Read before using Bluetooth audio devices We recommend using a wired connection rather than using Bluetooth. For the best sound quality and performance, connect your soundbar with a Digital Audio Out (Optical) or an HDMI (ARC) cable. HDMI is better if the only external device connected to your TV is your soundbar.
Is it better to connect soundbar with optical or Bluetooth?
For quality sound, the optical connection is more preferable. As with Bluetooth, the sound must be compressed and decompressed on the other end, resulting in some significant loss in sound quality in the process.
Is it better to connect soundbar with HDMI or optical or Bluetooth?
You should use HDMI ARC if you want the best audio quality and most reliable connection, or use Bluetooth if you want a cleaner setup and don’t care as much about the best audio quality.
Which connection is best for soundbar?
HDMI: The Best Way to Connect a Soundbar to a TV The best way to connect your soundbar to your TV is with an HDMI cable. This is because HDMI transfers audio digitally, which means it will be raw and uncompressed. Also, HDMI cables can handle the most high-end soundbars, including ones that support surround sound.
What does Bluetooth do on a soundbar?
Bluetooth connects a source device–in this case, your TV–to a receiver device–your soundbar. While Bluetooth is usually used to transmit and broadcast audio, it can be used for a variety of transmission purposes. For instance, it can be used as an alternative to SMS to send and receive text messages.
