Outstandingly straightforward with clear and concise explanations. My Sonos system has never worked properly and now I think I can get it functional. Thank you so much.
I was about to give up on my Roku stick because nothing was helping until I came across this video! Thank you so so much for posting this. Definitely helped with troubleshooting
Ever so awesome. My new tv is vastly different from my last tv(w.r.t. back panel input and output. My last tv is 10 years old and looms like a stereo reciever). The acronyms are not even logical - I'm glad I watched this. I seen the menu items but wasn't connecting the dots....lol Thanks for the great video
I spend years trying to get my sounds bar to work via HMDI just for sound while another HDMI to my sky box. This helped me get it working as I didn;t have the CEC/Arc turned on in my TV
Thank you sooooo much for going through the tv settings as well. I had it connected once before but for whatever reason couldn’t connect it again. So somehow my tv settings had changed and stopped me from connecting the two together. Thank you for your video. It really helped.
@@Allabouthomeelectronics I replaced a ROKU hotrod stick+ with the Streambar in bedroom and I love it, the processor is every bit as snappy... the stick powered on and off from the TVs USB port, but the streambar has a regular plug-in, and when I power down the TV the streambar stays on (the light on front only goes from blue to amber if I unplug/replug in the device. Will a USB cable from the TV to the streambar power it down when the TV is of, or potentially damage it??? Thanx
Thanks a lot! Very helpful video! with the digital audio output setting as Dolby output, the soundbar didn't work but was making noises. After I changed the type of digital audio output (under the sound setting on my TV ) from Dolby to PCM, the soundbar works with the HDMI cable connection.
Excellent video I was pulling my hair out all the videos I watched and nothing was working .... I don’t even have a Sonos sound bar but I got done cheers mate
Wow , I've been messing about with settings for days , and trying different leads and stuff . Watched your video, all done and up and running like a dream in seconds. THANKS VERY MUCH mate ❤️ Really appreciate it 😊
So, my post below was not accurate. DirecTV was wrong. After watching this video, I found an adjustment on my TV settings and now all of my DirectTV channels have sound, Great video!
I have same set up beam thru arc on TV sounds great my question is if I buy a Sonos sub and add it will I still be able to hear it thru the beam arc or will it only work only thru the Sonos app I like that I can use my TV remote for valume using thru arc just curious if I connect a sub oviously connect ing thru app will it all work togather with arc set up thru tv
Exactly what we need. We are connecting a SoundTouch 300 sound bar to a Samsung 65 inch class CU7000 UHD. Something that we've never done before, so we hope that this will be the exact information we need. 😅
Thanks for making this video. I am installing a Vizio 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar to a Vizio 4k TV. The only component I have that uses Atmos is a Xbox one X. I have a question that im trying to find and that is when using HDMI (arc) input 1 on the TV, will input 2 and 3 still send audio out of input 1 to my soundbar? The Xbox one X must go through the soundbar using it as a patch to the TV if I understand correctly. I'm just worried about sound when input 2 (playstation) and input 3 (cable TV) are in use. Thanks for your time!
Thanks man good video just subbed to the channel ; ) , 2 quick questions : I just bought a LG OLED BX (have not received it yet) and I am trying to see if my older Toshiba Sound Bar would work for this set up. I have a SBX4250kn from Toshiba (@t ), its a simple sound bar that does the trick for the living room we like the sound of it and I don't have other purpose in the house for. it.. but I know 4K was not around then, 2013 timeframe. It has ARC and CEC on the remote of the sound bar. Always wandered what these do has our current TV is a cheap ass 55 in 1080p RCA tv from 2014... So now that we have upgraded the TV I am lacking Tech TV knowledge .... Lets say I use the LG OLED has AV system to do audio pass thru to the sound bar. I will set up ARC on the LG TV and put ARC ON on the soundbar along with CEC.. Also I want to mention that I just purchased an Xbox series X to go along with the Cable TV box. these are the only 2 HDMI ports being used and would like the best quality on the xbox. Question 1. I have seen in the difference from CX to BX that it only has 2x 2.1 HDMI port on the BX model vice 4x on the CX, i didnt think much of it and wanted to save a few 100$ on the tv ; because I only use that TV in the living room. The best set up would be to use the last HDMI 2.1 spot for the Xbox Series X. (because the other HDMI 2.1 is being used for ARC with sound bar..) would it mater if the Cable TV box be in a none HDMI 2.1 port. Would the audio passthru to the sound still work ? Question 2. Knowing that my soundbar dosent have ATOMOS , eARC all theses premium add on, is it worth the extra money to upgrade the sound bar ? Hope i dont sound too lost and confuse here lol. Thanks, Marc,
I did my SAMSUNG 6500 into 8000 TV and it does not need to be the TV-ARC slot. Any of them do work with the TV remote. What ARC is needed is OUT of the Soundbar. A Optical Cablecis also needed for mine as it always switches ON to the D.IN but now it all w orks with both used. I had got it working with the TV-ARC firstly but it works using the one that isn't also. I will try next time to use Add Speaker for ARC if it does not need the Optical also but i had tried allsorts prior the combined method.
GREAT VIDEO, IT HELP ME A LOT. ANY MORE HELP IF I FOLLOWED UR DIRECTION IT WORKED TURN OFF THE SYSTEM CAME BACK A FEW HOURS IT LOST ITS CONNECTION AND WHEN I REPEAT THE PROCESS IT DOESE NOT DISCOVER THE DEVICE ANY MORE. ANY HELP?
Hi all about home, wandering if you can upload a vid of how to set up a sound bar w/ subwoofer ,the unit is an LG SL9YG w/ meridian, don't know what that is, you think you can help, before il take it back to the store, thanks.
You need ARC if using a DVD/BLUERAY Player to go thru the TV to Soundbar due to perhaps Optical Cable does not allow this??? I'd like to know thanks... I see you mention it allows SURROUND Thu-put but it allows Stereo from other devices to pass thru?
So what's the HDMI Out option which some soundbars have? Am hoping it's to connect a Roku Ultra or 4K Fire Stick, as my TV has only two HDMI inputs & one is for ARC. It would be great if that output works with ARC to return to the TV, if not, don't know what it's for. Unless possibly stereo receiver, however many would want better sound than what many of the bars offers. Especially those under the $200 range.
I was reading that ARC does not support the new version of Dolby Atmos or DTS-X. I believe this requires HDCP 2.2 HDMI input on TV and output on soundbar or receiver.
I’ve got Samsung TV and has hdmi 2 for arc and I presume you just run a hdmi lead from the soundbar to that port and then a PS4 that is in hdmi 1 or say firestick in hdmi 3 will run the picture on those ports and use hdmi 2 for audio? Sorry usually I use digital co axial of optical and this is new to me.
What about if you have other accessories? For example as in my case: TV, Receiver, Soundbar, Playstation Console, Headphones with base station (for gaming). How do you connect those various devices/equipment?
Thank you very much for the good description. I could connect my ARC HDMI to the new soyndbar thanks to your video. Will definitely recommend it!
Outstandingly straightforward with clear and concise explanations. My Sonos system has never worked properly and now I think I can get it functional. Thank you so much.
Perfect!!! Thank you. This worked once I enabled the CEC setting and PCM mode on both the TV and sound bar. Very easy video to follow
Great, Samsung LED tv with Sony Soundbar.. Worked like charm just by connecting the ARC HDMI

