• If the Remote Control is operated near other products which generate infrared rays, or if other remote control devices using infra-red rays are used near the unit, it may operate incorrectly. Conversely, the other products may operate incorrectly.

First-time use:

The unit has a pre-installed lithium CR2025 battery. Remove the protective tab to activate the remote control battery.

Replace the Remote Control Battery

The remote control requires a CR2025, 3V Lithium battery.

1 Use tools (such as coin batteries/coins) to catch the groove of the battery box cover and turn counter-clockwise to (unlock).

Precautions Concerning Batteries

• When the Remote Control is not to be used for a long time (more than a month), remove the battery from the Remote Control to prevent it from leaking.
• If the batteries leak, wipe away the leakage inside the battery compartment and replace the batteries with new ones.
• Do not use any batteries other than those specified.
• Do not heat or disassemble batteries.
• Never throw them in fire or water.
• Do not carry or store batteries with other metallic objects. Doing so could cause batteries to short circuit, leak or explode.
• Never recharge a battery unless it is confirmed to be a rechargeable type.

Placement

Place the subwoofer at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from your Soundbar, and ten centimeters away from the wall.
For best results, place your subwoofer as shown below.

3 Connect

This section helps you connect your Soundbar to a TV and other devices, and then set it up. For information about the basic connections of your Soundbar and accessories, see the quick start guide.

Note

Dolby Atmos®

Dolby Atmos gives you amazing experience you have never heard before by overhead sound, and all the richness, clarity, and power of Dolby sound.

For using Dolby Atmos®

Dolby Atmos® is available only in HDMI 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 / PCM format, the soundbar will show DOLBY ATMOS / DOLBY AUDIO / PCM AUDIO.

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.

Connect to HDMI Socket

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 instruction manual of your TV.

Option 1: eARC/ARC (Audio Return Channel)

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.

• The HDMI ARC connector on the TV might be labeled differently. For details, see the TV user manual.
2 Using a High Speed HDMI cable, connect the HDMI OUT (eARC/ARC)-TO TV connector on your Soundbar to the HDMI ARC connector on the TV.

Note

• Your TV must support the HDMI-CEC and ARC function. HDMI-CEC and ARC must be set to On.
• The setting method of HDMI-CEC and ARC may differ depending on the TV. For details about ARC function, please refer to your TV owner’s manual.
• Only HDMI 1.4 compatible cables can support the ARC function.

Option 2: Standard HDMI

If your TV is not HDMI ARC-compliant, connect your soundbar to the TV through a standard HDMI connection.

1 Use an HDMI cable (included) to connect the soundbar’s HDMI IN (1 or 2) socket to your external devices (e.g. games consoles, DVD players and blu ray).
2 Use an HDMI cable (included) to connect the soundbar’s HDMI OUT (eARC/ARC) socket to the TV’s HDMI IN socket.

Connect to Optical Socket

1 Using an optical cable, connect the OPTICAL connector on your Soundbar to the OPTICAL OUT connector on the TV or other device.
• The digital optical connector might be labeled SPDIF or SPDIF OUT.

Connect to AUX Socket

• Use a 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio cable (included) to connect the TV’s headphone socket to the AUX socket on the unit.

• Use a RCA to 3.5mm audio cable (not included) to connect the TV’s audio output sockets to the AUX socket on the unit.
