1. Connect one end of an HDMI cable (not supplied) into the HDMI OUT (ARC) port of the sound bar. Connect the other end of the cable into your TV’s HDMI (ARC) port.
2. Press the mode button on the sound bar or remote control and change the sound bar to HDMI ARC mode.

AUX mode

1. Connect one end of an AUX cable into the AUX port of the sound bar. Connect the other end of the cable into the AUX port on your device (for example, TV, gaming console, or DVD player).
2. Press the mode button on the sound bar or remote control and change the sound bar to AUX mode. Sound from your device should now emit from the sound bar. Use the remote control/sound bar to adjust to make audio adjustments.

2. Connect another HDMI cable (not supplied) into the HDMI OUT port of your external device, then connect the other end into the HDMI IN port on the sound bar.
3. Switch on the external device and sound bar, then change the sound bar to HDMI IN mode.
4. Switch on the TV and change the audio source to the HDMI port the devices are connected to. The Tb V will now display visual from the external device, with the sound emitting from the sound bar.

3D mode

Using Dolby Atmos®

• Ensure the connected device and content supports Dolby Atmos®.
• Set the audio format on the connected device (for example, Blu-ray player, TV) to either ‘Bitstream’, Auto’, or ‘Bypass’ to skip the encoding process. This allows the soundbar to receive the non-decoded audio signa

Dolby Atmos® is only available in HDMI IN and HDMI ARC modes.
