Hi guys, so I’m putting together my first home theatre set-up and just picked up a Vizio P-series television. Due to the lackluster speakers, naturally I started shopping for a sound bar and came across the JBL Link Bar with the accompanying subwoofer. After reading the reviews, I understood that the sound was great but the Android tv elements left a lot to be desired however for $209 at Best Buy, I decided it was still better than anything at that price point. I’ve also decided that I’m going to pair it with an NVIDIA Shield as that seems to be a great product and I’m excited about a lot of the features.

My question is: what’s the best way to set all these devices up? I’ve considered Optical Audio from sound-bar to TV and plugging the shield directly into the TV hdmi but I’m concerned that I won’t be able to control the EQ settings for the sound-bar since they’re located within the on screen settings. Any suggestions?

TLDR: best way to set up an NVIDIA Shield to work with a JBL LinkBar
