Thanks for the info. I have an LG TV, with fire cube, ps5, yamaha soundbar, and 2 echo studios. TV and soundbar have ARC. Soundbar has 2 hdmi ports. I get sound from my echo studio speakers using fire cube. When I want to play my game sound only comes from soundbar. I'd there a way to hook everything to work together.

The optical option was just what I needed to know ! Thx a lot ! Would you say the Optical is the best option out of the three if we don't care about Atmos ? In terms of clarity I mean... (I intend to do a bit of console gaming on it...)

Cracking video, you answered a lot of questions I had for using a Echo Studio as a soundbar. One question I do have though... If the Eho studio was to one side of my TV and I used a TOSLink cable, does the Echo Studio still do its clever feature of fulfilling the room with 3D sound? What I mean is would I be hearing my TV sound coming from one side of the TV from the Echo or will the Echo Studio throw its sound around the room so it gives you that surround sound experience but via TOSlink and my TV?

How do I have the tv sound along with the echo dot. I want the sound from my tv and echo

I just bought the white one to pair with my 65" Omni TV, i can confirm that with a amazon tv any source will come through the speaker via the normal cinema setup. However in this mode the EQ control is disabled within the App and on TV which is a bit of an annoyance as i would like to reduce the bass level, only spatial on off toggle works. But overall the sound is good, connection via bluetooth makes the TV lag and unresponsive, i read that bluetooth messes with 5ghz wifi and causes issues streaming 4k content. 🙄

I have a Samsung smart tv, can I use the Samsung remote control to operate the volume on the echo studio eg, up and down, really informative video by the way, I`ve spent hours looking for info on the echo studio and your video answers 99% of the questions I have , appreciated.

Hello, all right, I need help I saw the full video and I couldn't find the answer ... I have echo studio and I have 2 echo plus, I would like to know if it is possible to connect echo studio as main and 2 echo plus as speakers ... but all of this is connected to the optical cable TV ... Today I can connect everything in groups (this is easy and simple) what I have achieved so far is ... creating a group with 2 echo plus, it works for music it has a speaker (right) and another (left) for music is perfect, but for tv the volume is very low ... even at maximum volume, the sound remains low via bluetooth ... you know what i can do? I was also able to connect the echo studio directly to the TV with the optical cable, it was very good, but I really wanted to connect everything on the TV and be like a home theater is possible, there are several doubts there, sorry

The only way to pair 2 echo speakers to a TV is wirelessly via a 4k fire stick or fire cube. You cannot mix and match echo's when you stereo pair or set up a home theatre. I.e. You are not able to pair an echo 3rd gen with and echo studio or echo 4th gen. You would need the following to create a decent home theatre set up using echo speakers. A 4k fire stick, the two echo plus speakers you already have and an echo subwoofer. These would all connect wirelessly to the fire stick.

@@UTILITARIANTVUK Hey I have Echo Studio + Echo Sub + Firestick TV 4K (Fire TV cube isn't promoted here in India by Amazon, so it's not available here)...paired them as home theatre they are sounding amazing for music n movies.But still I'm not getting tht Dolby Atmos option.U demonstrated Jack Ryan.But you didn't navigate to options menu while playing that and didn't show whether Dolby Atmos audio option is there to select! Would you like to do that please ? If you show me that "Dolby Atmos" option it's confirmation that Fire cube TV supports Dolby Atmos but Firestick 4K doesn't! So I can buy that Fire Cube TV somehow! Thanks, it's after watching your demo I bought Echo Studio,so requesting you to end my 'Dolby atmos' hunt!

can this be done with 2 echo dots

@@UTILITARIANTVUK Today I was messing around and was able to get my Hisense H8g 75, to work with the echo studio through Bluetooth only. I went to bed shortly after and will test later tonight, but sounded great. I tested a atmos test on KZread, but need to test more. I had to remove hisense account on alexa then reactivate it and worked. Will update.

So, just to be clear.... if I buy a Firestick and connect this Studio to it.... will it control all of the sound from my TV, or will it only work when I'm actively using my Firestick? For example, say I want to play my PS5.... the studio stops working as soon as I start playing my ps5? If so, this is a total waste of money imo.

like the features, setup was difficult for some of my devices (August Door lock, kzread.infoUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-dKeb4aB Bose speaker)... but all switches and outlets (5), thermostat, tankless water heater. Unfortunately all I can do is turn on/off Bose. It doesn't support volume or changing channels, but I believe that is due to the particular speaker I have.... Worth getting if you already have other devices to use it with... I don't sit around and ask Alexa questions much so that doesn't really matter to me....
