The Bestisan soundbar is known for its exceptional audio quality, sleek design, and easy connectivity options. Whether you are a movie enthusiast or enjoy immersive gaming sessions, connecting the Bestisan soundbar to your TV can take your entertainment to new heights.

In this guide, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of connecting your Bestisan soundbar to your TV. We will explore different connection methods, including HDMI ARC, optical cable, and audio cable, so you can choose the option that works best for you. Additionally, we will provide troubleshooting tips for common issues you may encounter during the setup process.

Before we dive into the detailed steps, it’s essential to gather the necessary cables and accessories to ensure a smooth connection. Checking that you have all the required components ready will save you time and frustration later on. With that in mind, let’s get started!

Step 1: Gather the Required Cables and Accessories

Before you begin connecting your Bestisan soundbar to your TV, it’s important to gather all the necessary cables and accessories. This step ensures that you have everything you need for a successful setup, saving you time and avoiding any delays. Here are the essential items you’ll need:

• HDMI cable: This cable allows for high-quality audio and video transmission between your soundbar and TV. Make sure you have an HDMI cable that supports Audio Return Channel (ARC) if you plan to use the HDMI ARC connection method.
• Optical cable: If you prefer using an optical connection, you’ll need an optical cable. This cable transmits audio signals in digital format and is compatible with most TVs.
• Audio cable: An audio cable, also known as a 3.5mm auxiliary cable, may be required if your soundbar or TV doesn’t have HDMI or optical ports. This cable connects the audio output of your TV to the soundbar, enabling audio playback.
• Power cable: Of course, you’ll need the power cable that comes with your Bestisan soundbar. This cable connects the soundbar to a power source, ensuring it receives adequate power to function.
• Remote control: Don’t forget to locate the remote control that accompanies your Bestisan soundbar. You’ll need it to adjust the settings and control the volume during the setup process.

Once you have all these cables and accessories gathered, you can move on to the next step of connecting your Bestisan soundbar to your TV. Having everything ready will make the process seamless and help you enjoy your enhanced audio experience in no time!

Step 2: Choose the Appropriate Connection Method

Now that you have gathered all the necessary cables and accessories, it’s time to determine the most suitable connection method for your Bestisan soundbar and TV. The connection method you choose will depend on the available ports on both devices and your personal preferences. Let’s explore the three main options:

1. HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel): If your TV and soundbar have HDMI ARC ports, this is typically the recommended connection method. HDMI ARC allows for a single cable connection between the TV and the soundbar, enabling both audio playback and control of the soundbar using the TV remote. It provides high-quality audio and simplifies the setup process.
2. Optical Cable: If your TV doesn’t have an HDMI ARC port or if you prefer using an optical connection, you can opt for an optical cable. This method delivers digital audio signals from the TV to the soundbar, ensuring clear and accurate sound reproduction. However, keep in mind that optical cables only transmit audio, so you’ll need to use a separate connection for video signals.
3. Audio Cable: If your TV or soundbar lacks HDMI ARC or optical ports, using an audio cable can be a viable alternative. This method utilizes a 3.5mm auxiliary cable to connect the audio output of the TV to the soundbar. While it may not offer the same audio quality as HDMI or optical connections, it’s a convenient option for older TVs or soundbars without advanced connectivity options.

Take a moment to assess the ports available on your Bestisan soundbar and TV, and choose the connection method that best suits your setup. Once you have selected the appropriate method, we can proceed to the next steps of actually connecting the soundbar to your TV.

Step 3: Connect the Soundbar to the TV using HDMI ARC

If you have chosen to connect your Bestisan soundbar to your TV using HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel), follow these step-by-step instructions:

1. Locate the HDMI ARC ports on both your Bestisan soundbar and your TV. The HDMI ARC port on the soundbar may be labeled as “HDMI ARC” or “ARC”. On the TV, it is usually labeled as “HDMI ARC” or “Audio Return Channel”.
2. Using an HDMI cable that supports ARC, plug one end into the HDMI ARC port on your soundbar and the other end into the HDMI ARC port on your TV. Ensure that the cable is securely connected.
3. Now, turn on your TV and navigate to the settings menu. Look for the audio settings or sound settings option.
4. In the audio settings, locate and enable the HDMI ARC or Audio Return Channel option. This will ensure that the soundbar receives audio signals from your TV.
5. Adjust the volume settings on the TV and soundbar to a comfortable level, and you are all set!

