Troubleshooting guide
Connect a Sound Bar to Your TV
Before You Start
The connections illustrated in this solution use the HT-CT660 sound bar. Your sound bar and TV
connections may vary. Check your manual for model-specific information. Manuals are posted
on your model support page.
After the devices are connected, switch the sound bar settings to TV.
Choose Your Connection Method
Connect to your TV using HDMI® (ARC)
To determine if the HDMI IN port on your TV supports the Audio Return Channel
(ARC) function, check for the ARC label. If it doesn't have this label, the ARC function won't
work.
1. Connect one end of the HDMI cable (sold separately) to the HDMI IN (ARC) port on your TV.
2. Connect the other end to the TV OUT (ARC) port on your sound bar.

Connect to your TV using HDMI (without ARC) and an optical audio cable
1. Connect one end of the HDMI cable (sold separately) to the HDMI IN port on your TV.
2. Connect the other end to the TV OUT (ARC) port on your sound bar.
3. Then, connect an optical audio cable from the TV's Optical digital audio out to OPTICAL IN on
your sound bar (this is necessary to hear the TV audio).

Connect to your TV using an optical audio cable only
When you connect only with an optical audio cable, functions which require an HDMI
connection, such as power interlock and volume control with the TV remote, won't be possible.
