SOLUTION
Use your TV's HDMI ARC port.
If your TV doesn't have an HDMI ARC port, use the optical cable to
connect the soundbar to your TV.
If your TV is connected to a cable or satellite box, connect the HDMI
cable from the soundbar to the cable or satellite box.
Connect to your TV using an audio converter and separate audio
cable, such as a coaxial, 3.5 mm, or analog audio cable (not
provided). The type of converter and cable you need depends on
the audio output ports available on your TV.
Plug the power cord into a different AC (mains) outlet.
Use the remote control to power on the soundbar (see page 20).
Unplug the power cords for the soundbar and optional bass module
or surround speakers, wait 30 seconds, and plug them firmly into a
live AC (mains) outlet.
