||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No HDMI(arc). You have to use two remotes to watch shows. The sound was hollow using the digital optic cable. The TV speakers were far better. Tv is a Hisense 65” 4K. Returned and got TCL TS8212. Very happy with new TCL.

You can try manually optimizing your settings by pressing the SOUND MODE button on your remote, and then selecting the desired sound effect by choosing STANDARD, SURROUND SOUND, or BASS BOOST.
