Set Up Alexa Home Theater on Your Fire TV Smart TV

To have audio from your TV and other HDMI sources (like a game console) play through your Echo speakers, set up Alexa Home Theater.

Alexa Home Theater isn't available on all Fire TV Smart TVs. To check if Alexa Home Theater is available on your Fire TV Smart TV:

  • Go to Settings from your Fire TV menu.
  • Select Display & Sounds.
  • If available, the Alexa Home Theater option appears in the menu.

Before you get started:

  • Turn on Wi-Fi on your Fire TV even if your device connects to the network with an Ethernet cable. Wi-Fi is required for this feature to work.
  • Make sure that your devices are in sync by enabling Alexa Anytime on your Fire TV. Enabling this setting may increase your TV's power consumption.
  • Devices in your speaker group should be in the same room as your TV and connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

To set up Alexa Home Theater on your Fire TV Smart TV:

  1. Go to Settings from your Fire TV menu.
  2. Select Display & Sounds.
  3. Select Alexa Home Theater.
  4. Select Create Alexa Home Theater.
  5. Select Begin Setup.
  6. When prompted, select up to two compatible Echo devices to be your speakers. You can also add an optional Echo Sub.
  7. Confirm the placement of the speakers.
  8. Select the option to continue.
When using Alexa Home Theater, audio from your TV plays through your Echo speakers instead of the speakers configured with your TV.
