8.3. Connecting equipment via HDMI (ARC)
You require an HDMI cable (see Figure, Variant D). The HDMI cable is supplied with
the Soundbar.
Set the volume on the audio device to a medium level. Then switch the device
off.
Insert the HDMI connector in the HDMI IN socket on your television.
Enable the ARC and CEC functions and switch the sound output to PCM on the
devices connected to the Soundbar. Comply with the operating instructions of
the equipment connected to the Soundbar.
If two devices are connected, using ARC means not only that audio signals are re-
ceived via HDMI, but that these signals can also be sent back along the same cable.
Using CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), all the devices connected via HDMI can
communicate with each other. This connection then means you can use the remote
control to adjust the volume on the television, or mute it.
ARC only works for devices that are HDMI ARC-enabled and have an
HDMI 1.4 cable (and higher).
9. Setting Up a Bluetooth Connection
Using Bluetooth, you can receive audio signals wirelessly from an external Blue-
tooth-enabled audio output device. Make sure the two devices are not more than 8
metres apart.
To connect a Bluetooth-enabled audio output device:
Switch the Soundbar on, either by pressing its
trol.
Then press the Source button on the Soundbar or the BT button on the remote
control until the operating display slowly flashes blue.
If the device is not already in search mode, press and hold down the PAIR button
on the remote control for approximately 3 seconds.
This switches the device to search mode. You hear the statement "PAIRED".
Now switch on the Bluetooth function on your audio output device, and enable
search mode, to synchronise both devices with each other.
You will find more information about the Bluetooth function on your au-
dio output device in its operating instructions.
