I spent 3 hours trying to connect my Sony soundbar to my tv following the manual.Watched these instructions & hooked it up right away! Thank you.It was one cord that I didn't need that the manual said I did ,smh.

Omg. I just want to say, after two days of struggling to connect my HDMI ARC cable from the sound bar to the tv, I got to 1:53 and saw I could connect my Xbox to the sound bar… so I tried hooking up the optical while the hdmi arc was still connected to the tv, and BAM IT WORKED! I don’t seem to even need the hdmi arc connected to the tv at all anyways?! Soooo, thank you. You made my family soooo happy!!!!

Amazing tutorial. I’ve been trying for months to find someone who could explain this. It’s embarrassingly simple haha so thank you for explaining.

You had us at the power cord lol. We thought the HDMI cable provided power through the TV. Thanks so much.

Yay! Turning off and unplugging the tv, then turning the tv and soundbar on, did the trick with the hdmi/ARC. 👍🏼

THANKS. I'm tech savvy but completely ignored the ARC instructions until this video.

After struggling with the HDMI cord from sound bar to TV didn't work. On this video it said it would connect to DVR (cable) to sound bar and sound bar to TV. Our TV had 2 HDMI connections but only one would work. Thanks for the help and we didn't have to call one of our kids :)

Yep - I was plugging in to ARC HDMI1 which doesn't work! As you point out, HDMI2 SRC in thios case does - thanks :)

If my TV doesn't have arc can I still use a hdmi connection or do I need to get optical
