Connection of the soundbar (sound panel) JBL to TV

Soundbar is a relatively new product in the digital technology market. This sound panel is chosen for compact dimensions, sufficient functionality and ease of use. The design and the use of innovative technologies well.thought out to the smallest detail allows you to achieve high.quality sound. This device is distinguished by the ability to compete with expensive and massive acoustic systems. To achieve the desired effect, you need to know how to correctly connect the soundbar to the TV, computer.

The sound panel provides a volumetric sound and improves the quality of watching films

Location

If the TV is on the cabinet, rack, rack, table or chest of drawers, then the soundbar can simply be put immediately in front of it. True, it is necessary to measure the distance from the surface of the rack to the screen and check whether the soundbar will fit into this gap and whether the image will block the image. But this location is perfect. the sound will go almost “from the picture”.

If you want to install the soundbar inside the rack, then it should be put forward as forward so that the sound walls of the rack do not interfere with the sound. It must also be borne in mind that the soundbars supporting Dolby Atmos and DTS: X should not be put inside the racks. since they work with the sound reflected from the ceiling to create vertical audio effects.

The front and side panels of the soundbar are better not to cover in anything and not to prevent the spread of sound. At least in the photo and it is shown differently

If the TV hangs on the wall, then the soundbar can be screwed under it. many models are equipped with wall mounts. It can be arranged both under the TV and above it, but from below it is still better, since the height of the sound source is about the same as the listeners, and such an option, in our opinion, looks prettier. Combines with soundbars are often mounted and/or paper templates that will easily mark the wall under the holes for screws.

Bluesound Pulse Soundbar sound can be fixed even on a TV rack

If there are no fasteners in the kit with the soundbar, you should contact the user’s leadership and see if it can, in principle, hang it on the wall, and what the manufacturer recommends purchasing for this.

Review of mini-Sunbar

Such sound equipment for PC takes up a minimum of space and can be connected in several ways. And to get an idea of ​​soundbars, a brief overview of models was drawn up. Based on customer reviews, the following three sound systems have a good price ratio with quality.

Edifier Cinesound B7

The soundbar reproduces sound without interference due to the presence of a triple amplifier and a digital signal processing system. It is equipped with a separate wireless subwoofer. Automatic transition to sleep mode 10 minutes after turning off the computer. Sold at a price of about 14 thousand. rubles.

Yamaha Yas-107

Model with the possibility of mounting on the wall. Due to four speakers, it provides an almost impeccable sound. For the convenience of users, the manufacturer provided for the adjustment of the soundbar through a mobile application. Average

Canton DM 55

Sound panel produced in three colors: gray, white and black. Sufficient capacity of 200 watts and 6 speakers that support the frequencies of three ranges at once. Costs an average of 32 thousand. rubles.

Sharp HT-SB106

A wide frequency range from 55 to 20 kHz provides pure sound in all frequency ranges. Average

The disadvantages include only a slight power.

Connection to PC

The connection method depends on which connectors support the device. The most common are the following:

According to Bluetooth

This is a wireless connection of soundbar to PC. When using a laptop, additional adapters also does not need. But the stationary computer cannot be connected without a Bluetooth adapter, except when this controller is integrated into the motherboard.

Having done these actions, the soundbar will automatically connect to the computer when Bluetooth in the area of ​​action.

Through HDMI

When using this method, the connection of the PC and the sound panel occurs by connecting the cable to the corresponding connectors. Therefore, a prerequisite is the presence of HDMI inputs on a computer or laptop.

In the case of proper connection, the soundbar will be displayed in the panel of sound devices. Immediately you can choose the equipment used by default. This is relevant while connecting several acoustic systems.

How to connect to a computer

Connecting the soundbar to the computer is very simple. To do this, you need to find the necessary nest for the plug on the back of the system unit (or side laptop panel). It has three entrances: two for columns and subwoofer, and the third, for the microphone (however, we will not need it). In order for the owner to confuse the entrances, there is a stylized image of the device above each nest that must be connected to this nest.

