NOTES

• When you connect the TV that supports the HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) to the Soundbar with an HDMI cable, you can transmit the digital video and audio data without connecting a separate optical cable.

• We recommend you use a coreless HDMI cable if possible. If you use a cored HDMI cable, use one whose diameter is less than 14 mm.

• This function is not available if the HDMI cable does not support ARC.

• When the audio in a broadcast is encoded in Dolby Digital and the “Digital Output Audio Format ” on your TV is set to PCM, we recommend that you change the setting to Dolby Digital. When the setting on the TV is changed, you will experience better sound quality. (The TV menu may use different words for Dolby Digital and PCM depending on the TV manufacturer.)

Method 2. Connecting using an Optical Cable

Pre-connection Checklist

• When both the HDMI cable and optical cable are connected, the HDMI signal is received rst.
