Connect it right

  • HDMI ARC/eARC is best: one cable, and your TV remote controls volume.
  • Optical works on older TVs.
  • Bluetooth for music from your phone.

For parties and events

A party speaker is louder and portable; a Bluetooth speaker is best for on the go.

Protect your system

Plug TV and sound equipment into a stabilizer or surge protector.
