Best way to connect my sound bar to TV and PlayStation 4

rmc0011 — Wed, 12 Nov 2014 09:27:46 GMT

Hi all,

Could someone please help me.:smileyconfused:

I have recently bought a sound bar to go with my TV.

I have high-speed HDMI from my TV to my sound bar connected through the HDMI ARC inputs, on the TV and sound bar.

A high-speed HDMI from my PlayStation 4 to my TV.

Then I have an optical sound cable from my PlayStation 4 to my sound bar.

I would be very grateful to know if this is the right way to set it up, as I went on the internet to check and there are many conflicting views about setups

In addition, what would be the best Sony PlayStation sound setting to use?

My Equipment

Sony TV KDL-55W829B

Sony Sound Bar HT-CT370

Sony PlayStation 4

Thanks

Richard

Hi there

Your almost there Remove the optical cable completely. Its only needed if your TV does not support the ARC feature, and would not work with the PS4 anyhow (with that connection anyway).

There are two ways to connect this up:

First way

HDMI Cable from CT370s HDMI-ARC port to the TVs HDMI-ARC port
HDMI Cable from the PS4 to the TV

Second

HDMI Cable from CT370s HDMI-ARC port to the TVs HDMI-ARC port
HDMI Cable from the PS4 to the CT370

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.:smileyhappy:

I have now removed the optical cable completely.

Now my connection is as you explained in you “First Way”

Is there any advantage of connecting my PS4 to the CT370 via HDMI rather than to my TV?

Thanks
