How to Connect Vizio Soundbar to Roku TV
Step 1: Choose a Setting
The first thing you need to do is choose which setting you’ll connect your sound bar and TV. Most TVs have multiple options, including TV Speaker, External Speakers, or something along those lines.
Step 2: Connect HDMI Cable to Soundbar and your Roku device
Connect one end of an HDMI cable into a port on your sound bar and connect another end of an HDMI cable into a port on your Tv device. Connect an optical audio cable (included with your sound bar) into a port on each device if you want to hear surround sound or if your Roku streaming player is not capable of playing 5.1 channels over digital video connection (HDMI). Optical cables are also known as TOSLINK cables.
Step 3: Connecting your sound bar wirelessly via Bluetooth is easy
With your sound bar powered on, press and hold down the Bluetooth button on your remote for two seconds until you see a blue light appear in front of it.
Step 4: Connecting a Vizio Soundbar with a Roku TV Device
When connecting your sound bar, you should take a few precautions for better results. A dedicated HDMI cable should be used for a better-quality picture and audio. Do not use an HDMI extension cable as it may not work well. Connect an optical audio cord from your sound bar’s optical in port to your TV’s optical out port.
Step 5: Use your voice to control content
Once your devices are paired, use your voice to control content. Simply say what you want to watch and enjoy hands-free control of over 200 streaming channels.
Step 6: Connect HDMI Cable between your Soundbar and Roku TV
You can also make use of an optical cable or RCA audio cables if your devices do not support HDMI ports.
Step 7: Choose Wi-Fi Connection
If you want your new sound bar system to connect to your network via a wireless connection, select Wi-Fi. To begin, press and hold the Setup button on your remote until the LED indicators blink. Select Wireless, enter a Network Name (SSID) then enter a Password. The SSID and Password are usually printed on a label located inside of your router or gateway.