Next, it remains to deal with food

Connect it carefully, it is desirable that at this moment the device itself is disconnected. When the power plug is connected, press the corresponding button on the soundbar control panel and the device will turn on

If there is an additional sound card on the system unit (or laptop), it is best to connect the green and pink wire to it, this will provide a better processing process for the sound signal. There are so.called “external” (or remote) sound cards, but the principle of connection in them remains the same: two nests and two plugs. In other cases, an adapter may be required, but it, as a rule, comes complete with the device.

After the power is turned on, the sound panel is ready for use almost immediately. The bass column may require pressing another power button located on its control panel. After clicking, the search for devices and their synchronization occurs automatically. The user can only adjust the volume and other equalizer settings.

How to connect AV resident to a computer?

At first glance, a difficult issue of connecting the AV-reiver to PC is actually solved simply. The most important condition is the presence of a video card on the HDMI support on a personal computer. These are almost all modern devices. In this case, the connection occurs according to the scheme:

HDMI video card-HDMI cable-connector on the “HDMI In” AV resource

If the HDMI connector is absent, then you can use a special adapter from DVI to HDMI.

Using the “HDMI In” connectors on the AV-resort, you can connect other equipment. As you can see, everything is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance. However, if, nevertheless, there is no time for these manipulations or I want to guarantee a lack of error during switching and tuning equipment, it is always possible to resort to the help of a specialist.

How to connect and configure the soundbar [translation]

If the TV is on the cabinet, rack, rack, table or chest of drawers, then the soundbar can simply be put immediately in front of it. True, it is necessary to measure the distance from the surface of the rack to the screen and check whether the soundbar will fit into this gap and whether the image will block the image. But this location is perfect. the sound will go almost “from the picture”.

If you want to install the soundbar inside the rack, then it should be put forward as forward so that the sound walls of the rack do not interfere with the sound.

If the TV hangs on the wall, then the soundbar can be screwed under it. many models are equipped with wall mounts. It can be arranged both under the TV and above it, but from below it is still better, since the height of the sound source is about the same as the listeners, and such an option, in our opinion, looks prettier. Combines with soundbars are often mounted and/or paper templates that will easily mark the wall under the holes for screws.

Bluesound Pulse Soundbar sound can be fixed even on a TV rack

If there are no fasteners in the kit with the soundbar, you should contact the user’s leadership and see if it can, in principle, hang it on the wall, and what the manufacturer recommends purchasing for this.

Basic connections

When it is already clear how exactly to arrange a soundbar, you should think about how to connect a TV and other devices to it. In the case of a wall mount, you should first connect everything, and then hang the soundbar.

The photo below shows the connectors that can be found on the soundbar. Of course, the location and signatures may vary depending on the brand and model, but this photo illustrates the “average in the hospital” option.

From left to right, the digital optical entrance, digital coaxial input and analog stereo, and under the connectors, are the corresponding cable plugs. Digital connection is best suited for transmitting a signal from a TV to the soundbar. If the TV with which the soundbar is planned to be, so does not know how to use an analogue connection. If the TV is ready to connect both by number and analogue, then you should choose to your taste.

Now you need to make sure that the TV sends an audio signal to the soundbar, with which it is connected by the cable. To do this, go to the sound settings menu on the TV, turn off the built.in acoustics of the TV and enable the option of working with external acoustics. There, quite possibly, the TV will offer to choose what way out he will send an audio signal. digital or analogue. But smart TVs themselves determine which entrance and what they have connected.

In theory, external acoustics is chosen only once. If you want to watch something through the built-in audio system of the TV, you will need to get into the settings again, turn off the soundbar and turn on the built-in speakers. And then do all the manipulations again.

Digital coaxial entrance can be used to connect BLU-RAY, DVD players and other digital sources that have such a way out. If they are deprived of a coaxial output, they most likely have an optics or analogue.

Another connection option (it is not in the picture)-3.5 mm minijack. He either replaces analog stereo, or is adjacent to them. Minijek is convenient for connecting portable digital audio devices. But they can also be connected using an adapter RCA minijack, which is sold separately.

connections

Plus to digital optical, digital coaxial and analogue stereans, which we talked about in the last section, the soundbars of a higher class are equipped with other connectors. They are visible in the photo.

