Please make sure the left satellite speaker is connected to the left side of the main soundbar, and the right satellite speaker is connected to the right side of the main soundbar. “ Please note when connecting the satellites to the soundbar the detachable base  (Whats In The Box Ref.8) will need to be removed”

When the Satellites are connected to the soundbars left and right port they will charge the Satellite LED indicator will show red to indicate charging. Once the Satellites are detached from the soundbar the red light will disappear to indicate fully charged.

Please note:  For a wireless connection the distance from left & right satellite speaker to the soundbar must be within a 20 metre range of each other in order to be successfully connected.

When using the Satellite Speakers wirelessly please make sure that the attachable base  (Whats In The Box Ref.8) are attached to the bottom of the satellites.

The Soundbar and Satellite Speakers will wirelessly connect to each other for a surround sound experience. This allows you to place the satellite speakers within the left and right corners of the room to ensure that the sound from your TV fills the room.

To connect them together, please ensure that your soundbar is switched on for the initial setup. To do this, press the ‘POWER’ button on the unit or the ‘POWER’ button on the remote control. Make sure the satellite speaker is also switched on, using the power switch at the back of the unit.

What is 5.1 Bitstream?

5.1 Bitstream is the technical word for “Dolby Digital AC3 5.1 or DTS 5.1 Cinema sound”. Like PCM it is sent over a single wire by digital coax phono, optical or HDMI but instead of 2 channels like with PCM, there are 6 discreet channels in the stream. Left, right, centre, sub, surround left and surround right.

Dolby Digital

**For DOLBY DIGITAL to work you will need to switch your TV and DVD player to Bitstream (auto/cinema/surround/Dolby).

• To play Dolby Digital on the Everest, the Player or streaming product needs to be Dolby Digital capable.
• To use Dolby Digital in OPTICAL or HDMI ARC mode, your TV has to support Dolby Digital.
• The UHD(Ultra-High-Definition)/Blu-ray player or TV must have the Digital output settings set to Bitstream, often labelled with references to ‘Cinema surround’ or ‘Dolby’. “The UHD/Blue-Ray disc must be Dolby Atmos-enabled”.
• A crude but effective way to test if the Everest is processing Dolby Digital 5.1 bitstream is to listen to the audio coming from the surround speakers when playing a movie.  Most movies on streaming apps have Dolby Digital soundtracks. If when playing a movie there is a person speaking on the screen you should only hear the voice coming from the front bar. This is because the centre speakers in the bar are receiving discrete centre channel information.
