Follow the instructions with your soundbar.

How do I get my system turned on and synced to my TV

Did Bruce’s answer help you, @TimE911 ? Or, if you need more help you need to be a bit more specific about your problem.

Been in contact with support, they couldn’t even help. Unable to sync to my tv at all and the system won’t stay powered up long enough to do anything. I have all speakers connected to each other and on my phone in the app. I’m unable to get a straight answer, just follow the instructions, like duh!

Why won’t it “stay powered up”? You seem to be having some strange issues. And how is it not in sync with your tv? Do you mean there’s a big delay between video and sound? How do you know if it won’t stay powered up? 
 

You need to give us a lot more info on how you’ve got the system configured, exactly what is going wrong, and what you’ve done to try to resolve it for us to try to help you.

System shows no lights on except for blinking like it’s trying to sync. I don’t have the arc system on my tv so I chose the HDMI connection but it still won’t connect to the tv. Everything has been updated and connected to my phone. Please keep asking me questions so I can give any information I can to keep getting help. Thank you!

Make sure the Arc is connected to the HDMI-ARC connection on the TV.  Then turn on CEC on the TV and switch the output to ARC/eARC.  Note:  Manufacturers often call CEC by different names, including:

  • Anynet+ (Samsung)
  • Aquos Link (Sharp)
  • BRAVIA Link and BRAVIA Sync (Sony)
  • HDMI-CEC (Hitachi)
  • CE-Link and Regza Link (Toshiba)
  • SimpLink (LG)
  • HDAVI Control
  • EZ-Sync
  • VIERA Link (Panasonic)
  • EasyLink (Philips),
  • Realink for HDMI (Mitsubishi).

I have a Hisense TV, so I guess my system won’t pair with it? I don’t have any of those names on my TV, it does show arc but I can’t get it to highlight it stays greyed out. Does Blue toothing have anything to do with this?

Are you using the HDMI cable that came with the Arc? 

And are you connecting that cable between the Arc and the HDMI-ARC (or HDMI-eARC) port on the TV (the Hisense is bound to have one). 

How did you set up your Arc when you connected it? Did you go to the app to “Add Speaker or Component” and then followed the instructions to connect your Arc to the TV?

(You don’t need to pair anything, you just needed to connect the HDMI cable to the correct TV port, Add Speaker, and follow the instructions.)

Yes I have used the HDMI that came with the arc, and I have 4 HDMI ports but none of them are labeled any kind of arc.

And when it connected it didn’t prompt me to do anything else.
