which soundbar has a crystal clear voice for movies?
because the current speakers i used which is edifier brand, the voice from the actor sounds like they're whispering and i had to increase the volume to hear what they said and suddenly bammmm!! sound effect blasting through our living room.

which model of edifier u r using? if ur satellite speaker is too small you will face this issue.

Are you able to change the equalizer setup of your tv? if you are able to change the level of the mid frequency. Boost it high a bit, it will improve the vocal inaudible issue.

looks fine. The soundbar will isolate the signal where audio will be processed and video (in some case audio also) will be pass to tv.
If u want to use the ARC function u need to identify which is the hdmi port that support ARC on your TV

Hi guys, a quick (and maybe dumb) question.

I have a Panasonic GX740 TV, a Samsung soundbar, and Nvidia Shield android TV box. What's the proper way to connect these devices with ARC?

1.
TV <--> soundbar via the ARC port
Nvidia Shield <--> TV via normal HMDI port

Or

2.
TV <--> soundbar via the ARC port
Nvidia Shield <--> soundbar via normal HDMI port

I think most people do #2 but my soundbar only has one additional HDMI input port on top of the ARC one, but if I add a game console next time it would be cumbersome to switch.

Wouldn't #1 work equally well? Although I've read that some TVs don't pass through the audio without further compressing it...I'm not sure where this is listed in my TV specs though.

yes 2 is always preferrable as it doesnt have to go thru TV and passthru your audio to soundbar again. like u said some tv doesnt allow directpassthru and will downgrade the codec before passing it to soundbar. eARC will have better support of high res audio passthru. But both of ur TV and soundbar need to support that
