How Do I Connect My LG Soundbar To My Hisense TV?

With most TV’s there are a few different ways to connect your LG Soundbar to your TV.  This can usually be done through Bluetooth, Wifi, or an optical connection.  However, with a Hisense TV, there is only one way to connect to your LG Soundbar.  That way is through an HDMI cable connection.  

HDMI cables usually come with your TV, the soundbar, or can be purchased separately.  HDMI cable connections are usually the most stable way to connect to your soundbar because it is hard-wired and will not have interference from other wireless connections in your immediate area.

Hard wired connections will almost always be more stable than Wifi or Bluetooth connections.  This is because they will not interfere with other connections that you or your neighbors might have around the house such as microwaves or wireless telephones.  The soundbar can also be connected via Bluetooth with other TV’s but not with a Hisense TV.

Some TV models also allow for an alternate connection method.  The user guide/manual of the TV and soundbar should be referenced for additional setup possibilities.

Thankfully, the LG Soundbar is compatible with most newer TV’s.  It is rare that it won’t work with your TV.  The best way to know if there is a compatibility issue is to check your TV’s user manual and/or the LG Soundbar’s manual to see which TV models work and which ones do not work with it.

If you want to connect your soundbar to an older TV, don’t lose hope, it still may be possible but may require an advanced setup which requires spending extra money on a few different cables.

Connecting a soundbar to an older TV that does not have Wifi or bluetooth capabilities could be done but would require the purchase of special adapters and cables in order for it to work.  This may not always be a possibility for TV’s without certain ports so make sure to check the ports on your TV to see which cables you might need in order to connect your soundbar to your older TV.
