Q: QuestionSince this has top speakers how low below tv should it be mounted

Asked 3 years ago by Mounting.

• A:Answer 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.

Q: QuestionCan the sub be used without the sound bar to a demon h3800

Asked 1 year ago by Sub.

• A:Answer 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: QuestionJust bought the Denon Soundbar subwoofer combo set. Since I also have an AV receiver, do I hook the tv to the AV receiver and the run a Second HDMi from the TV down to the Soundbar?

Asked 2 years ago by 031155.

• A:Answer Hello. The Soundbar connects directly to the TV with either an HDMI (recommended) to the TV's ARC HDMI port, or with an optical cable or an analog cable. Soundbars are designed to be used instead of an AV receiver, rather than with an AV receiver.
