Method 2. Connecting Using An Optical Cable - Samsung HW-Q950T Full Manual

• To connect with eARC, the eARC function in the TV menu should be set to On. Refer to the TV
user manual for details on setting. (e.g. Samsung TV : Home (
Expert Settings → HDMI-eARC Mode (Auto))
• If "TV ARC" does not appear in the display window of the Soundbar main unit, confirm that the
HDMI cable is connected to the correct port.
• Use the volume buttons on the TV's remote control to change the volume on the Soundbar.
NOTES
• When you connect the TV that supports the HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) to the Soundbar
with an HDMI cable, you can transmit the digital video and audio data without connecting a
separate optical cable.
• We recommend you use a coreless HDMI cable if possible. If you use a cored HDMI cable, use one
whose diameter is less than 14 mm.
• This function is not available if the HDMI cable does not support ARC.
• When the audio in a broadcast is encoded in Dolby Digital and the "Digital Output Audio Format" on
your TV is set to PCM, we recommend that you change the setting to Dolby Digital. When the
setting on the TV is changed, you will experience better sound quality. (The TV menu may use
different words for Dolby Digital and PCM depending on the TV manufacturer.)

Pre-connection Checklist
• When both the HDMI cable and optical cable are connected, the HDMI signal is received first.
