0:28
a face reveal is happening very soon.
0:30
You won't want to miss it. All right,
0:32
let's get started. First, make sure
0:34
you've got everything. Your Vitzio
0:35
soundbar, a TV with audio output, and
0:38
either an HDMI or optical cable. If
0:40
you're missing a cable, check the links
0:42
in the description. Now, if your TV has
0:43
an HDMI ARC port, plug one end of the
0:46
HDMI cable into that port and the other
0:48
into your soundbar's HDMI ARC port. This
0:51
setup lets you control volume with your
0:52
TV remote. Super convenient. No HDMI
0:55
ARC? No worries. just use an optical
0:57
cable instead. Connect it from your TV's
0:58
optical out to the soundbar's optical
1:00
input. That's it. You're all set for
1:02
better sound. Once everything's plugged
1:04
in, go ahead and power on both your TV
1:06
and your soundbar. Now, just grab your
1:08
Vizio soundbar remote and press the
1:10
input button. If you used HDMI, select
1:13
the HDMI input. If you went with
1:15
optical, select optical. You should see
1:17
an indicator light change on the
1:18
soundbar to confirm your input
1:20
selection. Next, head over to your TV
1:22
settings. Navigate to the sound section
1:24
and then look for expert settings or
1:26
advanced audio settings depending on
1:27
your TV brand. Here's the key step.
1:29
Change the digital audio output format
1:31
to PCM. PCM is a widely compatible
1:34
format and honestly it often works best
1:36
with external sound bars. Once you've
1:38
selected that, just exit the menu. Now
1:40
comes the moment of truth. Play
1:41
something, maybe a YouTube video,
1:43
Netflix, or really anything you like.
1:45
You should hear the sound coming through
1:46
the soundbar now. If you don't, double
1:48
check your cable connections and make
1:49
sure the soundbar input is correctly
1:51
selected. Also, make sure your TV's
1:53
internal speaker is disabled, which is
1:55
usually found in the audio settings as
1:57
well. Still not getting sound? Try this.
1:59
Unplug both the TV and the soundbar.
2:00
Wait about 30 seconds and plug them back
2:03
in. That quick reset can solve quite a
2:05
few handshake issues between devices.
2:07
Also, just be sure you're using cables
2:08
in good condition. Damaged or cheap HDMI
2:11
or optical cables can be a hidden
2:12
culprit. And that's it. With just a few
2:15
simple steps, your Vizio soundbar should
2:17
now be up and running with your TV,
2:19
giving you an immersive and much more
2:20
enjoyable sound experience. If this