Best suggestion was checking the CEC setting in the TV. Once I turned that on and had the TV search for the sound bar it started working.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@JR2783 using what remote
Thank you so much
Wow.. thanks you're the best
Where can i see when i buy a smart tv if the tv supports hdmi arc?
Thanks! I didn't know what ARC means, so I neglect it :D
Alright with your stylus very understanding easy
Must it be a hdmi arc wire or the usual hdmi wire ? Thanks

Sir regular hdmi and hdmi arc are same ports. and regular hdmi to connectable to hdmi arc port
Very nice for help
PCM is only stereo, always connect using bitstream for dolby digital, DTS, or higher.
I was reading that ARC does not support the new version of Dolby Atmos or DTS-X. I believe this requires HDCP 2.2 HDMI input on TV and output on soundbar or receiver.
Correct. It requires a very new connection called eARC.
@@murderwasthebass1 Would someone please talk in plain English.
I’ve got Samsung TV and has hdmi 2 for arc and I presume you just run a hdmi lead from the soundbar to that port and then a PS4 that is in hdmi 1 or say firestick in hdmi 3 will run the picture on those ports and use hdmi 2 for audio? Sorry usually I use digital co axial of optical and this is new to me.

Now I want to add a 4k fire stick.
So I plug it into the soundbar or the tv hdmi ?
