Tv audio preset vs soundbar preset

[The clueless enthusiast]

Hi 

 

I recently bought a good soundbar (a sony ht-rt4) for my LG tv. Like many sound bars it has preset for movie, game, etc but my tv does as well (The tv is connected through a optical cable). 

 

Whats the conventional wisdom here? Is the tvs preset better to use or the sound bar?

 

Any other advice for getting the most out of this set up would also be appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance

See what sounds best. Also if the soundbar is on a surface try and bring it towards the edge of that surface a bit, this will help with comb filtering and getting rid of resonances and reflections.
