Thanks for the video. We couldn’t get it connected correctly and it turned out I needed that weird cord (after I did go out on Dec 26 to buy an HDMNI cord). Appreciate it!
Are these steps the same with the model ATS-1090? I’m trying to connect it to my tv with the optical digital audio cable since on the back of my tv does not say ARC, so if my tv does not have those words on the back I’m sure it’s not ARC compatible,? Right? So then I have to use the Optical Digital Audio Cable, so do I still need an HDMI cable with the Optical Cable in order to work?
Just bought it yesterday for an early Black Friday price of $95.00 bought a really good HDMI cable supports UHD, 4K ,8K supporting the ARC feature and hooked it up to my Samsung Smart TV HDMI ARC on my Samsung itself this Yamaha ATS 1080 by itself sounds Awesome. Connect it the right way. Get a nice 4k UHD HDMI Cable. $15-$25
I just bought a refurbed, Yamie ATS-1080 soundbar. 99 bucks, looks brand new. I just used the included optical cable with my older, 40" Sony Bravia. Works ok. Pretty good little soundbar. I had to use 2 books to raise TV too. I have a new LG, 55" Smart TV coming Monday. I may try HDMI cable on that tv. But optical cable connection works fine right now. I prolly need those 2 books for the LG too. I may wall mount the soundbar above new TV. LG TV will stay on tv stand....wife said, lol. No holes in her newly painted walls.
Your vid was a big help for me! But try to check the *Settings then go to *Sounds then choose *”Internal TV speaker + Audio Out (Optical). If you have that option you don’t need the HDMI, Optical Digital Audio Cable is all you need... Warning! Don’t bend the ODAC(Optical Digital Audio Cable) ‘coz it won’t work anymore... Thanks! 🙏🏻
You know what? I had my sound bar for years and just thought it was rubbish. I was curious if there was a better way and watched your video. Not that you have it overly complex either, but I had just the one cable plugged in. Connected the HDMI as well and bang.....great sound. good video. Cheers.
Glad it helped someone. This was my first ever RUclips video, and it was unnecessarily long. I set it up as I did due to available connections and cords I had on hand. It still works well for me, and I can control it with my TV remote.📺🔊
Thanks for the video, Sir. Has anyone out in your audience come up with a bracket solution that will allow installation directly to the TV or Existing TV wall mount?? Hopefully something that would include noise vibration isolation?
The Yamaha sound bar is wall mountable. It comes with a paper template. It has two "Keyholes" 18 inches apart on the back/bottom of the soundbar. If you mount the 2 screws to studs (usually 18" apart) you can mount the keyholes to the screws. It also comes with two rubber spacers that stick onto the back to prevent it vibrating against the wall. You will need two screws dimensions as follows: Head 1/4 - 3/8 inch Un-threaded shank 1/2 - 5/8 inch threaded shank 3/4 inch or longer. You will find a PDF Manual and specific wall mounting instructions at the following link: usa.yamaha.com/files/download/other_assets/9/1202749/web_AV17-0072_ATS-1080_om_G_8multi_A0.pdf#marker__ID0EHGFM
Yes i set my tv audio settings to Doldy Digital+ which only supports HDMI ARC. My tv remote now controls the Sound Bar audio. When you get a subwoofer set it up to the max you want it so when you adjust the subs audio on the remote everything is in sync. Thinking the Polk AUDIO PSW108. Anyone else use this sub with a sound bar ?
It would probably help if you spent a few minutes going over the install so that when people watched your fumbling around, they wouldn't wonder what the heck you were trying to accomplish? Did you expect anyone to follow your ramblings?
If you use the optical cable, you do not need a HDMI as well. Only optical and power is needed. I’m giving you a break since you said this is your first video, but next time streamline a little better. No dusting! More time just devoted to the sound, which we never got to lol. Good luck and thanks for trying. How does it sound by the way? And have you had other sound bars to base it off of as reference? I’m looking at getting this one, among others. The Polk Signa S2
Hi, thanks for posting this. Looks like I have the same TV as you, but I'm finding every time I adjust the volume using the Yamaha remote, it turns the TV off momentarily. Did you encounter this problem?
I've an Older 65" LG (not ultra 4k). I'm planning a review of the device. I like the Yamaha soundbar so far but I've noticed a few quirks. I set the soundbar up through my TV LG settings pretty easily and control the soundbar with my LG TV remote. I can't seem to control the subwoofer settings through my LG TV remote. So, unless I find a solution to the subwoofer control through the TV remote, I'll have to keep the Yamaha remote handy. One quirk is the Yamaha remote control seems to have some lag between pressing a button and execution of the command. Another quirk is the Yamaha remote does not cause a visible volume level bar/indicator on my TV screen. The LG remote causes a visible volume level on the screen.
I used just opt cable to my TV. You just have to use the small remote soundbar comes with. I think using HDMI you can use TV remote for sound. I just use 2 remotes, no biggie.
@@ernieD correct, the HDMI allows you to use your TV remote instead of the separate Yamaha remote. I have a 2 year old on the loose and remotes tend to disappear
The optical cord receptacle are sometimes plugged to prevent dust. They almost always have a dust cover and the plug will only go in one way. Hope that helps.
I can't say for certain but I feel confident that where the analog you can not likely use your TV remote to control the sound on the sound bar. With digital I can operate it with the remote that came with the sound bar or I can operate it with my TV remote without having to reprogram the TV remote
I had to watch this video at 2 times the speed. Just too slow and rambling. Helpful, but you could have cut the video down to 2 minutes if you didn't ramble so much. I'm trying to be helpful. Good luck.
you've inspired me to produce some youtube videos. Obviously it was your first one. You did not really answer my questions but kudos for trying.
I'm glad I could at least be an Inspiration! 🙂
Thank you for such a detailed explanation.

