There are mainly four ways to set up a soundbar,

Choose the one method you like to go after. We recommended going with either HDMI or Optical Cable. They both have the upper hand over the rest of them. Essentially you will experience a great sound quality.

Suppose you don’t want to join anything like that, not a big deal. You can still connect it directly with your TV.

Here is how to connect it with an HDMI cable.

Turn off all the devices.

Plug the HDMI cable into relative ports

Pick the HDMI cable on your hand, connect one end of the cable to your TV (ARC port), then put the second end of the HDMI cable into the soundbar Port.

Open up the TV audio setting> Enable CEC

This is the last critical step; once you connect your Samsung soundbar to your TV, make sure you enable the CEC mode from your Tv’s audio settings. If you don’t know how to enable it? Check your remote see the text on them. There should be something “CEC ON.,” or the second option is to head over the TV settings> Audio settings> there must be this option available. Let’s assume you didn’t find such an option there. Only the last chance you’ve left is to check the manual-book and look there regarding CEC.

If You’ve attached other things too like firebox, Xbox, in that case, in order to get the best sound quality that can be. You will need to enable the Anynet+ option on your TV.

One thing to pay attention to here at the moment, make sure the end of the optical is clear. Because often companies put covers on the cap.

How to connect Samsung soundbar to TV with an AUX

This method is overall not recommended. You will not indeed experience the great quality sound that way.

Even if you have a good soundbar, when you connect with AUX or RCA, it will not let off that much quality you might itch for.

Here is how to connect it with an AUX cable.

Get the AUX cable

It is a regular cable tough, nothing much to say about it. Just get ONE, that’s all.

Plug it into the AUX port on your TV and Samsung soundbar.

On the back of the TV, you can see a Port named AUX port. Simply put the cable on either end of the ports. Keep in mind, most often, Samsung soundbars don’t come up with ports with AUX names on them. If you see such a weird thing, use a Headphone jack instead. Everything will work flawlessly.

It can work well with soundbars with left and right speakers only.

Disadvantages of Using AUX Cable

Only supports left and right speakers.

It gives a Poor quality sound as compared to HDMI.