Once the HDMI ARC connection is established, your TV will send audio signals to the soundbar, providing a hassle-free setup and allowing you to control the soundbar using your TV remote. Enjoy the enhanced audio experience that the Bestisan soundbar offers while watching your favorite movies, TV shows, or playing games.

If you encounter any issues with the HDMI ARC connection, refer to the troubleshooting section for possible solutions. If the HDMI ARC port on your TV is not functioning correctly, you can explore alternative connection methods such as optical cable or audio cable.

Step 4: Connect the Soundbar to the TV using Optical Cable

If you have decided to connect your Bestisan soundbar to your TV using an optical cable, follow these step-by-step instructions:

1. Locate the optical port on both your Bestisan soundbar and your TV. The optical port on the soundbar may be labeled as “Optical” or “Optical In”. On the TV, it is usually labeled as “Optical Audio” or “Digital Audio Out”.
2. Take your optical cable and insert one end into the optical port on the soundbar. Make sure it is securely connected.
3. Insert the other end of the optical cable into the optical port on your TV. Again, ensure a secure connection.
4. Power on your TV and access the settings menu. Look for the audio settings or sound settings option.
5. In the audio settings, select the optical audio output as the audio source. This will direct the audio signals from your TV to the soundbar.
6. Adjust the volume settings on the TV and soundbar to your desired level, and you’re done!

With the optical cable connection established, your Bestisan soundbar will receive digital audio signals from your TV, resulting in clear and accurate sound reproduction. While this method does not transmit video signals, it provides an efficient way to enhance your audio experience.

If you encounter any issues with the optical cable connection, refer to the troubleshooting section for possible solutions. If your TV or soundbar does not have an optical port, you can explore other connection methods such as HDMI ARC or an audio cable.

Step 5: Connect the Soundbar to the TV using Audio Cable

If your Bestisan soundbar or TV does not have HDMI ARC or optical ports, you can still connect them using an audio cable. Follow these step-by-step instructions:

1. Locate the audio output port on your TV. This is usually a 3.5mm headphone jack or a red and white RCA output.
2. If your TV has a 3.5mm headphone jack, take one end of the audio cable (3.5mm auxiliary cable) and insert it into the headphone jack on the TV. If your TV has red and white RCA outputs, you will need a 3.5mm to RCA adapter. Connect one end of the audio cable to the adapter and the other end to the RCA outputs.
3. Now, locate the audio input port on your Bestisan soundbar. This is typically a 3.5mm auxiliary input.
4. Insert the other end of the audio cable into the audio input port on the soundbar.
5. Power on your TV and soundbar.
6. Access the audio settings on your TV and select the appropriate audio output option. This may be labeled as “External Speakers” or “Audio Out”.
7. Adjust the volume settings on both the TV and the soundbar to your desired level, and you’re all set!

Although the audio cable connection may not offer the same level of audio quality as HDMI ARC or optical connections, it provides a simple and effective way to connect your Bestisan soundbar to your TV. This method is particularly useful if you have an older TV without advanced audio output options.

If you encounter any issues with the audio cable connection, refer to the troubleshooting section for possible solutions. Alternatively, you can explore other connection methods such as HDMI ARC or an optical cable if your TV or soundbar supports them.

Step 6: Power On the Soundbar and TV

Once you have successfully connected your Bestisan soundbar to your TV using the preferred method, it’s time to power on both devices. Follow these simple steps:

1. Ensure that both your soundbar and TV are plugged into power outlets.
2. Using the power cable that came with your Bestisan soundbar, connect the power adapter to the soundbar’s power input port.
3. Plug the other end of the power adapter into a nearby power outlet.
4. On your TV, locate the power button or use the TV remote to turn on the television.
5. Now, locate the power button on your Bestisan soundbar or use the soundbar remote to power it on.