HDMI. Using an HDMI input, you can convey a video signal from a DVD/BD player and TV settings to the TV via soundbar. The soundbar lets the video signal through itself, without changing it in any way, but pulls out the sound from the broadcast and decodes it independently.

This solution reduces the wires of wires: you do not need to connect the TV with a separate cable to both the video source and to the soundbar. over, the soundbar is capable of supporting HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel)-then the television sends an audio signal to the soundbar using the same HDMI cable, which the soundbar uses to transfer video to TV for TV. Due to this, the number of necessary cables is reduced again.

To use this function, you need to activate it on the HDMI TV menu. Before that, it is better to consult with the user’s manuals both for the soundbar and for the TV, since in different brands these settings are located in different sections.

Exit to the subwoofer. Many soundbars have access to the subwoofer. If the adjustable soundbar has this, you can physically connect an external subwoofer to it. Very often subwoofers need soundbars as low.frequency support for more full viewing of the movie.

And although the soundbars often come with the subwoofer, some are still not burdened. But if there is a connector, the subwoofer can be added to the system yourself. Many soundbars that have a subwoofer set to reduce the number of necessary cables associate with it wirelessly, even if they have the necessary connector.

Ethernet port. Another connection option is Ethernet port. Soundbars with such a connector can be connected to a home network, and through it. to streaming services. Or even introduce into a multi.speed system.

Often the soundbars with Ethernet port are equipped with Wi-Fi, which, again, does not require cables. Here it is already worth choosing which version of the network connection is more convenient for a particular case.

Soundbar configuration with subwoofer

If the subwoofer is in the kit with the soundbar, you need to find a suitable place for it. It is necessary to arrange it, firstly, conveniently (that is, next to the outlet), and secondly, so that it sounds.

Soundbar LG NB3740 (with Bluetooth connection): accessories and external devices

3D glasses, wireless keyboards, webcams, HDMI cables, Wi-Fi adapters, wall mounts, satellite tuners, media players and other additional components for Webos Televisionstones.

I can’t connect the NB3740 soundbar via Bluetooth, tell me what’s the matter?PS: Sat worker. I connected it to its nokia = everything synchronized and played music, and for some reason the TV does not see the SB (Bluetooth connection was put in the settings).

On the SB console there is a ‘Function’ button. to turn on BT, but it is turned on and visible by devices (in particular, my Nokia smartphone). The problem is that the TV does not see the SB. I’m trying to connect this:

“Smart” (button with a house on the remote control). Connective manager. Sound panel. Change the audio output = yes. Bluetooth. Audio output = synchr. LG sound (wireless) = device not detected

When turning on the Bluetooth button on the remote control, I also have no connection with the TV. I use it only for music from the phone.

When repeated pressing on “Function” does not change the mode from Bluetooth to LG TV?I think that in addition to the standard Bluetooth, the soundbar uses the company’s company to communicate with the TV.

Therefore, warns “make sure that the sound panel is included and stopped in LG TV mode.”

I don’t have LG TV (at least I have never found it anywhere).My remote control:

I read somewhere on the forums that Bluetooth has this headphone model, but in the settings there is a choice of various devices. maybe some kind of update stood crookedly? And Bluetooth glittered/incorrectly began to rob.

After the first inclusion, the telly was updated several times.

What you need to use HDMI ARC?

To use the advantages of the HDMI ARC protocol, you will need a TV and device (AV-resort or soundbar) with the corresponding HDMI defects supporting ARC.

Look carefully at the back panel of your TV. If it has three or four HDMI slats, find the one signed “(ARC)”. Marking is not required, but if your device was released at the end of 2009 or later, such a port must be at your disposal. If you can’t find it, consult a user management.

Read how to connect a USB mouse to a computer

Some HDMI ARC TV models can work automatically. If this is not your case, you will have to take the remote control and configure several parameters, including turning off the built-in speakers of TV and allow it to send an audio signal to the external acoustic system or AV-resort.

