OMG! After having my Vizio soundbar for a couple of years, I finally took it out of the box and decided to try and hook it up. So, I read the first couple of pages of the quick start guide (which was 3/4 of an inch thick), and then I needed help with which audio cable to use and which por😢ts to use. Well, my first search came up with this video. I kid you not, I listened to no more than 15 seconds of your video and I am now listening to my soundbar! I cannot vouch for the rest of this video, but it sure told me what to do in my situation in the first 15 seconds. Thank you so much!!!
How hook it up to my phone
My first thought looking when I saw this video was...."damn, Caleb, what happened to the rest of you?"
You look great man, congrats!
Thank you, this is a straight forward video without all the crap & got to the point straight away.
I also liked the way you talked.
It helped me set up my sound bar. 👍🏻
Thank you so much. It was so simple after listening to your video. I was hooking up an older television and you explained the different types of hook-ups wonderfully!!
I couldn’t get the sound until I found you. I was getting ready to return my Yamaha SR-C20A. Thank you so very much!
Thank you! It was a great help! I was struggling to fix it and I couldn't have done it without you!
Thanks for helping me out with my new TCL Soundbar. I've had it 2 weeks now and thought it was going and all I was really listening to was the TV sound. Lol. Now it's going , I can really tell the difference. WoW, it's AWESOME. Thanx...
I have had this sound bar for 2 months, and NOW it works! Wow this sounds incredible-Sony for only $98!! Thanks
You are the best!!! I bought my sound bar and woofer 2 months ago and could not figure it out. After I watch your video it was like bam! Thanks a million and keep up the good work.
Oh wow...had NO IDEA...it worked perfectly...thank you for the simple instructions..you're a genius!!
Thank you so much for this video. I was able to quickly follow and get up and running in NO time! It was the poor TV settings. My son took the PS5 and ran...left me with no sound! I'm so happy it was the TV and purchasing another HDMI cord.
Completely brilliant - thanks Caleb. I have watched several other soundbar setup videos, but no help at all. Have been tearing my hair out for several days because I couldn't get it to work at all (LG soundbar with TCL TV). Also, the instructions which came with the soundbar were hopeless. The key point was the requirement to turn on the CEC setting on the TV. Only your video highlighted this point. Now all is well!! Many thanks for your help
Thank you for the help!! My son told me what cable to buy since I have an older wired sound bar. I couldn't figure out how to get it to work...didn't realize I had to go thru audio instead of directly to sound bar. Works perfectly now...thanks again for the help!! 😊
Your video is straight to the point, and I understood everything. I realized I hooked my tv and soundbar to the hdmi instead of arc. I'm also getting a 2.0 arc cable for 4k instead of an old hdmi. Simply thanks ❤
This may be one of the better How-To videos I have seen for any topic. Very helpful, thanks!
I would never have known to change my TV settings without this video. Thank you, greatly appreciated!
Sir I really do appreciate your very valuable advice.
Thank you. Had the tv and sound bar for nearly 8 months. Finally putting away the soundbar remote now!
Thank you for this video it helped us realize that we were not able to use the HDMI on our LG tv but instead use the optical cord. It was works, yay!!!
Thanks for the "how to" connecting my old sound bar to my new TV. I appreciate the good advice and it worked!
Thank you so much for the accurate and thourogh directions to connect the Polk sound bar and subwoofer to my tv. I'm going to try the HDMI ARC method in the future to get the optimal sound out of the sound bar but I'm super happy with the sound I'm getting now. Amazing difference for a very reasonable cost. 👍🖥 🔊 🎶
3/8/22 Tuesday ~ Thank you so much for helping me to turn on sound for my new Vizio Soundbar.
This was hugely helpful, thank you for the many options that were available.
Thank you so much! I was having trouble connecting my sound bar but thanks to you it is now up and running!
Thank you!! You explained and then some. I'm happy now.
Thanks for the video. Had spent hours trying to get my LG TV and my Samsung sounder to work together. Once I switched CEC on (Simlink on the LG and Anynet on the Samsung) it all worked
Awesome, quick and easy. Thank you for this video, much appreciated 👍
I can't thank you enough for your step by step instructions. I have been trying to hook up my sound bar for days without success until you showed where the little input cord could connect to red glowing input. Once Ii plugged that in the sound bar came on immediately. Thanks a million!
I need my Sound Bar to connected to my phone
My Sound Is connected to Bluetooth but not to my phone Thanks very Much.
Terrific video - thank you. The CEC setting on my TVwas the culprit in my case. I turned that on and voilà!
Fixed my issue 1min into your video, following the intro. Great video man!
Only video I found that actually helped me connect my sound bar to the tv. Thanks
Real helpful video, good tips, thanks Caleb!!!!
