CAUTION
•
When both the HDMI cable and optical cable are connected, the HDMI signal is received first.
• To connect the HDMI cable between the TV and Soundbar, be sure to connect the terminals marked ARC. Otherwise, the TV sound may not
be output.
• The recommended cable is a
Premium High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet
certified by HDMI.org.

3.
“
TV ARC
” appears in the display window of the Soundbar main unit and the Soundbar plays TV sound.
• When the TV sound is not output, press the
(Multi Function)
button at the top of the Soundbar or the
(Source)
button on the remote
control to select the “
D.IN
” mode. The screen displays “
D.IN
” and “
TV ARC
” in sequence, and TV sound is played.
• When connecting a TV that supports the eARC function, “
eARC
” appears on the display and the sound is heard.
• To connect with eARC, the eARC function in the TV menu should be set to On. Refer to the TV user manual for details on setting.
(e.g. Samsung TV : Home (
) → Menu → Settings ( ) → All Settings ( ) → Sound → Expert Settings → HDMI-eARC Mode (Auto))
• If “
TV ARC
” does not appear in the display window of the Soundbar main unit, confirm that the HDMI cable is connected to the correct port.
• Use the volume buttons on the TV’s remote control to change the volume on the Soundbar.
NOTE
• When you connect the TV that supports the HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) to the Soundbar with an HDMI cable, you can transmit the
digital video and audio data without connecting a separate optical cable.
• We recommend you use a coreless HDMI cable if possible. If you use a cored HDMI cable, use one whose diameter is less than 0.55 inches (14
mm).
• This function is not available if the HDMI cable does not support ARC.
• When the audio in a broadcast is encoded in Dolby Digital and the “Digital Output Audio Format” on your TV is set to PCM, we recommend that
you change the setting to Dolby Digital. When the setting on the TV is changed, you will experience better sound quality. (The TV menu may
use different words for Dolby Digital and PCM depending on the TV manufacturer.)
• The ARC/eARC protocols support Dolby Atmos.
• Make sure that the content supports Dolby Atmos®.
