STEREO This sound mode provides stereo playback. This sound mode is best suited for music playback.
STANDARD This sound mode provides surround playback that is best suited for TV programs such as sports broadcasts. It emphasizes the acoustic image of human voices and makes the voices easier to hear, while reproducing a wide sound field.
MOVIE This sound mode provides surround playback that is best suited for movies. It creates a sound space that seems to envelop your body.
GAME This sound mode provides surround playback that is best suited for video games. It accurately reproduces and emphasizes the localization of individual sound effects for a highly immersive gaming experience.
n Sound settings
The sound settings allow you to adjust the sound to better suit your preferences.
Clear Voice The human voices within the audio can be heard more easily without turning up volume when the Clear Voice function is enabled. The function is recommended for enjoying movies or dramas at a low volume, and for movies or dramas that use a lot of background music and sound effects.
Bass Extension The acoustic image of bass sound is enhanced when the Bass Extension function is enabled. It reproduces rich bass sound with strong presence by clarifying the acoustic image of bass sound without disturbing the balance of the overall sound.

NOTE
( Press INFO to see whether surround playback is selected. ( The sound bar uses the following technologies to achieve a full surround sound experience.
( Dolby Atmos: An object-based surround technology. Going beyond traditional channel-based approaches, it controls content audio as an assembly of many objects (a combination of audio information and information about sound location changes). This allows for more precise sound control and helps to reproduce sound that is more faithful to the intentions of content creators by taking advantage of the characteristics of the sound bar.

n Precautions for remote control batteries
WARNING
( The remote control included with this product contains a coin/button cell battery. Do not ingest the coin/button battery. Keep new and used batteries away from children. If the battery compartment does not close securely, keep it away from children. If the coin/button cell battery is swallowed, it can cause severe chemical burns and dissolve tissues inside the body in less than 2 hours, and can lead to death. If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical attention.
( Do not dispose of a battery in fire. Do not expose a battery to high temperatures, such as direct sunlight or a fire. Do not attempt to charge the battery installed in the included remote control. The battery could burst or leak, causing a fire or injury.
( Do not disassemble a battery. If the battery leaks, avoid contact with the leaked fluid. If the contents of the battery get on your hands or in your eyes, it can cause blindness or chemical burns. If the battery fluid should come in contact with your eyes, mouth, or skin, wash immediately with water and consult a doctor.
CAUTION
( Do not use a battery other than the specified one. Doing so may cause fire or burns, or result in fluid leakage that may cause skin inflammation.
( Always make sure the battery is inserted in conformity with the +/- polarity markings. Failure to do so might result in a fire, burns, or inflammation due to fluid leaks.
( When the battery runs out, or if the sound bar is not to be used for a long time, remove the battery from the remote control to prevent possible leakage of the battery fluid.
( Do not put in a pocket or bag, carry, or store batteries together with pieces of metal. The battery could short, burst, or leak, causing a fire or injury.
( When storing or discarding batteries, insulate the terminal area by applying tape, or some other protection. Mixing them with other batteries or metal objects can cause a fire, burns, or inflammation due to fluid.
When the battery runs out, the sound bar can no longer be controlled with the remote control. Replace the battery with a new one.