what device are you referring to? the tv or speaker? (just opened the box)
Tv settings. Sorry for the late reply...
Which cable? Try to check the grove before you push it…
The only reason it won’t go through is that maybe you forgot to remove the plastic end cap of the ODAC… Refer to video at 3:20.

Do you need both the hdmi and the optical audio cable or can you do just hdmi

Does the remote have a battery already in it ? & what type of batteries does it use ? Thanks!
Can I just connected it with the TV Bluetooth?
Quick question, should i be concern about those white lights indicators? Shutting off while the speaker is working completely fine?
So is the ats 1080 the ats 108 and Yas 108 all the same? Word on the internet is conflicting.
Mine was easily set up but how do you rename it on your blue tooth. I have two of these sound bars but can’t tell them apart with choosing Bluetooth
Thanks
There's this rando ats-1080 sussy speaker that I've been trying to pair to on Bluetooth and the sussy bakas have to keep rejecting it hehehehehehe
I have mine HDMI wired to the TV. However, without any effort my Bluetooth connects to the TV
@@jarethill5240 Whats teh process?? :3 Would you have to manually reject it using teh remote or what
Hi, you can see some surround effect with netflix? Thanks
Yes i set my tv audio settings to Doldy Digital+ which only supports HDMI ARC. My tv remote now controls the Sound Bar audio. When you get a subwoofer set it up to the max you want it so when you adjust the subs audio on the remote everything is in sync. Thinking the Polk AUDIO PSW108.

Im in between 1070 or 1080 is there a difference?? Thank you
I did not need the HDMI only OD!

All that and I didnt answer your question. No it doesnt cause my TV to turn off momentarily.
I have the same issue, did you find a solution?
HDMI is a better choice.
Hang on, so can't use optical on its own to the tv?
I used just opt cable to my TV. You just have to use the small remote soundbar comes with.
I think using HDMI you can use TV remote for sound. I just use 2 remotes, no biggie.
@@ernieD Hey there, so I ended buying one, optical only and I prefer to use the speakers remote.
Cheers s bro
@@ernieD correct, the HDMI allows you to use your TV remote instead of the separate Yamaha remote. I have a 2 year old on the loose and remotes tend to disappear
HDMI has better sound than optical and more channels.
The optical cord provided fits nowhere on the speaker. Yes I took the caps off.
The optical cord receptacle are sometimes plugged to prevent dust. They almost always have a dust cover and the plug will only go in one way. Hope that helps.
@@jarethill5240 as I said I took the caps off.
0:07 Love that word on ya!
i have two of these using analog what is difference between using the digital with arc is it a quality thing or is it just options
I can't say for certain but I feel confident that where the analog you can not likely use your TV remote to control the sound on the sound bar. With digital I can operate it with the remote that came with the sound bar or I can operate it with my TV remote without having to reprogram the TV remote
thank you so much i ended up going the hdmi route

Yeah I agree, it's my first RUclips video. I considered reshooting it
