Soundbar buying guide for immersive sound

What should we consider when buying a soundbar?

first of all you need to choose a soundbar with HDMI eARC with HDMI CEC.

This will guarantee you that The soundbar can be controlled both on/off and volume from the TV remote control., if the TV also has an HDMI CEC port

What is HDMI eARC?

HDMI enhanced audio return channel, if the TV supports it, will guarantee that the image is synchronized with the sound, that the sound from a console or a DVD Player will be heard in the soundbar

I do not advise you to buy a soundbar that only has an optical or digital connection.

What is HDMI CEC?

Differences between optical and HDMI ARC and eARC connection

HDMI consumer electronic control allows one device to control various controls of another device via the HDMI cable

For example, HDMI CEC allows you to use just your TV remote to control the soundbar's volume or power on and off. It will turn on and off with the TV, if the soundbar and TV support HDMI CEC.

*It should be noted that some equalizer or satellite adjustment commands will still be done from the soundbar's remote control. But you do these quite rarely.

What do Dolby Atmos and DTS:X mean?

These are multi-channel sound playback technologies.

Dolby ATMOS and DTS:X are the most advanced.

If the soundbar you've chosen has these two technologies, you'll be able to enjoy immersive sound, of course if both the streaming platform and the movie are encoded properly.
