Hooking up a soundbar to a TCL Roku TV is not that different than connecting another soundbar to a different TV brand. It’s easy if you have the right components. Let’s take a look at how.
How To Connect
The first thing you need to do is to figure out which form of connection you plan to use. It needs to be one that is compatible with both devices, meaning both devices need the same connection.
Once you have the proper connections, you can turn on your TV and look for the proper settings. Go into settings (input) and choose the right connection (HDMI ARC, digital optical, RCA, etc.).
Double-check that all the inputs are pushed all the way in and are completely secure. If not, this could lead to one-sided audio or severe lag, or even no sound at all.
Once all the connections have been secured and double-checked, you can then test the sound. Turn on the TV, play your favorite movie, and wait for the impressive sound to come out of your excellent soundbar.
With most TVs being smart options now the setup and settings should be quite straightforward. To make things easier, we have condensed the process into a few simple steps:
- Connect the soundbar to the TCL Roku TV
- Turn on both devices
- Turn on “settings” on your TV
- Click on “control other devices”
- Enable the connection you chose
- Then head to system audio control on the main menu
- Enable the connection you chose
- Return to Home and the sound should be emitted from the soundbar
Setting For The Best Performance
For the best sound setting, set the device to Dolby D+ or DTS mode. This will enable the surround sound audio.
You want to go for high-quality surround sound audio for unsurpassed sound. Dolby Digital, Dolby Atmos and DTS technology [1] are the ones that grace home systems and mimic a theater sound system.
If your soundbar is capable of decoding this type of audio, then follow the steps below to enable this capability.
- Go to “settings” on your TCL Roku TV
- Choose “audio”
- Set the HDMI option or whichever connection to one of the above surround sound technologies
- Then do the same in “audio mode”
- Return to your home screen and enjoy surround sound!
One thing you can be sure of is that with a soundbar connected to your Roku TV, it will elevate and enhance the sound produced by the TV speakers. It will not only improve your viewing experience but surround sound is now the standard for entertainment.
Watch and feel the events spring to life on screen and feel like you are a part of the action with the right soundbar connection and settings.
