Bluesound Node help

I purchased a nice current model node here a while back with HDMI input on it. I have Sony TV only two years old with ARC and also eARC on it for the HDMI. I can not figure it out, wont work when I use it. I get good sound with another DAC using toslink from the Sony but nothing with the Node. In fact, I am struggling a lot with the Node. I can not get it to do what it does best and work flawlessly with my phone. I installed the app but it does not always sync or turn on at all. I can only use the bluetooth to get it to work. Is there a website or manual or help out there. I may have to just sell it. Is nice unit and has potential I just know it. Can someone help?

The Node and your phone or Tablet need to be on the same network.  If you are using a WiFi repeater make sure they are both on the same network

The adapter is a Toslink Female to 3.5 mm. The Nodes input is 3.5 mm like a mini headphone jack

I will get working on it and order the adapter. It looks like the website support will be a big help. It sure is not like hooking up old fashioned receivers and all analogue components which I am used to doing. Thank you!

Fwiw I used to own Bluesound and found its operation to frequently be counterintuitive.  My Cambridge Audio streamer is much easier to use

Bluesound is one of the few streaming product companies that fully support the product. I have had dealings with them on different connectivity questions and have always got the correct answer and issues solved. It’s not always plug and play, because frankly it does so much.
