that allows you to cast music from Chromecast com-

Dolby Atmos®
Dolby Atmos® gives you immersive listening experi-
ence by delivering sound in three dimensional space,
and all the richness, clarity, and power of Dolby sound.
For more information, please visit dolby.com/tech-
nologies/dolby-atmos
For using Dolby Atmos®
Dolby Atmos® is available only in HDMI and eARC
mode.
For the details of the connection, please refer to "Con-
necting with HDMI" chapter.
1. To use Dolby Atmos® in HDMI ARC mode, your TV
has to support Dolby Atmos® and eARC.
2. Make sure that "No Encoding" or "Passtrough" is
selected for bitstream in the digital audio output
of the connected external device (e.g. Blu-ray, TV
etc.).
Note
The full Dolby Atmos® experience is only available
when the klang bar is connected to the source via a
High Speed HDMI cable. You can also use provided
cable.
Dolby formats appear on the front panel display only
when the display function is turned on. Press and hold
to turn on / off the display function.
The klang bar 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.
