Having a Vizio Sound Bar is a great way to enhance your TV audio experience. But, connecting it to your TV might seem like a daunting task. If you’re struggling to connect your Vizio Sound Bar to your TV, don’t worry, we’re here to help you.
Step 1: Check your TV audio output
The first step is to check your TV audio output. Most TVs have an audio output that can be connected to a sound bar. The most common audio output on TVs is the Optical Digital Audio output. You can check your TV manual to know what type of audio output it has.
Step 2: Connect the Vizio Sound Bar to your TV
Once you know what type of audio output your TV has, you can connect the Vizio Sound Bar to your TV. If your TV has an Optical Digital Audio output, you can use an Optical Digital Audio cable to connect the sound bar to your TV. If your TV has an HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) output, you can use an HDMI cable to connect the sound bar to your TV.
Step 3: Turn on the TV and the Vizio Sound Bar
Once you have connected the Vizio Sound Bar to your TV, turn on both the TV and the sound bar. Make sure that the volume on both the TV and the sound bar is turned down to zero.
Step 4: Select the audio output
Now, you need to select the audio output on your TV. Go to your TV settings menu and select the audio output. If you have connected the sound bar to your TV using an Optical Digital Audio cable, select Optical Digital Audio as the audio output. If you have connected the sound bar to your TV using an HDMI cable, select HDMI ARC as the audio output.
Step 5: Adjust the volume
Finally, adjust the volume on both the TV and the sound bar. You can use the TV remote to adjust the volume on the sound bar. If the sound bar has a remote, you can also use it to adjust the volume.
