Gonna get a soundbar (with HDMI ports) soon. A quick question on connecting it to TV, should I;
1) all devices (HDMI) -> soundbar (via optical cable) -> TV, OR 2) all devices (HDMI) -> TV <- soundbar (via optical cable)? Which would be better option? |

QUOTE(SSJBen @ Jan 5 2016, 01:32 PM) If the soundbar you are going to buy has enough HDMI ports for all your devices, then just connect everything directly to it via HDMI. Then HDMI out to your TV. Keep it simple. Alright. Thanks for the info! If not, then devices > TV via HDMI > soundbar via optical. Understand that if you choose the 2nd option, your TV may only be able to send DD signals or worse, just 2.0 PCM. TVs that bitstream DD/DTS via optical are VERY rare.   |
