How Do Wireless Speakers Connect to a TV?

Many TVs come with built-in speakers that leave much to be desired in terms of sound. And wired speakers can often be bulky and take up a lot of room.

Thankfully, with a simple audio transmitter device, you can create a wireless signal that connects your TV to a set of Bluetooth speakers. You can also now do this with soundbars, which also provide highly-rated wireless surround sound. Additionally, you can learn how to connect surround sound to a TV.

    Step 2 – Connect Audio Devices
  2. Turn on the discoverability of your Bluetooth device(s).
  3. Navigate through the settings menu to finish the pairing process, fully connecting the Bluetooth speaker.
  4. Repeat this process if you have extra speakers or a pair of headphones that you want to pair.
    Step 3 – Test the Connection
  5. Find the best place to position your speakers and make sure that they are placed within range of the wireless transmitter and are serving you the best audio quality.
  6. Power on the TV and change the audio setting to achieve the best sound levels.
