• Before wall mounting, make sure the wall can
support the weight of your soundbar.
• Before wall mounting, you need not remove the
rubber feet at the bottom of the soundbar,
otherwise the rubber feet cannot be �xed back.
• Depending on the type of wall mounting, make
sure that you use screws of a suitable length and
diameter.
• Please check whether the USB port on the back of
the soundbar is connected to a USB device. If it is
found that the connected USB device affects the
wall-mount, you need to use another USB device
of the appropriate size.

each according to wall type) on the
wall.
2 Secure the dowels and screws in the
holes.
3 Attach the wall brackets (x2) into the
back of the unit.
4 Hang the soundbar on the fastening
screws.
• To prevent injury, this apparatus must be securely
attached to the �oor/wall in accordance with the
installation instructions.
• Suggested wall mounting height:≤ 1.5 meters.
WARNING !
The distance between the holes
are: 600mm / 23.62”
You can use the wall mount
template provided for helping the

Dolby Audio-Dolby Digital Plus gives you
a new surround listening experience. For
more information, please visit dolby.com
Use Dolby Audio-Dolby Digital Plus
Dolby Audio-Dolby Digital Plus is
available in HDMI-ARC mode. For the
details of the connection, please refer to
“Connect to HDMI ARC”.
1 To use Dolby Audio-Dolby Digital Plus
in HDMI-ARC mode, your TV has to
support Dolby Audio-Dolby Digital
Plus.
2 Make sure that “No Encoding” is
selected for bitstream in the digital
audio output of the connected
external device (e.g. Blu-ray DVD
player, TV etc.).
Your soundbar supports HDMI with audio
return channel (ARC). If your TV is HDMI
ARC compliant, you can hear the TV audio
through your soundbar by using a single
HDMI cable.
1 On your TV, turn on HDMI-CEC
operations. For details, see the TV user
manual
The HDMI ARC connector on the TV
might be labeled differently. For
details, see the TV user manual.
2 Using a High Speed HDMI cable,
connect the HDMI ARC connector on
your soundbar to the HDMI ARC
connector on the TV.
• For identi�cation and supply ratings, see the type
plate at the back or bottom of the product.
• Before you make or change any connections,
make sure that all devices are disconnected from
the power outlet.
• The Dolby Audio-Dolby Digital Plus experience is
only available when the soundbar is connected
to the HDMI-ARC source via a HDMI cable above
1.4.
• 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 Audio-Dolby Digital Plus features. Given
this, our recommendation is to connect via
HDMI, in order to ensure full Dolby Audio
support.