To use HDMI ARC, you do not need to buy a new HDMI cable-any available will cope with the requirements for it. The problem can occur only when switching to EARC; Read more about this next.

As part of this process, you can consider the possibility of connecting the HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), which will allow the TV and adjust the volume on the soundbar or AV-resort without using several remote controls. It is worth noting, however, that the use of HDMI CEC can lead to undesirable side effects. so at first it is worth experimenting.

Ways to connect soundbar

There are several options for connecting the sound panel to the TV, computer. It is worth considering the simplest.

Through HDMI

This method first provides for support for support by the selected equipment of the return audio channel technology. HDMI ARC. Audio Return Channel. This is necessary to display the sound signal to the soundbar. As soon as the cable is connected, it is necessary to determine the sound of sound through the external device in the Audonables of TV, and not existing built.in speakers.

The advantage of this method is that the volume control process is carried out remotely, through the remote control from the TV

Optical or coaxial entrance

In the absence of a HDMI connector, you can use digital audiointees. Most of the sound systems are equipped with an optical and coaxial entrance. Also, by using the cable, a game console is established. By analogy with the above method, the technique is set up.

The main advantage of this connection option is support 5.1-channel sound

After connecting any possible sound sources to the TV, the transmission of the audio signal is performed through the existing sound panel integration.

Analog connector

This is an alternative solution for connecting a device to a technique. But here it must be borne in mind that it is not worth expecting a high.quality sound. Such connectors are represented as RCA Red and White Nests. It is possible to connect the sound panel to the TV only with the help of an adapter from RCA on Mini-Jack.

In diameter, the standard connector is 3.5 mm

Wireless connection

Thanks to the Bluetooth connection, there is no need to use wires. Almost all modern models support such a connection. An audio signal can be transmitted from TV, and from a mobile device, and from a tablet, laptop.

If a wireless connection for the user causes some difficulties, then NFC technology should be used

Ways to connect a sound panel to a computer

The good news is that you have several options. And the installation is quite simple. If you can find a good place for the sound panel itself (possibly under the monitor, if it is a sound panel in a “basic” style, or even hang under the table), then the connection to the computer will be easier.

If you want to get a little more power from your system, you can consider the possibility of adding a subwoofer to the sound panel (our leadership), but this is another topic that you should consider after connecting the sound panel.

1) AUX output (using a 3.5 mm connector)

This is, of course, the easiest and most common way to interact your computer with a sound panel. Most modern laptops still have an output nest AUX 3.5 mm (although some are going to use only USB-C connectors). And custom.made computer systems usually have a 3.5 mm port on the case, even if the sound card is not installed.

If your installation has a 3.5 mm connector, then the connection to the sound panel is as simple as laying a 3.5 mm cable between two devices. If you connect the computer and do not immediately hear the sound, make sure that the computer’s volume is increased, the playback device by default on your computer is configured to the sound panel, and the sound panel is configured to the input AUX.

If the only AUX cable that you have at hand is included with headphones, it is most likely a little shorter for your purposes. So, be sure that you can get many long and reliable cables 3.5 mm, for example, 26-foot audio cable Dukabel (on Amazon). And if your laptop has only a USB-C port, there are many options for a 3.5 mm USB-C cable (also on Amazon).

2) Bluetooth

If you yourself have assembled your computer, it is unlikely that it has a Bluetooth exit. Again, if you built the installation yourself, you already know this, because this means that you either bought or bought a Bluetooth card and did not install it on the motherboard.

But laptops currently have Bluetooth almost like a standard. It is difficult to find one who would not have a preinstalled Bluetooth, which “just works”.

Go to the Bluetooth settings for your computer, where you can see a list of devices that the computer can see by broadcasting the Bluetooth signal. Then put the sound panel into a mating mode and select it from the list.

At this stage, the sound panel should make a sound signal that it is connected, and if the computer does not direct the sound automatically there, you can click the symbol of the speaker in the lower right corner and make sure that the sound panel is selected as an audio output. option.

