUK Ok, thx for your answer. And is the a audio latency, when you connect your TV via Toslink with the Studio?
@@LikeAChrist I had some latency on one TV but not another. So it may just be the TV I was using?

Can we pair 2 echo studio speakers with toslink in stereo configuration along with echo sub to a TV..Thankyou 😊
At present, only 2 speakers can be paired. However, you could set them up as multi room to use all three but you wouldn't get the stereo. I'm still not sure if you can pair speakers when connected via toslink? I'm getting another studio when they become available (around the end of December). I will be trying it then?
@@UTILITARIANTVUK Hey would love to see your setup with 2 echo studio via optical cable (maybe you'll need some kind of splitter).

Yes, there are options in the settings to change the name.
@@UTILITARIANTVUK good to know thank you.
Sorry but I'm confused. So do I still need a Fire Cube with my Echo Studio Speaker for it to be to use my commands?It seems using a Echo Studio Speaker by itself won't work with the commands by itself on a smart TV...Is that really the case?
You can only use the play, pause, search voice commands when viewing on a fire stick or cube. The speaker still works as a smart speaker like an echo dot when not connected to a TV.
Yes I know about the speaker working well by itself listening to my music collection but moreso through the Alexa App.
I have hard wired. Does it need to be pluged to my wifi to work and take it out of the hard wired?
It works wirelessly through WiFi.
Have you listened to Plex through the Studio, does Atmos come through or just stereo?
I've played through Plex and it sounds good. Unfortunately, there's no way of knowing whether Dolby Atmos is being transmitted?
@@UTILITARIANTVUK Optical doesn't allow Atmos but still sounds very good.
Where can I get the optical cable? Can you share me the link, please?