Thank you so much lol trying to figure out how to get the sound out was annoying. Your video was perfect.
No bs, straight to the info, liked and subscribed,forever a dedicated fan. Thank you Steve.
Huge help!!!! New basic Sony S100F. Very basic. And TV is not smart but your info with the HDMI cable and settings was golden. Thanks so much 😊
Thank you, I bought a pretty basic Insignia soundbar and this was helpful for setting up to get all the apps to sound correct.
Thank you! This video was very helpful and simplified.
I appreciate your hard work in helping everyone understand how to get the best out of their equipment!
Yes! you helped me attach my soundbar. Good job! Thank you so much. I was going crazy!
This the only video over hundreds I've watched that solved my problem. I was able to adjust the tv setting and problem shot through your explanation. Thumbs double up!
Really helpful thank you
Very helpful and well organized video. You solved our problem and it works seamlessly with just one remote. Thank you.
Comment left... Caleb is looking fit!!
Thanks for the video. You solved my problem 1:41 minutes into you video. Well done. Very much appreciated. Be well my friend.
Omg thanks for this video you're a true life saver!!! I was struggling with my soundbar and thanks to this video I was able to fix it 😊
This is the best explanation, so clear and I loved how it ranked what to look for in order of sound and functionality. So much information packed into an easy to understand video
Popped up in my feed because I'm subscribed you're the best
I live in Japan but this video still made it easy for me to recognize how to hook up a sound bar! Thank you it was really easy!
Hope you get to review both the Sony HT-A7000 & HT-A9 soonish. Keep the quality coming Caleb & team. Cheers!✌️
Spent about four hours hooking it up and trying to get it to work. Nothing.
Tried every reconfiguration I could think of.
Then I watched your video and saw the CRC setting. And Wala. There it is.
Thank you so much. Wish I could give more thumbs up…
Voila*
Sweet first three minutes was all it took thanks!!!
Thee most helpful video I've watched on here in a while. Everything clearly explained
Was trying to setup my soundbar and this video helped me identify the issue I was facing. Thank you for the video especially for those not so savvy with this kind of thing 😂
Thanks mate finally got the settings right
You are amazing . I wait so long to connect .Great it worked out for me .Thank you .
Nice work Caleb. Thankyou.
Thank you! I gave up on getting my sound bar to automatically turn on with my tv a year ago when I bought it. However, I have someone house-sitting for me soon so decided to try and sync it again and found this easy to follow video. Thank you! Having to go into my Firestick settings to turn on my soundbar each time was driving me crazy!
Very Helpful. Thank you !
Great Helpful Video!!! Thank You!!!
I have a wireless sound bar and I was able to connect everything after watching less than half your video. Thanks so much!
Thank you!! Saved my mom and I some major time and headache and we only got 3 minutes into this video
Caleb
This video is what I was looking for. I bought my wife a Samsung HW-A50M soundbar/subwoofer.
Or TV is an Emerson from 2013. Looking at your video,
I’m thinking I need a digital optical cable. I will explore my setup tomorrow. 👍
Who knew I just had to swap the HDMI plug to Arc - cheers matey!
That's exactly what I have to do .
You been hitting the Gym? You’re looking great! Very helpful as always with your information.
Thank you. You solved it for me right away.
Bought a q950a 11.1.4 soundbar to go with my q90t that I bought last year...loving the setup so far...
Awesome review I learned something today about my tv keep it up thanks
Great instructional video! Exactly what I needed!
Thank you! 😊
The very best video explaining how to hook up my soundbar.
A really useful video. I now realise that I need an optical cable!
Very helpful. I couldn’t get my sound at to work so I had called Sony and the rep was no help she told me to call the TV manufacturer and she was even less helpful. After watching your video I got it working. Thank you sooooo much 😊❤

It's helpful Thank you
I never knew about ARC, now I know what to use for my Sony’s 80j oled
Thank you!
great video. Thank you for the help
Working an older Vizio sound bar with a new LG tv …will try all of your suggestions THANKS
Thanks for advice it working again.
Thank you so much. I wanted to let you know that you helped me resolve an issue that Tech Support was unable to resolve. I thought (and apparently tech support thought) that any HDMI would work. I was trying to connect my Visio V51-H6 sound bar to my Hisense 75HG8.
I had my PS5 connected to the first available HDMI, but that just happened to be the HDMI-ARC port that should have connected to the soundbar. I swapped the PS5 and soundbar HDMI cables and BAM! I could get immediate sound from my TV and control the volume with my TV remote.
Great video, thank you.
Best video I have found. Thank you!
Caleb looking great slimmed down quite a lot.!
