Q: Since this has top speakers how low below tv should it be mounted
A: My tv is on the wall on a fully articulated mount, with the Soundbar directly below it. The up firing speakers likely reflect some off the front of the tv. I still get some semblance of height effect (about what I expected from a 400 Soundbar). Don’t get me wrong, this is a great budget bar. Just set your Atmos expectations fairly low.
A: Hello. Yes - the DHT-S517 can connect to your mobile device's audio feed either with Bluetooth or with an analog audio cable.
Q: Does this soundbar work with the Denon Home 150 speakers ?
A: Hello, the Denon Home Soundbar 550 is compatible with the Denon Home speakers. With the Denon Home Soundbar 550, the Denon Home 150 speakers can be paired as wireless surround speakers or multi-zone speakers around your home. The speakers cannot be paired with the DHT-S517 soundbar.
A: Hi blindmelon711, Yes - the DHT-S517 does have 4K pass-through. HDCP 2.3 is also supported. The latest iteration of HDMI is Version 2.1, the connectivity of which the DHT-S517 is compatible.
Q: Can the sub be used without the sound bar to a demon h3800
A: Hello. The subwoofer which comes with the DHT-S517 works exclusively with the provided Soundbar, and is not compatible with the AVR-X3800H. For subwoofer use in the AVR-X3800H's Main Zone, it would need to be hard-wired to the subwoofer pre-out.
Q: What country is this made in?
A: Hello. The DHT-S517 is made in Vietnam.
Q: does it sound like you’re at the movies?
A: I have it connected to an 85 inch Sony and it has sounds like it has surround speakers, and the subwoofer is equal to any theatre.
Q: Can you add satellite speaker to the denon dht-s517?
A: Hello, additional speakers cannot be added to the Denon DHT-S517 soundbar. Please consider our Denon Home Soundbar 550 for the ability to add wireless rear speakers.

i LOVE this soundbar! I have tried and heard dozens and dozens of all sorts of brands, sizes, quantities and prices, and this simply checked all the boxes across the board. Great, deep bass, fantastic. crisp highs and most importantly, rich and full mids. I really like that Denon has simplified the controls down. You've EQ presets, vocal booster levels and bass levels. Thats it! So simple yet puts you in control to fine tune. The soundbar looks real nice and a bit bigger than most others out there. The subwoofer is fairly compact and light for what you get. Passthrough has Dolby Vision capability so it's not the old, cheap hardware from other brands. I highly recommend the Denon to everyone who aims for high quality on a budget. Even if you're looking at $300 bars - spend a little extra for this mid-high end system and you won't be disappointed

Nice soundbar. Much better than the Samsung competition, and Denon has made high quality, reliable audio components for many years. Highly recommend!

I’m an audiophile and im satisfied. For this price, you’re not gonna get anything remotely close to this sound quality, including the Samsungs and Vizios.
