So, if you are facing the same situation, this is the right place to get the answers in a very simplified way.
Sometimes, wrong connectivity effort can damage the physical port or it can make than the speaker setup null. Therefore, if you find it difficult to connect the Edifier speaker to your smart TV, it is always better to know the procedure beforehand.
Wireless speakers can be many, but today I will exclusively talk about the Edifier speaker for its TV connectivity. So let’s get acquainted with the possible ways of speaker connectivity as I am going to shed light on the most authentic ways below.
Connecting Edifier speaker to a Bluetooth enabled TV
Speaker Bluetooth to TV connectivity is the first choice as most of us have music streaming on our phones. And playing it on the TV certainly brings more sound and freedom to navigate apps!
Fewer people, however, know how to connect to the TV in the first place. So, below I am talking about how you can connect your Edifier Bluetooth finder to smart TV. Fortunately, connecting wirelessly is a fairly simple process!
1. Turn on the speaker
This might sound like the obvious first step in turning on your Bluetooth Edifier, but it’s important. Before going into TV settings or anything else, it’s important to turn on the speaker so it’s ready to pair.
Make sure the speakers are turned on and fully charged so the connectivity won’t work. Don’t break in half. Another thing to keep in mind is to keep the Edifier speaker in range of your TV for proper connectivity.
The easiest way is to turn on the Edifier speaker and enable Bluetooth mode by pressing the BT button on the the remote control. You can also press the volume adjustment/volume input selector located on the back of the pen. Make sure the LED light is blue.
2. Open Settings and find the Edifier speaker
After turning on the Edifier Bluetooth speaker, now head to the settings menu on your TV. Open the menu and go to the audio devices section. Please scroll down and navigate to Bluetooth settings.
In Bluetooth settings, you will see Edifier speaker (such as EDIFIER R1280DB) select it. To activate Bluetooth, navigate to the menu and then go to settings. From there you will see the Network heading, click on it and tap on Bluetooth on the remote. In the TV menu, swipe the icon to the right that says “search for devices”.
3. Pair the Edifier speaker and play sound!
After selecting the speaker in the TV menu, pair it and save the settings. The Edifier Bluetooth speaker on the TV would appear by tapping the “search for devices” button. Touch and hold the speaker name (Edifier) for a few seconds until it connects.
However, Bluetooth speakers and devices that have Wi-Fi speaker surround sound settings ( also known as surround sound) and TV SoundConnect are not supported by this. Pairing Edifier Bluetooth speaker should instantly connect Edifier speaker to TV and you can listen to your favorite sound right away (after playing media).
Connect Edifier speaker with cable TV
Wired connection is always more reliable and more authentic compared to wireless connection. However, it has its own concerns. So if you want to connect your Edifier speaker to your TV using a cable, here’s what to do.
1. Grab the Cable
First, you need the 3.5mm audio jack on the TV and the RCA jack on one end of the speaker to make the connection. If your TV doesn’t have RCA jacks for audio output, it probably should have a headphone output port (3.5mm port).
2. Connect It
Connect the speaker connection cable that came with your Edifier speaker. To do this, carefully connect the gold wire to the red clamp and the silver wire to the black one.
Connecting the Edifier speaker to the TV with optical cable
Connecting the speaker using the optical cable the cable is faster and provides rich sound quality.
1. Press the volume selector
For wired optical cable connectivity, you must first connect the cable to the speaker. Press the volume adjustment or input selector button on the active speaker and press the “OPT” key with your remote control. The indicator light should come on red.
2. Connect the optical input and play music
Now connect the optical input of the active speaker to the audio source and use a fiber optic input cable for it. The moment you plug in the cable input, the speaker will be activated for audio output. Now play the audio files and music or stream your favorite show of your choice.
Connect the Edifier speaker to the TV with a coaxial cable
If you want optimal sound quality, using the coaxial cable to the speaker would be a smart move. This is similar to the aforementioned solution. To connect your Edifier speaker with this cable, here are the steps you need to follow;
1. Press the volume button
On the Edifier speaker, press the “Volume Adjustment/Input Selector” knob or press the “COX” key on the remote control. This should turn the light red.
2. Connect the cable
Now connect the coaxial input port on the (active) speaker to the audio source, i.e. the TV in this scenario, using the cable.
3 . Play Music
This is it. Now you can play the music to see if the coercion is ok. Play the audio files or music of your choice and the result should be positive!
Connect Edifier speakers to TV with an Auxiliary/RCA cable
To connect the speaker Edifier using AUX or RCA cable should follow these steps:
1. Press the Aux button
Hold down and press the AUX or Line in1/Line in2” button on the remote. You can also press the volume button or input selector knob. See what works best? A green light should come on.
2. Plug in the source and play the sound!
Now connect the audio source (which is the TV) to the aux cable or Line in1/Line in2 input on the back of the Edifier active speaker. Use a 3.5mm to RCA audio cable. After connection, play the music or sound you want.
Connect an Edifier speaker to a non-Bluetooth TV
Not all TVs have Bluetooth as a built-in feature. So if you have a TV without Bluetooth, what to do? Most VIZIO models come with Bluetooth LE which is sub-par to maintain unwavering wireless connectivity.
So what’s the solution? Well, you can simply consider adding the external Bluetooth, such as adding a Bluetooth transmitter that is efficient enough to connect via USB or optical 3.5mm jack.
1. Using Bluetooth Transmitter
To make the Bluetooth transmitter work, simply press the button on the transmitter to start pairing mode.
2. Press the button and pair it
After that, press the button on the Edifier speaker to make a seamless connection with the Bluetooth transmitter. After being activated, the speaker would let out the sound, unless the speaker (sound bars) is not compatible with the TV.
