To connect your Sony HT-XT2 to a TV, use an HDMI cable. Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI OUT port on the soundbar and the other end to the HDMI ARC port on your TV. Ensure the TV's HDMI input is set to the correct source.
First, check if the soundbar is properly connected to the TV and turned on. Ensure the correct input source is selected. Check the volume level and mute settings. If there's still no sound, try a factory reset by holding down the power button and input button simultaneously for a few seconds.

To perform a factory reset on the Sony HT-XT2, press and hold the power button and input button on the soundbar simultaneously for about 5 seconds until the display shows "RESET." This will restore the soundbar to its default settings.
Ensure that your router is in close proximity to the soundbar and that there are no obstructions blocking the signal. Check if other devices are experiencing similar issues. Restart both the router and the soundbar. Update the firmware of the soundbar if necessary.
Yes, the Sony HT-XT2 can be controlled with a universal remote. Make sure the remote is programmed using the correct codes for Sony audio devices. Refer to the universal remote's user manual for specific programming instructions.
