Connected jbl bar 5.1 to hisense 65 p7 tv using hdmi arc outlet on tv and sound bar unfortunately no sound

What happens if you leave the sound bar ON and shut the TV off then on ?

Your sound bar can be connected to the UA40C500QF. Get an appropriate audio cable based on the sound bar. You'll either need a optical digital audio cable or an analog audio cable with a 3.5 mm plug on at least one side. (If your sound bar has an AUX input, then a 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm M/M audio cable is appropriate. Otherwise, you may need an RCA (M/M) to 3.5 mm audio cable or some sort of RCA to 3.5 mm adapter (F on one side, M on the other).) Connect this cable to the audio out on the TV (headphone or digital audio) and the appropriate audio in on the sound bar.

Set the sound bar source to the chosen input (Aux or Digital In (D.In on some systems). Next, set the TV to use External speakers. This is in the Audio sub-menu. The volume will now be controlled by the sound bar volume control.

You can still use the HDMI cable (HDMI out to any HDMI in on the TV) if you want to use the TV screen when changing the settings on the sound bar. Just change the TV source to that HDMI port with the Source button on the TV remote or on the TV (the left-most button on the front panel). Then change your source back to the video signal for the TV to view items connected to the other HDMI ports. If your sound bar has an HDMI input, you would similarly use set the TV to the sound input to watch that source.

I hope this helps. See the manual for the UA40C500Q for the details on setting the speakers to External speakers. The manual is available on the support page: https://www.samsung.com/au/support/model/UA40C5000QFXXY/ .

Hi, it's recommended than both have ARC HDMI ports, so you can control sound bar from TV too, but if this HDMI port is not available at TV, the optical or digital audio output can be used instead to get hi fidelity audio.

Yes it does support ARC to a compatible ARC receiver

There might be a setting on your cable box for audio output. Use the cable remote and look in the audio section of the settings menu and select HDMI output. Mine is under Audio Digital Output in the Audio/Video menu.

I suspect that the TV you have does not support the ARC function that the sound bar has. What you may have to do is use the Optical In from the sound bar to the TV and you should be good to go. You may have to change the TV's settings to use the Optical In though. So you should end up with the BluRay Player connected to the TV via an HDMI cable, the sound bar connected to the TV via the Optical In using a fiber optic cable. Hope this helps.

Arc ready is when there is electricity plugged into the TV,There is only one HDMI cable and that is the one you have. Cause all new TV's come with these cables.If you are using Av cables for the sound it will not work ,you must only use HDMI cable's.Cause some or most new TV's with HDMI dont like to use Av cables with HDMI,so if you havw something else that uses Av cables plug it out and sound will work.

Your TV does support Audio Return Channel (ARC). Try connecting your Bluray player to HDMI 2 and your sound bar to HDMI 1(ARC). You will need to make sure that VIERA link is turned on in the Setup menu of the TV.

For hdmi audio transfer, ur TV should have to hdmi arc enable option,
Or check with TV optical option,

If no more optical and hdmi arc option in ur TV, then no more options
U have to connect analogue only..
