Connecting a TV

Connect a TV to the sound bar. Select the connection procedure according to the function to be used. The differences depending on the connection procedure are as follows:

Function and connection procedure

	HDMI Control function1)	Jack of TV to connect to	Connection procedure
Digital optical audio cable (included)	—	Digital optical audio output jack[2CT6]	“Connecting a TV using the digital optical audio cable (included)” (on the right)
HDMI cable (commercially available)	—	HDMI input jack (ARC compatible2)	“Connecting a TV using an HDMI cable (commercially available)” (on the next page)

1) The HDMI Control function allows the sound bar to be controlled using the TV's remote control. The following functions can be controlled using the TV's remote control:
- Turn the power on and off Both the TV and the sound bar turn on/off at the same time.
- Volume adjustment The sound bar's volume can be adjusted when the TV's audio output is set to the sound bar.
2) When connecting to an HDMI input jack not compatible with ARC, connect with both an HDMI cable and a digital optical audio cable.

NOTE

- The type and quality of the TV audio signal transmitted by either the digital optical audio cable or the HDMI cable is the same.

Connecting a TV using the digital optical audio cable (included)

The TV's audio signal is transmitted to the sound bar when the sound bar is connected to a TV using the included digital optical audio cable. The HDMI Control function that controls the sound bar using a TV's remote control cannot be used.

NOTE

- Connect AV devices (such as BD/DVD players and set top boxes) to the TV's HDMI input jacks.

Connecting a TV using an HDMI cable (commercially available)

Control signals are transmitted from the TV to the sound bar when the sound bar is connected to a TV using an HDMI cable (commercially available). This will enable you to use the HDMI Control function that controls the sound bar using the TV's remote control. If the HDMI cable is connected to the TV's HDMI input jack compatible with Audio Return Channel (labeled as "ARC"), the TV audio signal is also transmitted to the sound bar via the HDMI cable. Therefore, a TV can be connected to the sound bar using a single HDMI cable. When connecting to an HDMI input jack not compatible with ARC, also connect the included digital optical audio cable to transmit the TV audio signal to the sound bar.

Remote control

① Listening to audio with sound that matches the video or music content (Sound mode)

A sound mode can be selected from among three sound modes that produce surround-sound fields and one sound mode for stereo playback.

STEREO

This sound mode provides stereo playback. It is the sound mode best suited for music playback.

STANDARD

This sound mode provides surround playback that is best suited for TV programs such as sports broadcasts. It emphasizes human voices and makes them easier to hear, while creating a sense of presence.

3D MOVIE

This sound mode provides surround playback that is best suited for movies. It reproduces a three-dimensional sound field and creates a sound space that seems to envelop your body.

GAME

This sound mode provides surround playback that is best suited for video games. Accurate localization of individual sound effects provides a highly immersive gaming experience.

②Playing back human voices clearly (CLEAR VOICE)

The human voices within the audio can be heard more easily when the Clear Voice function is enabled. The function is recommended for playback at a low volume and for movies or dramas that use a lot of background music and sound effects.

Press CLEAR VOICE to enable or disable this function.

③Enjoying rich bass sound (BASS EXT)

The bass sound is enhanced and becomes richer when the Bass Extension function is enabled.

Press BASS EXT to enable or disable this function.

NOTE

The default settings are as follows:

Sound mode: STANDARD

CLEAR VOICE: Disabled

BASS EXT: Enabled

Listening to audio from a Bluetooth® device

Audio content from a Bluetooth device (such as a smartphone) can be played through the sound bar.

1 Press BLUETOOTH on the remote control to switch the input source to Bluetooth.
2 On the Bluetooth device, enable the Bluetooth function.

A list of Bluetooth devices that can be connected is displayed on the screen of the Bluetooth device.

Controlling the sound bar via the smartphone app

By installing the free dedicated app "Sound Bar Remote" on a smartphone, the sound bar can also be controlled from that smartphone. The app allows you to control the sound bar while checking the sound bar settings currently applied, such as sound mode, via the app's screen.

Search for "Sound Bar Remote" on the App Store or Google Play and install it on the smartphone.

For details on the app, see the description of the app on the App Store or Google Play.

NOTE

• To control the sound bar using the app, configure the settings on your smartphone as follows:
• Enable the Bluetooth function.
• For devices using the Android 11 OS or earlier, configure the settings to allow location information to be obtained. The Sound Bar Remote app uses location information from the Android device only to detect the sound bar. The acquired location information will not be used for any other purpose.
• For devices using the Android 12 OS or later, configure the settings to allow the use of nearby devices.
• This sound bar is only compatible with the Sound Bar Remote app. The sound bar cannot be controlled using other apps (such as Sound Bar Controller).
