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.

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

Thanks brother. I was going crazy not getting any sound till you shot me the CEC info. Sound came right on! Thank you.

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

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.

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

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!

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.