3) HDMI

If you first thought that you want to send a sound on the sound panel, not a video, you were not mistaken. But, as it turns out, HDMI is not only for a video signal. You can also use it to send somewhere only an audio channel.

This is really useful in such a situation when you probably still want to use the screen to which your computer is connected to view things. By installing the sound panel, just connect it to the computer via HDMI, and then open the sound settings on your computer.

Since your computer probably does not expect that you want to share things in this way, it may require a few clicks with a mouse to make sure that the sound goes to the sound panel. Do not be surprised if there is a sound option that does not refer to the speaker at all and is described simply as “HDMI”.

4) digital optical audio (“optical” or “SPDIF” cables)

This is the rarest option, but you really may have a SPDIF port or “optical output” on your computer. High.performance PC, which cost more than several thousand dollars, or non.standard devices with expensive sound cards, is more likely to have this option.

Nevertheless, the details here are the same as for the AUX OUT 3.5 mm version: just take an optical cable that can connect the sound panel to the computer, and connect them both. Check the computer audio settings again if you don’t hear anything at once.

In addition, if you have various problems with digital optics, you should check whether the sound card drivers are installed correctly.

Again, do not worry too much if you do not have enough long optical cable. There are many options on the Internet, such as the Kabeldirekt 20 FT (on Amazon) optical digital audio cable, which have not hit your budget too much on your budget.

How to connect a soundbar

To get a positive output result, it is recommended to familiarize yourself with the features of connecting the sound panel to the TV, computer in more detail. The process itself is quite simple.

How to connect a soundbar to a TV

The easiest way to connect the sound panel through a digital optical or coaxial cable. For the lack of such connectors, you should use analog stereo.cable. But you should not expect a high.class sound.

When the device is connected, it is necessary to check for the signal receipt

If there is no sound, then through the settings of the television receiver, make a shutdown of the built.in acoustics, and prescribe sound output to the external device.

Comment! It happens that you need to choose the type of signal. digital or analog.

How to connect a soundbar to a computer

First of all, you need to turn on the sound panel by pressing the power button. Then transfer to the interface mode, open the “center of action” and enable Bluetooth.

Types of soundbars

A huge assortment of systems from various brands is presented on the market. In every monophonic column there are broadband speakers. Thanks to the original, oblong body, placing the soundbar in the room is quite simple. The device can be determined on the wall under the TV by using a special holder.

Active panels, unlike passive, can be connected directly to the television receiver. It is worth considering that the latter requires the presence of a receiver for communication with the screen, which is included in an audio system of this type.

Depending on the functional features of the soundbaras are in the form:

Monocolones equipped with a built.in subwoofer. Such active devices stand out in an inexpensive cost. The audio system provides only the most necessary functions for work, use it to replace acoustics in TV. The advantage of such a device is the possibility of connecting to a computer, mobile phone, laptop.

Among the most popular devices are noted:

Soundbar Yamaha yas 108. The sound panel has 4 connection options: analog, via Bluetooth, HDMI, digital optical. The device is equipped with two 5.5 cm with irregularized diffusers, two 7.5 cm built-in subwoofers, and two 2.5 cm high-frequency dishes with domed diffusers. In addition, there is the possibility of an additional connection of an active subwoofer. The model has 120 W power. In the case of compatibility, Yamaha Yas 108 with a TV, you can use the remote control from the TV to control. You can place the device on the wall due to the existing holes on the back of the body like a keyhole.

How to connect a Bluetooth column to a laptop or computer?

Bluetooth column-a very popular device. Such portable acoustics can be connected to almost any mobile device. They are mainly connected to phones, or tablets. Since the sound that even makes an inexpensive portable column will be much better and louder compared to built.in speakers in the phone. Everything is clear with mobile devices, but what about laptops and computers. Is it possible to connect a Bluetooth column to a laptop or PC? After all, the sound through the dynamics built in a laptop is not much better, or even worse than on mobile devices.

