TV Speaker Connection Guide

This document provides instructions for connecting speakers to a TV in three different ways from basic to best quality. The basic method uses analog audio outputs from the TV to the speakers. A better method uses an optical digital output from the TV to the speakers for better sound quality. The best method uses HDMI ARC, which provides the best sound quality and allows the TV remote to control speaker volume. It then provides steps for setting up and using HDMI ARC to pass audio from the TV to the speakers.
