Bose soundbars may be linked to television through various means, including HDMI, optical, and Bluetooth connections, among others. HDMI is the most effective and widely used approach available today when it comes to performance. It is important to pick the most proper method of association for your soundbar and TV, depending on the specifications of each device.
When it comes to streaming media, Bluetooth is a technology that is seldom used and is not always supported by the TV or the soundbar. Audio sent through HDMI ARC is of very high quality. Thus it is always given priority. It is the recommended way in almost every audio system.
This essay will explore the HDMI ARC, optical, and Bluetooth connectivity options available.
Using HDMI ARC
It is possible to link your TV and soundbar together if both devices support HDMI ARC. This will allow you to transfer audio from your TV to your soundbar.
Check to see whether your television has an HDMI ARC port. If your television does not support ARC (Audio Return Channel), you will be unable to hear the sound from your television via the soundbar.
If your television has an HDMI port, it will be labeled “HDMI ARC.” If you are unsure and not stated, you may get assistance from the owner’s handbook for your television or their customer service.
To connect via HDMI ARC, follow the instructions outlined below.
- Turn your television and soundbar off.
- Purchase an HDMI cable; the procedure is the same whether or not you are utilizing HDMI ARC.
- Connect one end to your television and the other to your soundbar.
- Turn on the television and the soundbar.
- Changing your television’s audio output may be done via the TV’s settings.
- Change the audio input on your soundbar from RCA to HDMI.
That may alter the settings listed above in various ways depending on the type of your television and soundbar. However, these are the only stages that must complete.
When you’re finished, you’ll be able to hear sound coming from the soundbar. Try resetting your soundbar and connecting again, as there may be some other settings interfering with the audio transmission and preventing it from being sent.
Using Optical Cable
If your television does not support HDMI ARC, this is the second option available. It is also a more current approach, and it is favored after HDMI.

If a wifi connection is available, you may make use of it. By buying a wireless conversion kit, you may also make it accessible if not already available.