Bluetooth column can be connected even to PC. As a rule, the speakers are connected to a stationary computer via cable. But if you have good wireless acoustics, then why not connect them via Bluetooth. True, there is one nuance there. There are built.in Bluetooth laptops, but on stationary computers (in system units) the built.in Bluetooth module is rare. Therefore, in most cases, we need a USB Bluetooth adapter to connect a wireless column to PC. How to choose it I wrote in this article. After the purchase, you need to connect and configure Bluetooth on the computer.

If you have a laptop, especially on Windows 10, then there Bluetooth should work without special settings, installation of drivers, etc. D. In extreme cases, you need to download the driver on Bluetooth from the site of the laptop manufacturer and install it. The connection process itself in Windows 10 and Windows 7 is slightly different. As in Windows 8. The easiest way, of course, connect a Bluetooth column in Windows 10. There, this process was made simple and understandable. We also consider the connection process using Windows 7. Sometimes, after connection, you still need to configure the sound output precisely on a wireless speaker.

As for the wireless column itself, you can connect absolutely any: JBL, Beats, Logitech, Sven, Rapoo, Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth Speaker, Aspiring and others.

What is a soundbar

The soundbar is called a system of the type of monoblock, inside which satellites are hidden. The bass column, unlike separate systems, has a wireless integration for connecting. There are a lot of varieties of sound panels (as very often called soundbar), from the simplest 2.1, to systems with a “detailed” sound that can provide an unsurpassed sound quality.

Some computer owners consider the purchase of soundbar as an alternative to ordinary columns, to which, as a rule, you need to buy a sound card (and subsequently look for drivers on it). Compared to the sound card, for the installation of which it is necessary to disassemble the body of the system unit, the soundbar seems to be more preferable, because to connect it, you need to connect only a few wires and press the power button.

The soundbar will serve as an excellent acoustic addition in building a class cinema class system based on a system unit. Another argument in favor of the soundbar will be its compactness. The dimensions of the device allow you to place it on the table or place on a shelf. In any case, the acoustic system made in the monoblock form factor will not take up a lot of space, and the absence of wires (from the subwoofer) will help to arrange it in the most convenient way.

Features of connecting soundbar

During the connection of devices, you should pay attention to the following nuances:

• In most cases, the process of connecting the soundbar to the TV, the computer is carried out without any difficulties. But sometimes users face such a nuisance as poorly installed in the plug nests. To indicate this nuance will be a rumble that comes from the columns. This is due to the impossibility of high-quality sound signal due to the poor adjacent of the plug to the inside of the nest.
• Another nuisance that can happen when connecting soundbar is a violation of the sequence in the process of joining the wires, for example, green in pink. Often this arises either due to inattention, or with a hurry. There will be no unpleasant signals, on the contrary, the device will “be silent”. To correct this situation, it is necessary to double.check if the wires coincide on the colors, whether the plug is good in the nest.
• As a rule, the soundbar connected to the TV or computer is able to function normally for a long time. But when malfunctions in the operating system, the sound disappears. To resume the work of the soundbar, it is necessary to reload the system. Thanks to this technique, it will be possible to identify whether there is a cause in the hardware or not.
• The sound can also disappear when the electricity is turned off. To reload the system with working parameters, you must first turn it off, and then turn it on after a while (5-10 minutes).

What problems can arise when connecting

Which of the proposed methods is used to conjure the soundbar with a computer or laptop, in some cases some problems may occur during the connection. The most common of them are the following malfunctions.

During the connection via Bluetooth, the soundbar cannot connect to the adapter on the computer. The main reason why this happens is that PC is already connected to some other device-a phone, headphones or tablet. Fix this problem is very easy. It is necessary to disable the old connection in the Bluetooth settings of the Bluetooth.

If the devices are connected using the HDMI cable, then the cause of the problem may be the cable itself and the device. Often this may be due to the lack of drivers necessary for a video card. Therefore, you need to make sure of their presence. If the required software is not found, then it can be installed from the disk, and if there is no, download via the Internet. When all the drivers are installed, you must try to connect the device again. If the problem arises again, then it is necessary to make sure that the cable itself and its connectors must.
