  • You can order 1 dollar HDMI cables on Amazon here: amzn.to/2LLMsIk
    And here is a link to buy a soundbar: amzn.to/2K6rFdv
    In this video we walk through the steps of setting up you soundbar using an HDMI cable using your TV's ARC connection (audio return channel). With this method, your TV's remote will control the volume of the soundbar, saving the hassle of using 2 remotes!

    I worked for 2 days trying to get the hdmi port on my dad's soundbar working while it was mounted on the top of the tv. I didn't realize it had 2 hdmi ports because my vantage point I couldn't see the 2nd port, the ARC port, Thank you for showing this to me. Extremely helpful. Once I have an issue with something my brain won't shut off until it's fixed. Shop once again thank you for letting my brain be able to shut off lol.

    Do you have to plug your TV source to the IN HDMI on the sound bar? I didn't see you do that. You just connected the OUT ARC to TV from the sound bar to the TV. Are you connecting your TV source to the IN on your TV?

    But your video makes it more easy to understand thank you very much

    When using hdmi arc you hear sound only from the sound bar. If using optical cable you can use both sound bar & tv speakers at same time.

    My Samsung 4K tv and my Yamaha sound bar both have hdmi arc. But when I plug in the hdmi cable and select it on the tv menu it syncs up. But then I get no sound. The sound bar is in hdmi mode. So I’m confused. The tv remote works and volumes it up and down but no sound. I first had it hooked up with the included optical cable and it worked fine. Could it be a hdmi port on the sound bar?? It was a “renewed” Yamaha Sound bar.

    I have samsung frame edge 55
    And q700a samsung sound bar
    The first problem is it was dropping sound for what i am playing every single min for seconds
    I thought the problem is the distance for subwoofer
    But it wasnit
    I searched from google
    I found that i must disable anynet hdmi from tv setting
    But the sane problem still exists
    I searched for. Hdmi in sound bar yesterday and i found 2
    One is normal
    And other labeled ( to tv and arc or sth like that ) i plugged hdmi not the one comes with sound bar i dont know where is it . I used the cable comes with samsung frame edge but tv cant get the source of hdmi although i choosed it from sound bar
    I connect sound bar to wifi by smart things app and i think the problem of dropping has disappeared But until now i dont know how to connect both divices with HDMI

      Yes, of course... but if your TV is old you may have to connect it with an AUX cable or optical Toslink; I have video on how to do that here: ruclips.net/video/AMl4l1XM9Ag/видео.html ruclips.net/video/xeAZmH0tCkE/видео.html

    Why you don't connect your blu ray player to your soundbar?

    • @shoaibchaudhry964
      @shoaibchaudhry964 4 года назад

      Because with HDMI Arc, all sources will get sound from soundbar. If you connect to DVD, only DVD will get the soundbar sound, and not any other sources.

    • @futureman11335637
      @futureman11335637  5 лет назад +1

      I should have talked about that in the video! Lol. The HDMI input is a pass through port, so you can plug an extra device in, like a game console, and the signal will be passed to your TV through the sounbars connection.

      @@futureman11335637 I read more about it. If your TV doesn't have an HDMI ARC, you can plug your main HDMI cable into the Soundbar's HDMI in. Then plug an HDMI cable from the Soundbar's HDMI ARC out to your TV's HDMI in. The sound bar will play the sound signal and pass through the video signal to the TV

      If your TV is more than 4-5 years old and does not have ARC, you would have to hook up the soundbar with a 3.5mm connector or optical audio Toslink.

      So if I connect the soundbar and TV via hdmi arc, all sound comming into the TV, for example via other hdmi connections, will at the same time also be connected to the soundbar via the hdmi arc connection that already exists (via hdmi arc) between the soundbar and TV, correct?
