Setup Guide

1. Place the sound bar

For the best listening experience, place the sound bar centered under your TV and flush with the front edge of your cabinet.

The sound bar can also be mounted on a wall. Refer to the included wall mount template for details.

For additional wall mounting assistance, refer to the online Owner's Manual or consult with your local Denon dealer or professional installer.

Diagram Description: A sound bar is shown placed horizontally below a television. An inset diagram shows a wall with a mounting bracket and the sound bar being attached.

2. Place the subwoofer

Place the subwoofer on the floor near the sound bar.

Diagram Description: A sound bar is shown placed below a TV, with a cube-shaped subwoofer positioned to the right of the TV stand.

3. Connect the sound bar to your TV

Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the port labeled "eARC" or "ARC" on your TV.
Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to the port marked "TV (HDMI eARC/ARC)" on your sound bar.

Diagram Description: A close-up view of the rear panel of a sound bar shows an HDMI port labeled "HDMI IN (eARC/ARC)". A similar view of a TV's rear panel shows an HDMI port labeled "HDMI INPUT (eARC/ARC)". An HDMI cable is shown connecting these two ports.

If the TV does not have an HDMI labeled "eARC or ARC", connect the sound bar to the TV using the optical cable. Please note that an optical connection does not support Dolby Atmos.

4. Connect the power cords to a wall outlet

Connect the included power cords to the sound bar and the subwoofer, and insert the plugs into an outlet.

Turn on the sound bar. The light on the back of the subwoofer turns solid green, indicating the subwoofer is paired with the sound bar.

Diagram Description: Two power cords are shown. One connects to the back of the sound bar, and the other connects to the back of the subwoofer. Both cords then plug into a wall outlet labeled "To household power outlet (AC 230 V, 50/60 Hz)".

5. Setup is now complete!

Turn on your TV and verify that you hear sound playing from the sound bar.

If you hear an echo or audio coming from the TV's internal speakers, make sure the TV speakers are switched off in the TV settings menu. Refer to the TV user manual for guidance.
