Placement
Place the soundbar and subwoofer on a stable even surface.
Place the subwoofer at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from your soundbar, and 10
centimeters (4 inches) away from the wall. We recommend the front area of the
room in a way that the basses can freely flow to the sides.
Place the soundbar on a table underneath the TV.
Below is an example of the correct placement.
Connecting the soundbar
Before you make or change any connections, make sure that all devices are
disconnected from the power outlet.
6.1 Dolby Atmos®
Dolby Atmos® gives you immersive listening experience by delivering sound in
three dimensional space, and allthe richness, clarity, and power of Dolby
sound.
For more information, please visit dolby.com/technologies/dolby-
atmos
For using Dolby Atmos®
Dolby Atmos® is available only in HDMI mode.
For the details of the connection, please refer to “Connecting with HDMI”
chapter.
- To use Dolby Atmos® in HDMI 1 / HDMI 2 / HDMI ARC mode, your TV has to support Dolby Atmos®.
- Make sure that “No Encoding” is selected for bitstream in the digital audio output of the connected external device (e.g. Blu-ray, TV etc.).
- While entering Dolby Atmos / Dolby Digital / PCM format, the Soundbar will show DOLBY ATMOS / DOLBY AUDIO / PCM AUDIO / DOLBY SURROUND.
Note
The full Dolby Atmos® experience is only available when the Soundbar is
connected to the source via a High Speed HDMI cable.
Dolby formats appear on the front panel display only when the display function
is turned on. Press and hold to turn on / off the display function.
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.
6.2 Connecting with HDMI
Some 4K HDR TVs require the HDMI input or picture settings to be set for HDR
content reception. For further setup details on HDR display, please refer to
the operating instructions of your TV.

Your Soundbar supports HDMI with Audio Return Channel (eARC/ARC). If your TV
is HDMI ARC compliant, you can hear the TV audio through your Soundbar by
using a single HDMI cable.
-
On your TV, turn on HDMI-CEC operations.
-
Using a High Speed HDMI cable (included), connect the HDMI OUT (TV eARC/ARC) connector on your Soundbar to the HDMI ARC connector on the TV.
The HDMI ARC connector on the TV might be labeled differently. For details, see the TV user manual. -
“ARC” appears on the display of the soundbar and the soundbar plays the TV sound. When the TV sound is not output, press the (Source)

- Use an HDMI cable to connect the Soundbar’s HDMI OUT (TV eARC/ARC) connector to the TV’s HDMI IN connector.
Note
This connection option allows only playback of video/ audio from external
devices connected directly to the HDMI 1 or 2 inputs on the soundbar. If your
TV does not have an HDMI ARC connector and you wish to play sound from TV on
the soundbar, you will need to use alternative connection (e.g. Optical or
Analogue).
