When SPDIF is selected, there's no sound, of course, but when you toggle back to TV Speaker, the sound will start coming from the TV Speaker, and only then will the volume controls will work.īut if you want to connect the Soundbar, you then have to go to Settings>System>HDMI-CEC, scroll down to HS215 and click on it. Use your mobile device to stream your favorite shows, movies, music, sports, games. So you then have to go to Settings>Sound>Speakers and toggle between TV Speaker and SPDIF. Chromecast technology comes built into select TVs and displays. What happens is, the TV starts OK but the volume controls don't work, although the sound appears to be coming from the Soundbar at a constant volume.

HOWEVER, the sound control panel on the TV doesn't always connect to the ARC output on start up. I have set the HDMI-CEC config panel for the HS215 to 'Auto-start', and when I power the TV up, the Soundbar powers up. Some of the issues with previous Hisense TVs have been smoothed out, and with the right settings this 65-inch set offers colourful and detailed images at an affordable price. An image that's too bright will appear washed out.

(They do all work off the TV remote, although the AppleTV will sometimes not show any screen image unless you also give it a poke with its own remote.) Conspiracy theorists will tell you that most image presets on your TV actually ruin the image, and that the only way to get a great picture is to for you to do. Brightness - find a dark movie and play around until you get good detail in the image, without dark areas looking grey. The Apple TV is connected to the 4K HDMI port, and the Soundbar to HDMI1.

My setup is simple - TV, AppleTV 4 and Soundbar. But I've bought the Hisense HS215 Soundbar, and am having few issues with configuration. I have a Hisense 43" TV and am generally very happy with it.
