CONNECTING YOUR SPEAKER TO YOUR TV
GOOD

You can connect your sound bar to your TV if you have a headphone / Aux 3.5mm jack.

BETTER

If your TV has an Optical port, you can connect the sound bar to your TV this way for
digital sound. This method is similar in operation to the 3.5mm jack option.

BEST

HDMI (ARC) is the best option as it allows you to control the volume level of the sound
bar using your TV’s remote control.
If your TV has this input option, HDMI (ARC) is the best connection method.

TIPS ABOUT USING ARC

ARC SETUP

1) ARC control will only work through
HDMI sockets marked with “ARC”

2) ARC must be turned ON in the user menu
of all connected devices such as TV’s and
receivers.

ARC VOLUME CONTROL

The primary benefit that ARC control can provide (refer to the user manual of your
connected devices for more information) is to control sound levels of connected devices
together, such as your sound bar and TV.

For example, if you increase the volume of your TV, your sound bar will also increase
sound level. ARC is also able to power ON and power OFF your devices together but
again, please refer back to the user manual of your connected devices for more
information.

PROBLEMS WITH NON-ARC HDMI SOCKETS

Your sound bar may not work correctly when plugged into a non-ARC rated HDMI
socket. The tell-tale sign of this is that you get no sound at all out of your TV and or
Sound Bar even though you are increasing the volume on both. In this case, please check
that you are using a HDMI socket that supports ARC.