Once both devices are powered on, you should see the soundbar’s indicators light up or display the soundbar’s logo on the screen, indicating that it’s ready to use. The TV screen should also display the default audio output source, which should be set to the soundbar.

Make sure to test the sound by playing some audio or video content on your TV. Adjust the volume settings on both the TV and soundbar to your desired level, ensuring that the audio is loud and clear.

If you experience any issues with the power-on process or if the soundbar or TV doesn’t turn on, refer to the troubleshooting section for possible solutions.

Once you have successfully powered on your Bestisan soundbar and TV, you are ready to enjoy an enhanced audio experience with your favorite movies, TV shows, music, or gaming sessions.

Step 7: Adjust the Soundbar Settings for optimal sound

After connecting your Bestisan soundbar to your TV and powering them on, it’s important to adjust the soundbar settings to optimize the audio output. Here are some tips to help you achieve the best sound quality:

• Audio Modes: Most soundbars, including the Bestisan model, offer various audio modes such as Movie, Music, and Game. Experiment with these modes to find the one that suits the content you are currently watching or listening to.
• Equalizer Settings: Some soundbars allow you to adjust the equalizer settings, which can significantly impact the audio quality. Take a look at the soundbar’s manual or user interface to explore the equalizer options and tailor the sound to your preferences.
• Bass and Treble: If your soundbar has dedicated bass and treble controls, you can fine-tune these settings to enhance the low and high frequencies according to your preference and the content you are playing.
• Virtual Surround Sound: Many soundbars offer virtual surround sound technology to simulate a more immersive audio experience. Enable this feature if available to enjoy a wider and more spatial soundstage.
• Volume Sync: If your Bestisan soundbar supports volume sync or volume leveling, consider enabling this feature to keep the audio output consistent across different sources or content.

As you make adjustments to the soundbar settings, take the time to test different audio content, such as movies, music, and TV shows, to ensure that the settings remain optimal across various media types. Don’t hesitate to fine-tune the settings further based on your personal preferences and room acoustics.

Remember to keep the soundbar’s remote control handy, as you may need to adjust the volume or settings directly from the soundbar during your audio setup process.

By customizing the soundbar’s settings to your liking, you’ll be able to enjoy an immersive audio experience tailored to your preferences and the content you’re enjoying.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

While connecting your Bestisan soundbar to your TV, you may encounter some common issues that can be easily resolved. Here are a few troubleshooting steps to help you overcome these challenges:

1. No sound: If you don’t hear any audio coming from the soundbar, ensure that the soundbar is powered on and connected to the TV using the correct cables. Check the volume levels on both the TV and soundbar, making sure they are not muted or set too low.
2. Wrong audio source: If the sound is coming from your TV speakers instead of the soundbar, check the audio output settings on your TV. Make sure the correct audio output source is selected, such as HDMI ARC, optical, or external speakers.
3. Poor audio quality: If you’re experiencing poor audio quality, ensure that all the cables are securely connected. Check for any loose connections or damaged cables that could be affecting the audio signal. If using an HDMI ARC connection, try a different HDMI cable or make sure the cable supports ARC functionality.
4. Soundbar not powering on: If your soundbar is not turning on, double-check that it is connected to a power source and that the power cable is securely plugged in. Try plugging the soundbar into a different power outlet to rule out any issues with the current outlet.
5. Remote control issues: If you’re having trouble controlling the soundbar with the remote control, ensure that there are no obstructions between the remote control and the soundbar. Check the batteries in the remote control and replace them if necessary. If the problem persists, try resetting the remote control or contacting Bestisan customer support for assistance.

If you’re still experiencing issues after troubleshooting, refer to the user manual or contact Bestisan customer support for further assistance. They will be able to provide specific guidance tailored to your soundbar model and help resolve any persistent problems.
