Illustration of a person watching television on a wall-mounted device with musical notes and sound equipment (no text or symbols)

When the sound bar is connected to the HDMI input jack compatible with Audio Return Channel (labeled as "eARC" or "ARC") on a TV via an HDMI cable, control signals are transmitted from the TV to the sound bar.

This will enable you to use the HDMI Control function to control the sound bar using the TV's remote control. Also, the TV audio signal is transmitted to the sound bar via the HDMI cable.

Therefore, the sound bar can be connected to a TV using a single HDMI cable.

• The TV's HDMI Control function is enabled.
• The audio output is not set to the TV speakers.
• Connect AV devices, such as BD/DVD players and set top boxes, to the TV's HDMI input jacks.

- 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).
