from a TV to emit through the soundbar rather than the TV’s inbuilt speakers.

soundbar. Connect the other end of the cable into your TV’s HDMI (ARC) port.
2. Press the mode button on the soundbar or remote control and change the soundbar to
HDMI ARC mode.
3. Ensure ‘HDMI ARC’ is selected as the TV’s audio output and the sound of media from
the TV should emit from the soundbar.
4. Use the remote control/soundbar to make audio adjustments.
