Clear explanations, good stuff thanks. Like your soundbar with video feedback of settings, Cool.

Great video Chard, I just bought a 75" QLED Samsung with the matching soundbar. I am having lip syncing issues. I will try the updates and I need to see exactly how to "adjust" the syncing. Thankfully you gave me a lot of useful information.

Absolutely fantastic video excellent job!

Great video. I purchased an open box samsung q850a. It is synced to my Samsung 8000 uhd. I opted to use my firestick opposed to using built-in apps. The FS is connected to hdmi 3 on the television. I get sound and surround. Here is where it gets weird. I tried to play the Transformers 1 movie 5.1. The sound is good for a while, then cuts out and the sound bar shuts down. Other movie series with 5.1 are fine. Just seems when there are more packets of sound (action scenes) that it cuts out. Should I connect the FS to the soundbar instead? TIA.

To optimize viewing and listening experience, what is the ideal connection setup for a Firetv Cube (no eARC) as source for video/audio and a Formovie Projector (with eARC) as monitor and a Samsung Q990B sound bar (with eARC) for sounds?

Thanks for the video. When I plug my soundbar in with hdmi arc I can't use the TV's sound settings like surround dalby Atmos, smart etc, any help would be much appreciated.

I have a Samsung TV and a Samsung soundbar I have the q67 CT surround system I was wondering how do I add the extra two speakers on the TV I think they call it q symphony, without it it's just a 5.1 system as far as I see

really well explained, thank you

If i connect the soundbar to Arc hdmi, will the surround always come on? I want to have tv speakers then if want sound bar to turn it on, as I have a roommate and the Els are next to each other. So I play when roommate bit home. Any suggestions. I have a 4k 5 input one out switcher. I am just trying to get surround bar sound to all my devices but able to have tv speakers first then option for surround bar, if possible. Currently I have the 2.1 sound bar connected tthrough optical on the TV. I have 3 hdmi inputs including ARC ON TV. I have dish hopoer connected to the ARC hdmi (not sure why) nvidia shield on another and the Switcher on other. The Nvidia Shield is my 1st choice for streaming but not always. On the 5 input switcher, I have tivo, I use often. Fire TV box use sometimes, Chromecast and a roku. I do not necessarily need the roku or Chromcast so those ports could open up. On the surround bar, I have an HDMI tv ARC out, a regular HDMI, optical input, USB, aux in, digital audio in (Optical) which I am using now. How best to connect to have all devices so they all "including tv" can use the 2.1 surround bar-Sub and separately use TV speakers easily if trying to stay quite fir roommate. All suggestions for different setups and outcomes are appreciated and welcome. I definitely need help. Also, a good suggestion - Link for a good HDMI cable 6' or best 8 or 10'. Maybe can use 6'.

hello, great video! i have an LG 65UJ6300 tv, a Denon AVR-S510BT receiver and surround speakers i have the ARC & optical cable connected to the tv also, my roku, dvd player and speakers are connected to the receiver the tv speaker settings are set to internal+ARC, but no sound comes out of the surround speakers when i watch any apps on the smart tv (amazon, netflix, etc) however, i don't have this issue with the roku or dvd player plus LG support said the receiver may not compatible with the tv i tried using a newer HDMI cable, but it didn't help can you help?

Hey! Please help. I have an LG OLED CX and a Samsung HW-Q80R soundbar. First I connected arc between tv and soundbar and PS4 to tv and now PS4 to soundbar. The same issue occurs - the sound from tv doesn’t work! I have to remove the arc from the tv and plug it in again for the soundbar to find it. Any ideas??

Great videos. Just want to clarify how the HDMI ARC ports work with a set top cable box. I have a Vizo sound bar with only one HDMI port which is an ARC port. I plan on connecting that to my Vizio TV HDMI-1 port which is the ARC/CEC port. Currently I have my AT&T set top box connected to this port. If I move this HDMI cable from my AT&T set top box to, for example HDMI-3 on my TV, then when I watch TV via HDMI-3 the sound will come thru my sound bar on HDMI-1 ARC/CEC? Correct? If not, I will have to use the Digital Audio Optical cable.

Amazing sir. Ty !

Don’t understand why my dialogue on the tv doesn’t match the receiver audio it seems delayed. Don’t know if I hooked it up wrong I have my Lg tv connected to the ARC AND THE RECEIVER ONKYO CONNECTED TO THE ARC. Not sure if my settingsate correct or what’s going on. So basically what I’m trying to say is the sound coming out does not match seems either delayed or ahead. Do I need to connect an optical cable.? Or just and hdmi cable will do it all it says hdmi hi plus Ethernet

Thank you for your help

My TV is a Samsung MU7000 and the soundbar is the Samsung HW-E450. There are only 3 sound setting options on my TV - Sound Output: TV Speaker, Audio Out/Optical and Bluetooth Speaker List. I can only get sound if I choose to use TV Speaker, even though I 'm pretty sure I have the HDMI ARC cable plugged in correctly (in at the TV, out at the soundbar), Anynet+ is enabled, and the ARC port source is chosen (in at the TV), since I'm using the HDMI cable for the TV and soundbar. I currently have the soundbar setting set as HDMI, even though one website said to set it at D. in. Neither setting has resulted in sound. I've tried both. By the way, I was getting sound with the optical cable (although the wireless subwoofer wasn't functioning). I have verified that both the TV and the soundbar have ARC ports, and that the HDMI cable is ARC capable. I would rather get the HDMI settings to work for audio, just because everyone says it provides the best sound. I don't know what else to do - if you have any suggestions, I'd appreciate it!

