Connecting your JBL Bar 800 to your TV is a straightforward process, and you can choose from several connection methods depending on your TV's capabilities and your preferences.
1. HDMI ARC/eARC
- HDMI ARC/eARC is the recommended connection method for optimal audio quality and features.
- Your JBL Bar 800 and TV must have an HDMI ARC or eARC port.
- Connect the soundbar's HDMI ARC/eARC port to your TV's corresponding port using an HDMI cable.
- This connection allows for audio to be transmitted from your TV to the soundbar, including surround sound formats and enhanced audio features.
2. Optical Cable
- If your TV doesn't have HDMI ARC/eARC, you can connect the JBL Bar 800 using an optical cable.
- Connect the soundbar's optical input to your TV's optical output port.
- This connection provides good audio quality but may not support all advanced audio formats.
3. Bluetooth
- You can connect the JBL Bar 800 to your TV wirelessly via Bluetooth.
- This option is convenient but may have lower audio quality compared to wired connections.
- Check if your TV supports Bluetooth audio output.
4. Analog Audio (3.5mm or RCA)
- Some TVs may have analog audio outputs (3.5mm or RCA).
- Connect the soundbar's analog input to your TV's analog output using the appropriate cable.
- This connection offers the lowest audio quality and is generally not recommended.
Remember:
- Refer to your JBL Bar 800 and TV manuals for specific connection instructions.
- Ensure you use high-quality cables for the best audio experience.
- Once connected, configure your TV's audio settings to output sound through the JBL Bar 800.
