1. Try going into your TV settings and find the setting to turn OFF internal speakers or select external speakers. Some TV's have this setting and if set to "Internal" may cause a delay in the soundbar switching sound output to itself. 2. If your soundbar is not specifically plugged into a port on the back of your TV labeled as "HDMI-ARC", you are just using an older HDMI port without the Optical cable. This might affect the time it takes to kick in. Add an optical cable and use the Bose app to set the setting to turn on the bar when an optical signal is present. 3. If you don't have an optical cable between the TV and soundbar and are using a port labeled HDMI-ARC on the back of your TV try moving the HDMI cable going to the soundbar to a standard HDMI port at the back of the TV and add an optical cable between the TV and soundbar. Again, use the Bose app to set the Soundbar to come on when the optical signal is present. This will reduce the delay in power up. 4. If you are using an HDMI-ARC port without an optical cable. ADD an optical cable between the TV and soundbar and again, use the Bose app to set the setting to turn on the bar when an optical signal is present. 5. It is also possible that the soundbar is coming on but is having trouble establishing a WIFI connection to the rear speakers or Subwoofer accessories. If you have any of these accessories, check to see what your WIFI signal strength is. It may be weak causing what appears to be a delay in turning on. Only way to fix that is to increase the signal strength by moving your router closer to your TV or vice versa, buying a better quality WIFI router or adding a WIFI signal booster in your house.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.IT shouldn't take 5 minutes, it takes about 30 seconds for me and when the orange light is on, I use the control and click on the TV icon and it comes on beautifully.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I had a similar problem when I first installed the soundbar. Everything worked OK when I programmed the soundbar into my UNIVERSAL REMOTE and everything starts at the same time. However, everything got upset when someone hit the SOUNDBAR REMOTE power button by accident.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This does not appear to be normal. I am using an HDMI cable from TV to soundbar and it takes approximately 10 seconds for the sound to come on. If you are using an optical cable I can not comment.
