Frequently Asked Questions - DHT-S416 DENON

How do I connect the soundbar to my TV?

Why is there no sound from the subwoofer?

Ensure the subwoofer's status LED is lit green. If not, press and hold the subwoofer's BAR SYNC button for 3 seconds, then on the soundbar press and hold Mute and Volume + for 5 seconds. Keep the subwoofer within 9 m of the soundbar and free from obstructions.

How do I pair my Bluetooth device?

Press the Bluetooth button on the soundbar or remote to switch to Bluetooth input. On your device, enable Bluetooth and select 'DHT-S416' from the list. The LED on the soundbar will turn solid blue when paired.

What is Chromecast built-in and how do I set it up?

Chromecast built-in lets you stream audio from apps over Wi-Fi. Download the Google Home app and follow the instructions to connect the soundbar to your Wi-Fi network. Then cast from any Chromecast-enabled app.

How can I control the soundbar with my TV remote?

If your TV supports HDMI-CEC, connect via HDMI and enable HDMI control on the TV. Otherwise, use the remote control learning function: press and hold the Input button on the soundbar for 3 seconds, then teach the soundbar the volume commands from your TV remote.

How do I reset the soundbar to factory settings?

How do I adjust the dialog volume?

Use the DIALOG ENHANCER buttons on the remote: LOW, MED, or HIGH. Each press cycles through levels. This increases the volume of dialogue without affecting overall volume.

Why does the sound cut out during Chromecast streaming?

Check your Wi-Fi connection and ensure the soundbar is within range. Reduce interference by moving the soundbar away from microwaves, cordless phones, and other electronics. If the issue persists, restart your router and the soundbar.
