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.