Hello, all right, I need help I saw the full video and I couldn't find the answer ... I have echo studio and I have 2 echo plus, I would like to know if it is possible to connect echo studio as main and 2 echo plus as speakers ... but all of this is connected to the optical cable TV ...
Today I can connect everything in groups (this is easy and simple) what I have achieved so far is ... creating a group with 2 echo plus, it works for music it has a speaker (right) and another (left) for music is perfect, but for tv the volume is very low ... even at maximum volume, the sound remains low via bluetooth ... you know what i can do?
I was also able to connect the echo studio directly to the TV with the optical cable, it was very good, but I really wanted to connect everything on the TV and be like a home theater is possible, there are several doubts there, sorry
The only way to pair 2 echo speakers to a TV is wirelessly via a 4k fire stick or fire cube. You cannot mix and match echo's when you stereo pair or set up a home theatre. I.e. You are not able to pair an echo 3rd gen with and echo studio or echo 4th gen. You would need the following to create a decent home theatre set up using echo speakers. A 4k fire stick, the two echo plus speakers you already have and an echo subwoofer. These would all connect wirelessly to the fire stick.
@@UTILITARIANTVUK Hey I have Echo Studio + Echo Sub + Firestick TV 4K (Fire TV cube isn't promoted here in India by Amazon, so it's not available here)...paired them as home theatre they are sounding amazing for music n movies.But still I'm not getting tht Dolby Atmos option.U demonstrated Jack Ryan.But you didn't navigate to options menu while playing that and didn't show whether Dolby Atmos audio option is there to select! Would you like to do that please ? If you show me that "Dolby Atmos" option it's confirmation that Fire cube TV supports Dolby Atmos but Firestick 4K doesn't! So I can buy that Fire Cube TV somehow! Thanks, it's after watching your demo I bought Echo Studio,so requesting you to end my 'Dolby atmos' hunt!
Hi, what do you think is better? Getting one amazon studio or a pair of amazon echo 3rd gen? also for my home theatre setup.
In an ideal world, two studios would be the best! 😄 Choosing between one studio or two stereo paired 3rd gens is a tough choice. I've never compared them so I'm not sure but if pushed I'd probably go for one echo studio.
PATCHWORK TV yeah, i just see some bad reviews on amazon about echo studio.
Eventually later, i also wanted to buy a second echo studio.
@@Ailiking I suppose it's people's personal preference. I have an echo plus which has the same audio quality as an echo 3rd gen and it sounds good. But for me, the studio has vastly superior sound.
@@UTILITARIANTVUK oh, great if you can compare them, then thats exactly what I need to know. I guess even two of amazon echoes will lack in bass... Im gonna buy the amazon Studio, thanks.
@@Ailiking I'll try and do a comparison video this week. The echo 3rd gens actually have a very decent bass, just not as good as the studio.
Can you connect 2 Echo Studios to a tv to use two of them at once?
Yes via stereo pairing.
Hello. Would this cable help me be able to use bluetooth headphones and listen to the studio at the same time? We are having a hard time trying to pair the headphones. When we get them working then the Studio sound dies. I need to listen to the studio at a normal level and my husband needs the headphones because he is practically deaf! We are using a 4K Firestick with our Studio. We have tried pairing the headphones with the tv, with the Firestick, wtih the app in a group with the studio. Just can't figture it out...maybe it's impossible. :(
You can only play through one source. I don't think it's possible to play the studio via the cable and headphones at the same time. As soon as you connect your fire stick to Bluetooth, the sound will only play through the headphones.
@@UTILITARIANTVUK thanks. That's a bummer. Wonder if Echo buds would help? He needs his own sound source or he will make it too loud for everyone else to enjoy.
@@deannewagner9825 I'm not sure if this would work but could be worth a try? You'd need a hdmi cable from the tv to the input of the unit, then a toslink to toslink mini cable output and connected to the speaker, with also the headphones connected to the unit. As I said though, I'm not sure if this would work as it may just play through one output? www.amazon.co.uk/Converter-Extractor-Optical-Toslink-Support/dp/B073TXX3KV/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Digital+Optical+Audio+Switch+3x1+Toslink+3+In+1+Out+with+Analog+RCA+and+3.5mm+Headphone+Outpu&qid=1604344529&sr=8-1
Can you still use Alexa normally even though this connected to the tv
Yes, it still works as a smart speaker when connected.
would the wifi thing work with a fire stick?
Yes with the latest versions.
via Toslink, the sound is out of sync
Mine was ok except for TH-cam.
I want to connect this speaker to my Nvidia Shield, is there other way except Bluetooth? and if not, can I have Dolby Atmos via Bluetooth?
Bluetooth would be the only option. I'm not sure on the Atmos sorry but I would think it unlikely?
You can do optical out if the Shield has that option or your TV has the option.
I have my tv connected via optical. Sometimes when an app is paused the sound will not resume when play is pressed. Is there a verbal command to reconnect to optical?
I had the same issue when connected via optical. The only way I found to get it back was to change the sound setting on the TV to internal speaker then back again to optical.
Surely this is fixed now? That's a put off done want to do that everything I pause
Where do you plug in the other piece into the Tv?
It's a toslink or optical connection if your TV has one?
are you getting pure atmos sound after connection with tv bluetooth
You only get Atmos when connected through WiFi to a fire stick or cube.
@@UTILITARIANTVUK hello. i have sony tv android, Atmos works for me?
and always on with tv automatic or i need manual turn on?
sry for my poor english (im from Brazil)
@@webfabio6259 no problem, you write English far far better than I could write Portuguese! The only way to get Atmos with the Echo Studio is through a fire stick.
@@UTILITARIANTVUK thx for response :)
Can I only play firestick things when I connect via firestick
You can still connect to it via Bluetooth if you wanted to play music from your phone for example. It'll also still work as a smart speaker.
@@UTILITARIANTVUK I mean can I still use it for like cable on my tv?
@@punjab1captain yes, as long as it's connected with an optical cable.
Can u do that with 2 of them
Yes but only with a fire stick or cube. th-cam.com/video/1jyScmbcb-I/w-d-xo.html
can this be done with 2 echo dots
You can use a stereo pair of 2 echo dots, 3rd gen when connected to fire TV.
Is there a way to stop it from loudly disconnecting when you turn off your TV? And when I turn the TV back on I have to go into sound and re-select it.. every... time. Very annoying. Is there a fix for this?
This is not an issue I have sorry? Am I correct in assuming that you have the speaker connected with the optical toslink lead?
PATCHWORK TV it’s connect via Bluetooth. When I turn the tv off the echo studio disconnects from the tv, so when I turn the tv on next I have to connect the device as a speaker again.
@@Corpseatthegates Ah OK, this does tend to be an issue when connecting devices via Bluetooth. Does your TV have an optical input?
I have an amazon smart tv but when I try to setup via wifi it states in is not compatible. Any suggestions?
Unfortunately, as far as I am aware, the only compatible devices are the newest version of the 4k fire stick and cube. The only option would be to buy a fire stick if you want to connect via WiFi.
I’m having the same issue if you use the optical cable would that only work for the apps like Netflix and prime or would it also work with cable tv?
@@adamd2179 if you use the cable, you should be able to hear all content, including cable, satellite and terrestrial TV.
@@UTILITARIANTVUK can you connect a fire stick 4K to a fire tv in order to get the wifi to work? or do I need to use the toslink?
@@adamd2179 if you use a fire stick, it can be linked through WiFi.
After I selected “Set up audio systems” there no “Home Cinemas” option for me. There was a “Home Theater” option instead...and it didn’t work out.
Are you setting up from the newest fire stick or fire cube?
UTILITARIAN TV
I don’t even know what those are. I only have my Echo Studio and a Visio smart TV. Can you please tell me what else I need then, in order to get to that Home Cinema option in Wi-if?
@@skoatgoat8669 you can only connect with WiFi through an Amazon fire stick. So you'd need to buy one of them.
UTILITARIAN TV ok thank you so much. Gonna buy one tomorrow. I didn’t know what I was missing before. Was losing my mind yesterday trying to figure this all out.
Ok I just bought the Firestick and registered it. It says it’s not compatible. Please help
I couldn’t watch this because my wake word is “wake word”.
we watch with headphones ...alexa cant hear .
🤣👍
you forget to show 3,5 mm headphone jack
I have LG TVs, no headphone sockets.
watch with headphones ..alexa wont hear
like the features, setup was difficult for some of my devices (August Door lock, th-cam.com/users/postUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-dKeb4aB Bose speaker)... but all switches and outlets (5), thermostat, tankless water heater. Unfortunately all I can do is turn on/off Bose. It doesn't support volume or changing channels, but I believe that is due to the particular speaker I have.... Worth getting if you already have other devices to use it with... I don't sit around and ask Alexa questions much so that doesn't really matter to me....
