Connections

Dolby Atmos

Dolby Atmos delivers an unparalleled audio experience, featuring overhead sound and the signature richness, clarity, and power of Dolby audio.

To listen to Dolby Atmos audio through your soundbar, you will need Dolby Atmos content delivered to your TV.

Dolby Atmos content is available via some broadcast services, streaming services or via external devices connected by HDMI e.g. a Dolby Atmos compatible games console or Blu-ray player.

For more information on Dolby Atmos content availability visit dolby.com.

Using Dolby Atmos

Dolby Atmos is available only on TV (HDMI) source. For the details of the connection, please refer to "HDMI eARC/ARC".

To experience Dolby Atmos through HDMI OUT (eARC/ARC), ensure your TV or source device HDMI eARC/ARC output is set to PASS THROUGH, AUTO, BITSTREAM or other equivalent mode. This setting is usually adjusted via the menu of your TV or source device.

Using eARC

The "e" in eARC stands for "enhanced". AV equipment with eARC HDMI sockets enjoy greater bandwidth and speed compared to regular ARC sockets. This allows a wider frequency range and uncompressed audio resulting in more detailed, rich and vibrant sound delivery. Using eARC HDMI ports and compatible cables also allows audio formats such as Dolby Atmos to be played at their full capacity. Your soundbar comes with a high-speed HDMI cable to take advantage of the extra bandwidth offered by eARC.

HDMI eARC/ARC

(Refer to 4 on page 3).

The eARC (enhanced Audio Return Channel) function allows you to send audio from your eARC/ARC- compliant TV to your sound bar through a single HDMI connection. To enjoy the eARC/ARC function, please ensure your TV is both HDMI-CEC and eARC/ARC compliant and set up accordingly. When correctly set up, you can use your TV remote control to adjust the volume output of the sound bar.

- Connect the included HDMI cable from the units HDMI OUT socket to the HDMI (eARC/ARC) socket on your eARC/ARC compliant TV.

TIPS:

• Your TV must support the HDMI-CEC and eARC/ARC function and this must be set to "ON" or "ACTIVE" in the TV settings menu.
• The setting method of HDMI-CEC and eARC/ARC may differ depending on the TV. For details about eARC/ARC function, please refer to your TV manual.
• Only HDMI cables of version 2.0 or higher can support the eARC/ARC function.
