Connecting the TV that supports HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel)
CAUTION
• When using an HDMI to Micro HDMI cable, take caution not to break the cable terminal.
• When the HDMI cable is connected, the HDMI signal is received first.
• To connect the HDMI cable between the TV and Soundbar, be sure to connect the terminals marked ARC. Otherwise, the TV sound may not
be output.
• The recommended cable is an HDMI cable certified by HDMI.org.

• When the sound is not output, check the HDMI cable connection again.
• Use the volume buttons on the TV's remote control to change the volume on the Soundbar.
NOTE
• We recommend you use a coreless HDMI cable if possible. If you use a cored HDMI cable, use one whose diameter is less than 0.55 inches
(14 mm).
• This function is not available if the HDMI cable does not support ARC.
• When the audio in a broadcast is encoded in Dolby Digital and the "Digital Output Audio Format" on your TV is set to PCM, we recommend that
you change the setting to Dolby Digital. When the setting on the TV is changed, you will experience better sound quality. (The TV menu may
use different words for Dolby Digital and PCM depending on the TV manufacturer.)
