Step 3.Connect one end of a digital optical cable to the OPTICAL OUT port on the TV and then connect the other end to the DIGITAL AUDIO IN (OPTICAL) port on the soundbar.

Step 4.On the TV, Navigate to Settings.

A Bluetooth connection doesn't produce the same sound quality as HDMI, but it's loved because of the advantage of being wireless. The main challenge with Bluetooth is that the connection can be unstable due to external factors like a power outage or other electric devices. Bluetooth is still a nice and easy option to have, however.

Step 1.Press the Source button on the soundbar, and then set the soundbar to the “BT” setting. “BT” automatically changes to “BT PAIRING” in a few seconds or changes to “BT READY” if there is a connection record.

Step 2.When “BT READY” appears, press and hold the Source button on the soundbar for more than 5 seconds to display “BT PAIRING”.

Step 3.Once the soundbar is in pairing mode, navigate to Settings on the TV.

Step 4.Select Sound and then select Sound Output.

Step 5.Select Bluetooth Speaker List.

Step 6.Select your soundbar from the list and then select Pair and Connect.
