Annnnnnd I’m less than 4 minutes this man just explained everything I have been doubting. Sweet baby Jesus bro….TY!!

Brother you saved me from taking a hammer to my TV, cable box and sound bar lol. Keep doing noble work!

This was so clearly explained that it's hard to imagine someone getting it wrong after watching your video. Thank you very much for your time and beautifully made video!

I went through about 17 videos and yours made complete sense. After 2 hours with needed brakes I finally got it. Thanks

This was one of the best videos for giving me ideas and instructions. My Sound system now sounds incredible.

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.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍.

Thank you so much! I couldn’t get it to work for the life of me but have done now after watching your clip - thank you!!!

Just after 35 seconds you saved our night 🙏

Your presentation and explanation was clean and simple! You my man, just earned yourself a sub 👍🏼

Your video resolved our loss of audio between the sound bar and tv. Thank you!

Thankyou, I've recent came across your channel and I've been binge watching your videos like crazy, you are awesome. Subscribed.

I love your channel so much Chris! You helped me pick a projector and now you're making this super easy. Thanks!

Awesome, perfect explanation. Simple and fast, to the point. Thanks 👍

Thank god. Now my soundbar working perfectly with a super detail sound experience. Very informative and helpful video. Thank you again.

Just what I needed to know... and more. I wish more but not all youtube videos were this simple and to the point and informative. Thank you.

Love your video! I'm a tech spaz & you kept it short, sweet & concise. Plus you weren't annoying!😎

Great video. Simple, informative and straight to the point. The visuals are also very helpful. Thank you for putting this together.

I don't think I have ever learnt so much about one topic in three minutes before! Thanks, really well done! :-)

Thank you for giving us different options how to connect the soundbar. My soundbar has usb port and optical port. I only have hdmi cable and bluetooth receiver and didnt work. But after I found your tutorial, I was searching for my optical cable inside my house. Glad I found one and tried connecting the optic cable. Within few seconds, I have a great sound coming from my soundbar and save few bucks. Thank you so much!!!

Easy, quick and informative. Thank you man!

Love your channel. Very informative. That home theater setup from a previous video was the subject of envy.

Thank you so much! I've been trying to connect it for the longest time... had no luck with other KZfaq videos.

Setting this up was pissing me clean tf off. This got me right together. Thanks man🙏🏽 KZfaq is God’s gift.

This the best informative video ive found on youtube about hdmi arc vs optical 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Thank you for uploading this chief

THANK YOU!!! never thought it would be so difficult to find a video that just simply and plainly explains what you just did, my hats off to you sir.

Just upgraded to the Sony 9000F soundbar, and I went looking for tutorials. So far, the Sony has really done great. 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. Anyway, awesome video and info. Subscribed!

Thank you! Awesome tutorial, straight to the point no fluff.

So simple of an explanation! Best one I've seen so far for updated tvs!

As many have already said - THANK YOU. My god this was driving me mad, your video relieved me of this absolute headache.

You just helped save my wife from a breakdown 😂 she was on the verge until I searched in KZfaq how to install surround sound and you popped up. You saved the night! Breakdown averted 😅 we went with the optical cord and it worked after a half hour of not being able to get sound to come through the sound bar. Thank you!!!

Brilliant, very helpful Chris, Many Thanks. Happy New Year To You and your Family. 🇬🇧

Was looking for a good explanation that included sound quality, glad I came across this. Great work! Cheers

Simple, clear and to the point. Thank you!

Nice job! Great information. Thank you.

Brilliant explanation, concise and straight to the point 👏👏👏

Best video on this subject. Straight to the point but gives all info in a easy to understand way. Thank you so much for not wasting my time talking about your cat or something. Hate it when people do that.

Great video, man! Very easy to follow and thanks for throwing that xbox example there, that was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

Just perfect, ! Clear and fast ! Thanks for sharing

Goated for this. Thank you dude!

I had issues with audio video sync but after connecting everything to the sound bar through HDMI it's all fixed thanks to you. THANK YOU SO MUCH I APPRECIATE IT!

Thank u so much man this helped me so much because I was so lost in what to do,keep doing what u do I appreciate u and everything u do ❤️

This is the best video Ive seen on this! Thanks for explaining things!

Thanks Man, You said all I needed to know in a very nice and precise way to understand. Made it easy for me.

Thank you so much for your videos, so dynamic, understandable, helpful.

I really like your videos! Very informative and you truly seem to want to help people by sharing your knowledge instead of trying to just get KZfaq famous like most people.

Good stuff, thanks for explaining! You made it easy to connect.

Just got a Soundbar for Xmas now and wasn't sure what was wrong, assumed the HDMI cable wasn't 1.4 but it turns out the CEC setting needed to be enabled. Thanks a lot, liked and subbed.

Wicked vid, bro. Thanks heaps!

This is the best tutorial I've found. Cheers

Finally someone who says something about CEC had to link the vizio sound bar to the tv now everything is perfect thanks bro 💯💪🏼👊🏼🤨

Thank you Man . Your video really helped a lot my expectations

Thank you for this simple video that says a lot!!!

Great explanatory video. Many thanks!

Thanks for the info 👍 great job.

Awesome explanation. Thanks! 🙌

Another cracking video. Thanks for these, really useful for lots of people. Personally I didn’t know about the restrictions using optical, so I’m switching over to hdmi ARC tonight when I get home.

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!!!!

Thank you so much for your video that helped us a lot in connecting our soundbar to the tv.

Great video when using optical Is there a way I can hear the sound from the smart TV apps. When trying to watch netflix with soundbar I get no sound

Ty brother man, this was so simplified, it helped alot

Really helpful I like this guy ⭐️

great video dude

This !!!!!! Was Awesome my man - simply Awesome!!!

Hi Maj, I have a Sony XG950 TV and a samsung R650 sound bar connected. When I first hooked this up the sound would go up and down on the bar without bringing up the picture display of the speaker volume on the TV. The other day all of a sudden that volume bar started showing up on the screen every time I use the TV remote to change the volume ( it didn't before). Any idea how to squash that?

great channel man. nice job

Good video. Thanks for the good tips.

Very good video man

You save my life! Thanks for give us a lot of options ! God bless you

Short but still informative. Great video!
