otherwise be unable to output sound. Please refer to the user manual for your audio source.

9.3.1 "HDMI ARC" mode

HDMI (ARC Audio Return Channel) is an extension to the conventional HDMI connection which allows ARC channel audio signals to be

transmitted in both directions. In order to use this functionality, all the components used must be ARC-compliant.

Most modern TV sets, games consoles and digital receivers have an ARC output. Please refer to the user manual for the device to be connected.

If the audio transmission does not work, make sure that the HDMI cable and the connection on the source device are ARC-compliant. It is

possible that only specific connections on the source device are ARC-compliant.

How to connect the sound bar to a TV set is described below:

•

Using an HDMI(ARC)-compliant cable (C, supplied), connect the HDMI(ARC) jack (9) on the sound bar to an HDMI(ARC) output on the TV set. Set the

connected device to "PCM Stereo" or "Stereo 2.0".

•

Switch the sound bar on using the Standby button

•

Press the "HDMI (ARC)" button (13) to select the HDMI(ARC) input on the sound bar.

•

Switch the TV set on, the sound playback will start within a few seconds.

If your TV set supports the CEC protocol, the sound bar can be switched on and off using the TV remote control. If this is the case, the volume

can also be controlled via the TV remote control. See the user manual for the TV set.

9.3.2 "OPTICAL" mode
