Smart TVs serve as the core device for modern home entertainment, providing us with rich audio-visual enjoyment. The emergence of Bluetooth speakers further enhances the audio quality of TVs, allowing us to enjoy better music and sound effects from films at home. Below, we will detail how to connect a smart TV to a Bluetooth speaker.
Before connecting a smart TV and a Bluetooth speaker, first confirm whether the smart TV supports Bluetooth functionality. Most modern smart TVs are equipped with Bluetooth, but some older models may not have this feature. You can check the user manual, visit the TV settings, or search for the TV model on the manufacturer’s website to confirm. Additionally, ensure that the Bluetooth speaker has sufficient power or is connected to a power source, and know how to put the speaker into pairing mode, usually by long-pressing a specific button.
- Xiaomi TV: Turn on Xiaomi TV, press the settings button on the remote, select “Settings” from the left menu, then select “General Settings”, and then select “Bluetooth”. After putting the Bluetooth speaker in pairing mode, select “Search Devices” on the TV, find the Bluetooth speaker, and click connect.
- LeTV Super TV: Find “Settings” on the “Apps” desktop or press the remote’s [Settings] key and select “System Settings”. After entering system settings, find the “Accessories” option, and the default option will be “Bluetooth”. At this point, put the Bluetooth speaker into pairing mode, select the Bluetooth speaker to connect, and it will show “Pairing…” until successful.
- Samsung Smart TV: Using the Samsung smart remote, select “More”—”Items”, click “Sound”—”Speaker Settings”, activate “SoundShare Settings”—select “Add New Device”, and use the remote’s “Function” key to select “TV”. The Samsung smart TV system will automatically recognize the Samsung wireless Bluetooth speaker, and a prompt will appear on the screen to confirm. However, note that Samsung TVs do not support Bluetooth connections with other brands.
