I have a soundbar paired via Bluetooth. The problem I have is that every time I power up the TV, I have to manually connect the soundbar to hear through it. Is there a way to set up the TV so that it automatically connects to the soundbar? null

Clifford - Bluetooth devices will not be remembered, as these are used on demand. When the TV turns off, the Bluetooth device will disconnect, and the TV won’t reconnect automatically unless you choose to pair the device again. For the best connectivity and sound quality, we recommend using a wired connection (HDMI or Optical) rather than Bluetooth.
