Product Manuals
A: If you TV does not have ARC port then you will have to use optical, as normal HDMI port does not support both way data transfer for audio to go out of it.
Q: Are the back speakers wireless?
A: Sort of. They are connected by wires to the subwoofer, which is not connected to the main unit.
A: This sound bar will pass through 4K and Dolby Vision, HDR10 formats.
A: You can use Atmos audio from a device directly connected to the sound bar. If you are passing audio from your television you would need to ensure the television can pass DD+ Atmos content.
Q: Does this soundbar have HDMI 2.2 to enable 4K pass through?
A: This sound bar does have 4K pass through.
A: I had the same issue connecting it to my LG. When it would get turned off and back on it wouldn’t play audio. I’d have to physically unplug the soundbar and plug it back in for it to work. I got it exchanged and that fixed it for awhile but this one seems to be doing it also now. I’d look for a different model, not worth the headache.
A: Your best sound source should ideally be connected directly to the soundbar HDMI in - video will feed thru HDMI OUT to the TV. All other HDMI sources can still go direct to the TV; audio for these sources will get to the soundbar thru the HDMI ARC. This assumes your TV supports HDMI ARC. (Would be labeled on the port usually HDMI 1). This is how I set it up on my Vizio 75-E1 with Apple TV directly into the soundbar. Otherwise use an optical cable to get audio from TV to the soundbar and leave your sources all connected to the TV. I am not sure if Atmos will feed thru this setup but I think so. (All of this is covered pretty clearly in the setup booklet)
Q: Can the soundbar accept and play Dolby Atmos audio from an HDMI ARC connection?
A: The sound bar will accept an HDMI ARC signal as long as the television is capable of sending a Dolby Atmos signal.
