M20 linked to TV and wiim pro

[Wils81]

Sorry for the seemingly basic question, new to all of this. What is the best way to link my q acoustic m20 speakers to my TV and wiim pro. Would running optical from the TV to the wiim optical in and then optical out from wiim into the speakers suffice? Or would I need to use rca somewhere?

Also if a TV is linked to the WiFi, and TV linked to the speaker via optical, when using the Spotify app via the TV, are you likely to get similar quality as with using the wiim inbetween?

What you described should work perfectly, no RCA cables needed, just two optical ones. However you may run into lip sync issues with the TV connected this way.

What I would do is connect the WiiM via analogue RCA, and connect your TV via optical. Compare the sound to your suggested setup. If no difference, I would do it my way.

And yes if your TV has Spotify, then the M20 will play it.

Lastly get yourself a One For All universal remote, it's going to make your life a lot less painful.

TV do you have HDMI Arc - connect optical Hdmi Arc to Speakers

HDMI ARC is a two-way communication feature on newer TVs, simplifying audio setup for auxiliary speakers.
If you have an ARC port, you'll want to use it to connect speakers that also support ARC.


HDMI 1.4, HDMI has supported a specification known as HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) that offers two-way communication, similar to the HDMI control scheme specification HDMI-CEC. In the original HDMI standard, your TV could receive audio through HDMI, like when your Blu-ray player sends audio and video on the same cable—but it could not send audio out. HDMI ARC allows your TV to send audio out so, now, any audio generated by the built-in antenna tuner, smart TV apps like Netflix, or any other on-TV source, can be sent out to your surround sound system or sound bar.

The M20 speakers do not have a HDMI connection.
