Q: Denon DHT-S316 Slim Home Theater Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer Does it support DTS Play-Fi Speakers?

A: No, this bar is a non network unit. Our S516H is and supports HEOS. Our S716H can be paired with HEOS / Denon Home speakers to be used as Surrounds. None of our network based bars support Play Fi.

Q: One of my friend said; Polk Signa S2 & Denon DHT S316 are same, technically! Is it so?

A: Externally, they look quite similar. But have you ever heard that looks are often deceiving? Denon has a good reputation in the audio industry. The internals are way better than the cheap Polk. Best Buy even stopped me from buying the Polk because they had too many experiences where people would return them.

Q: How many watts is this soundbar.

A: Hi Steve, The DHT-S316 is an active device - in so much as it is a speaker with it's own proprietary amplifier built-in. Wattage ratings are only of any use when looking at which amplifiers might be compatible with any given speaker pair. The amplifier used for the speaker within the DHT-S316 was designed specifically to bring out the best in it. If a speaker is very sensitive, it may only need 3 or 4 watts to go very loud. If a speaker is insensitive, it might need 50 and 80 watts to go very loud. The reason we do not include the wattage rating here is because it doesn't really tell anybody anything if the speaker and the amplifier have already been correctly matched for performance and power. Optimum performance at realistic listening levels can be achieved with any amount of power depending on how demanding the speaker might prove to be.

Q: Can the Denon S316 connect with satellite speakers in other rooms via BlueTooth (i.e. Denon Home 150 or Denon Heos 1).

A: undefined

Q: Can I control the volume with my comcast remote?

A: undefined

Q: How many watts is the denon soundbar

A: It actually doesn't matter. Wattage only matters when you are looking at partnering an amplifier with separate speakers. This Soundbar is an amplifier and speakers all in one. If a wattage number was quoted it would not necessarily provide any volume or performance guarantees.

Q: what kind of dc power plugg does the dc soundbar need

A: It comes with a two prong power cord for the bass unit and a second one for the soundbar.

Q: Hi there, does its power fit for Denon AVR-1500H 7.2-channel home theater receiver with Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth®, Apple® AirPlay® 2, and Amazon Alexa compatibility? thanks a lot.

A: undefined

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Low-profile w/clear, crisp, detailed sound
The Denon 2.1-Channel Soundbar is a surprising powerhouse built into a simple pared-down setup. The design of it is plain and unassuming with its lightweight plastic housing and fabric mesh grill; it looks cheaper than it sounds, but don’t let that fool you. In back, there are physical three inputs, and you’re limited to a single HDMI ARC, optical, and AUX-in, though you can also connect wirelessly over Bluetooth. The subwoofer is also wireless and pairs to the soundbar automatically, so you can place it anywhere you want in the room, but you can’t connect the sound system to your home WiFi network for streaming from other network devices. The soundbar has a few physical button controls on top for power, changing the input, and volume adjustment, however, on the remote you can also adjust the bass volume level and choose from 3 EQ modes: movie, night, music, and/or 3 dialogue enhancer modes. The dialogue enhancement modes, while they do bring out dialogue in both TV programs and movies slightly, adds extra weight in the upper-mid ranges which can throw off the balance on music tracks, so I generally leave this setting ‘off’ or in mode 1. With the EQ modes, ‘movie’ tends to produce the most bass, ‘night’ the least, and ‘music’ mode falls somewhere in the middle with only slight, barely noticeable variations in the balance of the other ranges across the modes. For most TV and movie viewing, we leave the speaker in movie or music mode. The sound, by far, is the standout feature. It’s clean and crisp with a good balance across the ranges. The bass is present without being over pronounced, and with the wireless subwoofer you can turn it up for some hearty vibrations for music with heavy bass tracks and movies with lots of explosive scenes. Even at the highest volume there was little to no distortion in the audio. As for left/right separation, thanks to Denon's Virtual Surround sound simulation, there’s some, and generally you get a sense of sound moving from one side of the screen to the other. This lets you enjoy movies with Dolby Digital and DTS Decoding from Blu-ray, DVD, DVB and other surround encoded media to approximate a multi-channel surround sound experience. However, the sound stage is somewhat narrow, and it’s not as distinct and well-placed as it would be with a true 5.1 surround sound system. When adjusting the volume, since there is no LCD, the only feedback you get that it is working is a single flash of the tiny blue LED light in the front. When you hit the max volume it will blink 3 times quickly, but there’s no auditory tone to let you know you’re at the upper limit. However, when we’re using the soundbar with our projector, it’s usually located behind the viewer, so we can’t see the LED light for these visual cues; we just have to listen whether or not the volume sounds different. While the soundbar does support HDMI ARC so you can use your TV remote to control the volume, you’d be missing the other EQ functions of the Denon remote. Overall, this soundbar and subwoofer made a great combo for upgrading the sound quality over the built-in speakers of our TV and projector. They don’t take up a lot of space, and fill our small living room with impressively clear sound quite adequately.

Hearty Sound
This sound bar can keep up with the best of them. The Unboxing and set up is really easy. Read the directions and make sure to use the custom settings to get the best sound. The remote is small and can get lost so beware. The looks of this set are outdated but the good sound makes up for it. And of course don’t expect million dollar sound at 100% volume. This sound bar is more than enough for a bedroom and pretty good for a large living size space.
