Other content sources include media streaming devices like Apple TV or Roku, game consoles like XBOX or Playstation, BlueRay or other DVD players, and even a computer.

One term I am going to use is “content source.” Fundamentally this refers to the source of content that you want to view on your TV. I will touch on some of the more common exceptions at the end so you will get an idea of some different configurations.īefore getting into the various TV audio configurations, let’s start with a couple of definitions or descriptions of what I am talking about. You should be able to find a configuration that will work extremely well with your system. However, there are some unique pieces of audio equipment that may provide alternate solutions, but I won’t be describing all those optional configurations. What I am going to describe covers well over 95% of how home entertainment systems are connected today. Here’s a primer on how to connect various types of audio systems to your TV-receivers or soundbars with wired or wireless speakers.

Flat screen TVs keep getting thinner and thinner, which creates a great aesthetic, but it does make getting really good sound to go along with that fantastic picture extremely difficult.
