Connecting a Bluetooth Speaker To TV With an AUX Cable
AUX cables are the same cables that are used to connect a Smart device, Phone, or Tablet to external speakers. The process is easier if you have all the materials.
Step 1: Locate the AUX ports on the TV
If you donโt know where the AUX ports are in your smart TV, then check the manual to be sure. Different TV models come with different features and formats and for that reason, they might vary.
Step 2: Connect one end of the AUX cable to the TV
One end of the TV should easily be connected to the AUX ports of the TV.
This is easy since you have already found the AUX ports.
The connection process is straightforward because the different ports are marked with different colors (Red, Yellow and Black).
Step 3: Connect the other end of the AUX cable to the Speaker
Equally, the speaker has a port to connect the cable. Finding this port on the speaker is straightforward. So, connect the other end of the cable directly to the speaker.
Step 4: Change the TV source
Now you can change the TV output to allow the TV to use external speakers and not the tiny inbuilt speakers.
Alternatives to connecting Bluetooth speaker to TV with AUX cable
If you cannot connect the Bluetooth speaker to your TV with an AUX cable, then there are several alternatives you have:
1. Using a Bluetooth adapter
Bluetooth adapters are more convenient and provide more flexibility. However, they are not as durable and reliable as AUX cables because they tend to disconnect over time. If you are looking for more freedom and flexibility, then go for it!
2. Using HDMI cable
HDMI cables allow you to connect your Bluetooth speaker to your TV. This is also a good way to connect but may present some challenges and constraints because whenever you want to change the song, you have to disconnect the HDMI cable.
3. Audio out cable
You can also use the audio out cables for a direct connection between the Bluetooth speaker and your TV. They provide good sound quality but come with similar limitations as HDMI cables.
The only advantage is that is more convenient than HDMI cables.
4. Using RCA Cable
RCA cables do not provide the same definition, quality, or clarity as AUX cables. However, you can use them to connect your TV to other devices such as a home theatre system.
These are the most popular alternatives and steps you can take in order to connect a Bluetooth speaker to a TV with an AUX cable.
