How to connect a soundbar to your TV
The easiest way is to plug your soundbar into your TV with an HDMI cable. If your TV only has one HDMI input, use an optical cable instead. Both take less than a minute to set up.
A soundbar gives you much better sound than your TV's built-in speakers. You connect it with either an HDMI cable or an optical cable, and then tell your TV to send audio to the soundbar instead of the speakers. Both methods work equally well — HDMI is slightly easier to set up.
