“What is the best method by which to connect the soundbar? I understand the subwoofer connects wirelessly. I am trying to understand the best way to connect the soundbar and have read different things: (1) SoundConnect lets you connect it wirelessly to a Samsung TV. (I have the 75" J6300). Is this correct?; (2) Connect via HDMI; (3) Connect via an optic cable; or (4) Connect via HDMI ARC which as I understand cuts off the internal TV speakers so if I want both the internal speakers and the soundbar on I should not choose this method. Does connecting via HDMI and/or the optic cable leave on both the internal speakers and the soundbar? What is the overall best way to connect the soundbar? Thanks!”

HDMI-ARC is the best option for surround and volume control. Optical is the second best option, and analog is third. You would want to turn off the TV speakers if you send the audio to a receiver. Otherwise some echo or delay can occur. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you want to control it with a TV remote there is only 1 way to do it, SoundConnect (with optical you can't adjust the volume with TV remote, with HDMI-ARC it won't power up with a TV, have to power it up separately with a soundbar remote).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Best way to connect any sound system if it is available is with optical. That light losses no signal though I doubt that you can actually hear the difference both are good so it really is up to you. I have both the bedroom is connected by optical and my living room is HDMI
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Optical cable
