How do you connect a Yamaha soundbar to your TV?

First unpack the soundbar, and have your television and required HDMI cable ready. With the following 5 steps, you can enjoy your new TV and soundbar within minutes.

Step 1. Connect the power cables

Step 2. Connect the soundbar to the TV

Step 3. Place the soundbar in front of the TV

Step 4. Open the sound settings

Step 5. Choose the soundbar as sound source

First, put the TV in the right place. Make sure the power cable of the television is plugged into the socket. Next, connect the power cable of the soundbar to the connector at the back of the soundbar. Next to this connector, it says 'DC IN 20V'. Plug the connector of the soundbar into the socket. Note: don't turn the soundbar on yet. You do that in step 3.

Next, connect the soundbar to the television with the HDMI cable. Plug one end of the HDMI cable into the soundbar in the connector that says 'TV (ARC) HDMI out'. Plug the other end into the HDMI connector of your TV.

Place the soundbar in the right spot in front of the TV and turn the soundbar on. Pres the button on top of the soundbar. Did you accidentally turn on your soundbar earlier? Start again at step 1, because otherwise you might not get sound from the soundbar.

Use the remote to test if you can still control the television from where you sit. Doesn't it work? The soundbar blocks the signal of the remote. Place the soundbar about 10cm in front of the television, to allow the signal to pass.
