along the video signal. This allows the soundbar to
receive multi-channel encoded material.
Depending on your number of sources, the TV may
be used for switching some sources while the prima-
ry source devices may be directly connected to the
soundbar for guaranteed multi-channel sound. The
soundbar's HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) allows
video to pass from the soundbar to the television and
audio to pass from the television to the soundbar on
the same HDMI cable. If you're using your television
as the source, choose the soundbar's HDMI ARC input
to hear any sounds originating from your television.
Please note, not all telvisions are equipped with HDMI
Audio Return Channel technology.
A few important points to remember when connecting
your soundbar:
• HDMI or digital optical will provide the highest
audio fidelity when connecting to the soundbar.
• If your soundbar is not producing sound or
surround sound from your Blu-ray player, DVD
player, or other multi-channel audio capable
source, you may need to set the player's digital
audio output to "Bitstream" (also called "Raw",
"Direct Digital", or "High Bit Rate"). If "PCM" is
selected you'll lose the multi-channel encoded
sound. Some players only require you to turn
PCM off to configure for multi-channel encoded
sound. Please refer to your player's manual.
• In a setup where HDMI is used to connect your
audio/video source component(s) directly to your
television, you will likely need to run an additional
digital optical cable between the source compo-
nent and your soundbar. This extra connection will
allow for multi-channel encoded audio to reach the
soundbar. Many televisions that receive audio/
video source materials via HDMI do not pass
multi-channel encoding when the audio is passed
back out of the televisions digital optical output.
Instead, televisions often pass a 2-channel mix of
the sound, stripping out center, surround and sub-
woofer channels from the mix. This is not true for all
televisions manufactured today, but we have found
the many television on the market work this way.
Using an HDMI connection between the television
and soundbar will maximize the potential of suc-
cessfully passing a multi-channel encoded audio
signal from the television to the soundbar.
• Audio-only sources capable of only stereo output
(such a portable media player docks or CD play-
er) will often connect directly to the soundbar via
the analog input.

NETWORK CONNECTION

To stream audio to your soundbar via DTS Play-Fi or
Apple AirPlay, a LAN (local area network) connec-
tion is required. This connection can be established
using Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Refer to the DTS Play-Fi sec-
tion of this manual for setup and usage details.

SUBWOOFER CONNECTION

You may choose to employ a separate subwoofer
to reproduce the LFE (low frequency effects) chan-
nel information in multi-channel recordings and/
or reinforce bass performance of stereo recordings.
Any aftermarket home theater subwoofer can be
connected via the soundbar's "LFE Out" RCA con-
nection. We, of course, recommend using a superb
MartinLogan subwoofer.
Additionally, this soundbar integrates a built-in
subwoofer wireless transmitter and includes a sub-
woofer wireless receiver to simplify the connection
and placement of a subwoofer within your room.
No Subwoofer
For systems not using a separate subwoofer,
use the soundbar's menu system and choose
"Subwoofer > No Sub". This sets the soundbar to
reproduce the entire frequency range when play-
ing content.
