Hi Everyone,
Hopefully a silly question that can be answered nice and quickly. I have Googled but to no avail.
I have the above mentioned Yamaha soundbar, Sky Q, Xbox Series X and a new LG TV.
What I would like to know is how to connect these all together.
Currently I have the Sky Q and Xbox connected to the TV via HDMI. What I need to know is how do i now connect the soundbar to the TV?
I have been told ARC via HDMI is the best, if not, Optical. So if I wish to connect the TV to the soundbar via ARC, how do I do this? Do i just plug in an HDMI cable into an unused HDMI port on the TV and then into the soundbar? That doesn't sound right to me.
For the time being I have plugged in an optical cable into the Optical Out port on the TV and into the Optical port on the soundbar. I set the TV to output sound via Optical but then when I go to the Yamaha sound bar, there is no option to select Optical for sound input! It was at this point I gave up!
I'm very confused by it all so please feel free to make me feel silly and tell me how simple it actually is to connect it all together. ;-)
Thanks
Paul
