Note
•
The full Dolby Atmos experience is only available when
the Soundbar is connected to the source via a HDMI
2.0 cable.
•
The Soundbar will still function when connected via
other methods (such as a Digital Optical cable) but
these are unable to support all of the Dolby features.
Given this, our recommendation is to connect via
HDMI, in order to ensure full Dolby support.
