If your source devices do not have this option, they may have a digital optical or analog one. You can use the digital coaxial connection for a Blu-ray Disc, DVD player, or another audio source that has this option available. If you decide not to use the soundbar for watching certain content, turn the TV's internal speakers on, and then off when using the soundbar again. Ordinarily, you only need to make the external speaker setting once. You may also be able to choose digital optical or analog (it may detect this automatically depending on which is connected). You can do this via the TV's audio or speaker settings menu and turning off the TV's internal speakers (don't get this confused with the MUTE function, which would also affect your soundbar) or turning on the TV's external speaker or audio output option.

If the TV has both, it is your choice.Īfter connecting your TV, make sure it can send audio signals to the soundbar. If the TV does not have this connection, use the analog stereo connections if the TV provides that option. The digital optical connection is best for sending audio from the TV to the soundbar. The position and labeling may vary.ĭigital Optical, Digital Coaxial, and Analog Stereo connections are from left to right with their corresponding cable types. Shown above are connections found on a basic soundbar. In the case of wall mounting, make the connections before permanently mounting the soundbar. If the soundbar does not come with wall mounting hardware or a template, check the user guide for more on what you need and if the manufacturer offers the items as optional purchases.Īfter placing the soundbar, connect your TV and other components. Use the template to find the best spot and mark the screw point for provided wall mounts. Many soundbars come with hardware or a paper wall template.
It is best to mount it under the TV as the sound is better directed to the listener. You can place a soundbar under or above a wall-mounted TV. If the soundbar features Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, or DTS Virtual:X audio capability, placing it within a cabinet shelf is not desirable as the soundbar needs to project sound vertically for overhead surround sound effects. When putting a soundbar on a shelf inside a cabinet, place it as forward as possible so that sound directed to the sides is not obstructed. Measure the soundbar's height versus the vertical space between the stand and the bottom of the TV to make sure the soundbar doesn't block the screen. If your TV is on a stand, table, shelf, or cabinet, place the soundbar just below the TV, which is ideal since the sound will come from where you're looking.
