Prerequisites

- A working HDMI connection
- The Sonos app
Connection Process
- Connect an HDMI cable to the HDMI OUT (ARC) port on your Sonos soundbar and an available HDMI port on your Samsung TV.

- Navigate to your Samsung TV's settings:
- For HDMI ARC: Go to Settings > Sound > Additional Settings, select HDMI ARC, and toggle the switch to the "On" position.
- For HDMI-CEC: Go to Settings > External Device Manager > HDMI-CEC Settings and select "On" or "Enabled".
- In the TV's settings, go to Sound > Sound Output > Receiver (HDMI) or TV Speakers and select "Receiver (HDMI)".
Remote Control
With the soundbar connected to your Samsung TV remote, you can control volume, change channels, and access TV settings without the need for multiple remotes. You can also control volume, mute, and playback (play, pause, stop).
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues during the setup or usage, consult the user manuals for the specific TV and soundbar models. To troubleshoot, ensure both devices are on the same WiFi network, restart both devices, and check the HDMI cable connection.
Note
Connecting the Sonos soundbar to the Samsung TV will not affect the video quality. The Sonos soundbar is compatible with a wide range of TV brands and models, not just Samsung.
Enabling HDMI-CEC
HDMI-CEC is a feature that enables a TV to communicate with other devices connected via HDMI, and it is important for controlling the Sonos soundbar with the TV remote. To configure the TV remote to control the Sonos soundbar, navigate to Settings > Sound > Sound Output > Additional Settings, select "External Device Control" or "AnyNet+ (HDMI-CEC)", and set "Control with TV Remote" to "On" or "Enabled".
Understanding ARC and eARC
Both ARC and eARC allow the TV to send audio signals to the soundbar via HDMI. eARC offers higher bandwidth and more advanced audio features.
Multiple Devices
The Sonos soundbar can be connected to multiple devices using multiple HDMI ports.
In Conclusion
Connecting a Sonos soundbar to a Samsung TV offers a convenient and seamless audio experience. With this guide, you're now equipped to connect your Sonos soundbar to your Samsung TV and enjoy improved sound quality and simplified control. Happy listening!
