A video from your Sceptre TV is only as good as the quality of the sound that accompanies it. However, the setup of a soundbar — which unlocks audio that far exceeds what TV speakers can do — can be confusing and time-consuming. With the help of our experts, this guide will show you how to connect a soundbar to a Scepter TV easily.
How to Connect Soundbar to Sceptre TV
Different Connection Options for Sceptre TVs
Your Sceptre TV should offer a variety of connections with HDMI [1] being one of them. Our experts always advise opting for HDMI connection as it is the most stable and the easiest to set up. It also supports the highest quality audio relays.
To use HDMI connection, locate the HDMI port on the back of your soundbar and on the back of your Sceptre TV. Plug an end of the cable into each port and then use the remote control to change the audio source by pressing the “Source” button.
The next best option for quality audio is with the digital optical cable. While it may not be able to process 8K as HDMI can, it does support digital sound. To connect, locate the digital optical port on the back of both devices and plug in the cable securely.
If your Sceptre TV does not automatically detect this connection method, press “Source” on your remote control and switch the audio source.
Lastly, we have the RCA analog option. Analog cables are usually colored with the same color as the corresponding port on your devices, making it easy to identify which port to use. Once plugged in, switch the audio source by pressing the “Source” button on your remote.

Connecting Audio and Video Cables
As for how to connect a soundbar you prefer to a Sceptre TV with audio and video cables, you have the same three choices as we mentioned above — HDMI, digital optical and analog cables. Our experts suggest HDMI once more because you’ll only need a single cable for both audio and video if you have HDMI ARC.
The steps to connecting the cables are the same as above. Connect the cables into the right ports and switch the input source.
