HDMI Control function
NOTE
• When the sound bar is connected to a TV via HDMI cable, confirm that the TV’s settings are properly configured as follows:
-The TV’s HDMI Control function is enabled.
-The audio output is not set to the TV speakers.
• Connect AV devices, such as BD/DVD players and set top boxes, to the TV’s HDMI input jacks.
When the sound bar is connected to the HDMI input jack
compatible with Audio Return Channel (labeled as “eARC” or
“ARC”) on a TV via an HDMI cable, control signals are
transmitted from the TV to the sound bar.
This will enable you to use the HDMI Control function to control
the sound bar using the TV’s remote control. Also, the TV audio
signal is transmitted to the sound bar via the HDMI cable.
Therefore, the sound bar can be connected to a TV using a
single HDMI cable.

Listening to audio with sound that matches the video or
music content (Sound mode)
A sound mode can be selected from among three sound modes that
produce surround-sound fields and one sound mode for stereo
playback. This function is STANDARD by default.
STEREO
This sound mode provides stereo playback. This sound mode
is best suited for music playback.
STANDARD
This sound mode provides surround playback that is best
suited for TV programs such as sports broadcasts. It
emphasizes human voices and makes them easier to hear,
while creating a sense of presence.
MOVIE
This sound mode provides surround playback that is best
suited for movies. It creates a sound space that seems to
envelop your body.
GAME
This sound mode provides surround playback that is best
suited for video games. Accurate localization of individual
sound effects provides a highly immersive gaming experience.
bPlaying back human voices clearly (CLEAR VOICE)
The human voices within the audio can be heard more easily when
the Clear Voice function is enabled. The function is recommended
for playback at a low volume and for movies or dramas that use a lot
of background music and sound effects.
Press CLEAR VOICE to enable or disable this function.
cEnjoying rich bass sound (BASS EXT)

Bluetooth devices to be played, stop playback on the currently playing
device and then start playback on the other.
By installing the free dedicated app “
SoundBarRemote
”
on a smartphone, the sound bar can also be controlled

sound bar while checking the sound bar settings
currently applied, such as sound mode and volume
adjustment of each frequency range (tone control), via
the app’s screen.
Search for “SoundBarRemote” on the App Store or
Google Play and install it on the smartphone.
For details on the app, see the description of the app on
the App Store or Google Play.

smartphone as follows:
- Enable the Bluetooth function.
- For devices using the Android 11 OS or earlier, configure the settings to
allow location information to be obtained.
The Sound Bar Remote app uses location information from the Android
device only to detect the sound bar. The acquired location information will
not be used for any other purpose.
- For devices using the Android 12 OS or later, configure the settings to allow
the use of nearby devices.
• This sound bar is only compatible with the Sound Bar Remote app. The
sound bar cannot be controlled using other apps (such as Sound Bar
Controller).
