Basic hookup

jbrich

Why can’t I connect my Polk S2 sound bar to my Samsung QLED 4K using the hdmi cable? Although it worked fine with my old tv, there is an eARC port on the tv and an ARC port on the sound bar and once connected, there is no sound. Help!

I have Rt 20p speakers how to wire subwoofers to receiver 7.1 Denon are what is the best way to use these speakers ! And wiring configuration ?

SeleniumFalcon

Usually the best connection method is to leave the binding post jumper plates, on the rear of the speakers, attached to the upper and lower binding posts. Then run right and left speaker wires from the receiver to either the upper or lower set of binding posts. This avoids double filtering from using the receiver's sub out connection.

I am trying to hook two back speakers, where does the speakers wires go? One end goes to speaker that I am adding and the end goes to _____? other speakers or to the A or B on my amp?

Hi @Lawnguy54,
Is this a multi-channel surround sound system or a two channel stereo system with some extra speakers you want to connect?

Lawnguy54

I am sure it's a two channel, and I do want to hook up more speakers. I like to know were to hook up the other two wires?

SeleniumFalcon

I would recommend connecting the secondary pair of speaker to the "B" channel connections and your main speakers to the "A" speakers. Keep in mind if you prefer playing your system at relatively high volumes (someone standing beside you would have to raise their voice to be heard) then operating the "A+B" at the same time will cause your receiver to work fairly hard. If you tend to play at more moderate volumes then less effort will be required when playing both pairs.

Polk soundbar speakers are not working w my new TCL 55" TV. They worked beautifully w previous TCL. TCL customer service rep says my new TV IS soundbar compatible. The soundbar remote does cause bar lights to + and - ..be visible. But no sound from wall mounted wired speakers. Any suggestions ? Would appreciate.
