To connect your TCL TS8111 Soundbar to your TV, use an HDMI ARC cable. Connect one end to the HDMI ARC port on your TV and the other to the HDMI ARC port on the soundbar. Make sure the ARC feature is enabled in your TV's settings.
First, ensure the soundbar is powered on and the volume is turned up. Check the source input on the soundbar is correctly set to the device you are using. Verify all cable connections are secure and try restarting both the soundbar and the connected device.
To pair your smartphone, press the Bluetooth button on the soundbar or remote control to enter pairing mode. On your smartphone, enable Bluetooth and search for devices. Select 'TCL TS8111' from the list and pair the devices.
To mount the soundbar on the wall, use the included mounting kit. Locate studs in your wall to ensure a secure installation, and use a level to ensure the soundbar is straight. Follow the detailed instructions in the user manual for precise measurements and steps.
To perform a factory reset, press and hold the 'Power' and 'Volume Down' buttons on the soundbar simultaneously for about 10 seconds. The soundbar will power off and reset to its factory settings.
Ensure the remote control has working batteries and is within range of the soundbar. Check for obstructions between the remote and the soundbar’s IR sensor. If necessary, try replacing the batteries or resetting the remote.
Yes, you can connect the soundbar to a streaming device such as a Roku or Amazon Fire Stick via the HDMI ARC connection or optical audio input, depending on your device's available outputs.
To enhance bass performance, adjust the bass settings on the remote control or through the soundbar's settings menu. Position the soundbar closer to walls or in a corner to naturally amplify bass. Ensure any subwoofer, if used, is properly connected.
Regularly dust the soundbar with a soft, dry cloth to prevent dust build-up. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Check and secure all cables periodically to ensure they remain properly connected.
Check the TCL website for any available firmware updates for the TS8111. Download the update file to a USB drive, then connect the USB drive to the soundbar. Follow the instructions provided with the firmware download to complete the update process.
