devices

For audio playback through the soundbar, connect the soundbar 
with your TV through the supplied HDMI cable or an optical cable 

(sold separately). 

An  HDMI  connection  supports  digital  audio  and  video  with  a 
single connection. HDMI connectivity is the best option for your 

soundbar.

1. 

Connect the soundbar with the HDMI IN (ARC) connector on 
your TV by using the supplied HDMI cable.

• 

On your TV, check that HDMI-CEC and HDMI ARC have 
been enabled. Refer to the owner’s manual of your TV for 
more information.

2. 

Use an HDMI cable (V2.0 or later) to connect the soundbar 
with your digital device, such as a set-top box, DVD/Blu-ray 
player or game console.

• 

On your digital device, check that HDMI-CEC has been 
enabled. Refer to the owner’s manual of your digital 
device for more information.

• 

On your digital device, select “Bitstream” or “Raw data” 
in the audio output settings for the best Dolby Atmos 
experience.

3. 

To  play  audio  from  the  digital  device  connected  to  the 

soundbar, select 

HDMI

 on the remote control. 

NOTES:

 

If your TV does not support HDMI eARC, make sure that you 
connect your digital device through the HDMI IN connector on 
the soundbar instead of your TV. Otherwise, the Dolby Atmos 
information cannot pass through the HDMI (ARC) connectors from 
the TV to the soundbar.
