Connecting the Sonos Sub to Your TV
Follow these steps to connect your Sonos Sub 4th Gen to your TV:

Connecting Sonos to Your TV
To ensure your TV audio routes through the Sonos system, use one of the following methods:
- Using an HDMI ARC port: Connect a high-speed HDMI cable from your TV’s HDMI ARC port to your Sonos Arc or Beam. This method provides high-quality audio and remote control integration.
- Using an optical audio adapter: If your TV lacks HDMI ARC, connect an optical cable from your TV’s optical output to the Sonos optical adapter, then connect the adapter to your Sonos speaker.
- Using a line-in connection: For compatible Sonos speakers, connect via a 3.5mm audio cable from your TV’s headphone or line-out jack to the speaker’s line-in port.
Configuring Your TV and Sonos System
Adjust your TV settings to output audio through the connected port. Enable ARC or optical output in your TV’s audio settings menu. In the Sonos app, verify that the Sub and other speakers are properly assigned and configured for surround sound.
Troubleshooting Tips
If you experience audio delay or connectivity issues, try restarting your devices, updating firmware, or repositioning your Sonos speakers closer to your TV. Consult the Sonos support website for detailed troubleshooting guides.
