Bose Soundbars produce extremely high-quality sound with an added base effect and, luckily, it is usually a relatively easy process to connect your Bose Soundbar to most brands of Smart TVs. The ease of connecting your Bose Soundbar to your Smart TV will mainly depend on what operating systems your TV supports and what model of Bose Soundbar that you currently have. Read on to learn more about the details of how to connect your Bose Soundbar to different brands of Smart TVs.
To connect a Bose soundbar to your TV, first, ensure both devices are powered off. Connect one end of an HDMI cable to the HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) port on your TV and the other end to the soundbar. Turn on both devices, then use your TV’s audio settings to select the Bose soundbar as the default speaker.
After you’ve set up the connection via HDMI ARC for optimal audio quality, you might also want to explore other connectivity options your Bose soundbar offers, such as Bluetooth or an optical cable connection. Bluetooth allows for wireless streaming from your TV or other devices if your TV supports it, offering a clean setup without the clutter of cables. An optical cable is a reliable alternative if your TV does not have an HDMI ARC port, ensuring you still enjoy high-quality audio. Remember to check the specific capabilities of your Bose model and TV to determine the best connection method for your setup.
Then, take a HDMI cable and connect one end of it to the Audio Out Port of the Bose Soundbar. Now, connect the other end of the HDMI cable to the Smart TV HDMI ARC port.
Go ahead and change the audio output settings on your Smart TV. The audio settings can be found in the Audio Section of the TV menu. Be sure to change the audio output to the Bose Soundbar.
Also, enable the ARC which can be found in the Settings Menu of your Smart TV. Now, enable CEC (which stands for Consumer Electronics Control which controls all your HDMI devices with only one Remote Control) in your Smart TV Settings Menu.
Then, go to the Bose Soundbar’s Settings Menu and find the Audio Input Settings. On some models of Boise Soundbars, the Audio Input may be controlled by an actual switch on the Boise Soundbar.
If this doesn’t work, you can try using an optical cable. This method usually works better than using Bluetooth Connection.
An Optical Cable, which is also called a fiber optical cable, contains fiber optical fibers which can rapidly enhance the transmission of digital audio signals.
When you go to buy an Optical Cable, make sure that it will be long enough to reach from your Boise Soundbar to your Smart TV’s Optical Port. Now, connect one end of the Optical Cable to the TV’s Optical Port.
Then, connect the opposite end of the Optical Cable to the Poise Soundbar. Go to your Smart TV’s Audio Settings, which are usually found in the General Menu of the TV.
Now, change the Audio Output Settings to Optical. Then, change the Audio Source on your Boise Soundbar to Digital.
If you are still having trouble connecting your Boise Soundbar to your Smart TV, you can try, as a last resort, to connect them by using Bluetooth.
When you have enabled Bluetooth on both your Boise Soundbar and on your Smart TV, go ahead and press on the Bluetooth Button on either your Boise Soundbar or on your Remote Control. Look for the Bluetooth Menu on your Smart TV.
Then, try to find the Boise Soundbar where it is listed as a device that is available for pairing on the Bluetooth Pairing Menu.
Then select the Boise Soundbar as the device to pair with. Then check to see that both devices are fully paired. You can do this by going ahead and playing an audio file and checking to see if you are hearing sound from the Soundbar.
