What is DOLBY ATMOS®?
Dolby Atmos® transports you from the ordinary into the extraordinary with breathtaking, moving audio that fills your room and flows above and around you.
Dolby Atmos gives you amazing experience you have never heard before by overhead sound, and all the richness, clarity, and power of Dolby sound.
Using DOLBY ATMOS®:
DOLBY ATMOS is only available in HDMI IN and HDMI OUT (ARC) mode. For the details of the connection, please refer to “HDMI Connection”.

1. To use Dolby Atmos® in HDMI 1 /HDMI 2 / HDMI ARC mode, your TV has to support Dolby Atmos®.
2. Make sure that “No Encoding” is selected for bitstream in the digital audio output of the connected external device (e.g. Blu-ray DVD player, TV etc.).
3. While entering Dolby Atmos / Dolby Digital Plus format, the soundbar will show DOLBY ATMOS / DOLBY SURROUND.
4. Set the audio output sampling rate to 192 kHz if you can adjust tit.
   This sound bar supports 4K Pass through and DOLBY VISION. When you play a disc which supports 4K video signal, the signal can be delivered to your TV.

Note:

• The full Dolby Atmos experience is only available when the Soundbar is connected to the source via a HDMI 2.0 cable.
• The Soundbar will still function when connected via other methods (such as a Digital Optical cable) but these are unable to support all of the Dolby features. Given this, our recommendation is to connect via HDMI, in order to ensure full Dolby support.
