Most soundbars also offer optical audio inputs for older TVs without HDMI ARC support, but you’ll want to check to make sure (or you could just upgrade to a new TV<\/a> too!). We recommend sticking to soundbars with HDMI ARC at a minimum. It’s a much simpler connection, and it’s the minimum requirement for sending 3D audio formats that use height channels like Dolby Atmos<\/a> or DTS:X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Most soundbars support wireless streaming via Wi-Fi and\/or Bluetooth. Higher-quality models may also provide spare HDMI inputs to plug in source devices directly and pass video through to your TV like a traditional A\/V receiver. What you need depends entirely on your use case, but for most people, a simple HDMI connection for HDMI ARC\/eARC will suffice. These cables are usually included in the box. If not, here is an affordable cable we like<\/a>.<\/p>\n