So my question is that my LG tv has Dolby Atmos, but my sound bar is Dolby digital. By doing the above, could I get the best of both, meaning the TV will still work along side the sound bar? So I’d basically have sound from both TV and sound bar?

I love your channel, and how i see, you have the same saoundbar I have. But I got some issue with my q60. I got no hdmi arc in my 10 years old tv. And i must use optical cable. And that maybe is a reason of quiet dialogs, and no option (like in your case) to volume this up (center speaker volume control - i don't see this setting). Can you tell me, Yoy dont't have this option by optical cablre to? And what is most important for me, is this help with dialogs volume in watching a movies? Sorry for my english ;-)

Hi sir for this great video. I just bought a new soundbar LGSY5 with optical and hdmı. I tryed with optical cable but dissapointed voice and then l put my hdmı cable sound ia much better but theres no hdmı arc on my tv. I just put it hdmı 2 so my tv doesnr have hdmı arc or hdmı 2 is the same ?

Thanks 😊 worked good 👍

Hi I have a question. I have LG SN9YG sound bar (2 HDMI ports, 1 of them is EARC but not sure about the other). I have a Playstation 4, an android box as well as an Apple TV. Since my LG CX55 has 4 HDMI 2.1 ports (used one for E-ARC from soundbar to E-ARC of CX55), I will left with remaining ports of, 1 spare from soundbar SN9YG and 3 spare ports from LG CX55. So I have 3 device to connect. Do I connect all to remaining TV 3 HDMI ports? Or can I spilt it to 2 for TV and make use of 1 for soundbar (which let me have 1 left for CX55 tv HDMI port). Does connecting to the soundbar spare port makes any different to the TV spare ports? Thanks in advance!

I have the same or similar Samsung tv and a job soundbar. I can’t get the soundbar to show up in the speaker list on tv. It worked the first time I tried it. I am ARc to ARC

hi i have a question, If your TV is ARC and soundbar is eARC can you still get Dolby True HD or atmos? While I do still get atmos through Dolby Digital but wanted to know if there's still a way to get full atmos, considering TV is not eARC. Been checking on some ways to somehow convert ARC port of TV to eARC but no luck yet. Thank you

Great explanation. Thank you! But I have question. I have only 2 HDMI port, how do I connect my TV to soundbar and Cable box? Is there a possible way to connect those 3 using 2 cable but freeing 1 port from thr TV? Thanks

Hello, just bought a Samsung HW-Q70R soundbar and I have a few issues I can't figure out. First, when I try to use BT to listen to my phone's music it works for about 2 -3 min and then it automatically switches back to HDMI and cuts the BT off. Second, I keep adjusting the Sound Contol settings to where I'd like them to be but it keeps resetting all to 0 and I have to keep adjusting them. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank You!!

Help me Sir ! My sound bar is stuck on D IN . How can I get my soundbar back to TV Arc ?

Spent nearly a day trying to connect my soundbar via the ARC connection...it just wouldn't link. I could use my soundbar with devices plugged directly into it.

It is better to put your hdmi cable for your cable box and game console to your soundbar instead of your tv for better sound ?

I have a samsung tv and a vizio 5.1 soundbar. My tv remote now controls my soundbar. I don't like it. What can I do ?

I have a Samsung soundbar and a brand new Sony tv, my issue is when I turn the tv on using tv remote the soundbar does not turn on. I have it connected via earc and everything looks connected in the Sony settings menu but the soundbar won’t turn on when I turn on the tv. Any ideas ?

I don't know if you have a solution for that, but I have some problems controlling the sound bar using my TV remote (both are samsung products and anynet+ is turned on) I can control the volume and turn off the sound bar with the TV remote, but the soundbar doesn't turn on automatically so I need a second remote just for that... Do you know how to fix this?

In my experience LG UHD TV randomly reverts to built-in speakers. And you need to select audio to output to HDMI-ARC whenever you notice the sound is coming from built-in speakers again.

Quick question say I have the sound bar connected on to the tv acr and am using a Xbox or ps5 on hdmi 2 as long as I have the tv settings on the speaker (hdmi acr / soundbar ) it'll automatically send the sound from hdmi 2 to the sound bar ?

What the name over your sound bar

My HDMI arc connects a few seconds after turning on the tv. The only problem is, even if I turn my volume to 0 while turning off, it starts with a very high volume. Can someone please suggest a solution.

If all cable pinouts are the same. I'd bet you will never be able to see any difference between a cheap HDMI cable and a more expensive one, unless the cable length is extremely long.

Cable does not need to be high quality you just need a high speed HDMI Cable
