Method 2: HDMI Hub Connection
Using Your TV as a hub
• Ensure to use an HDMI cable that can support the ARC function.
• HDMI-CEC will be called dierent names by dierent manufacturers – please refer to your owner’s
manual for details on setting up HDMI-CEC and ARC.
• While using an HDMI cable for ARC function, CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) provides
interoperability between the unit and various devices (e.g. TV). However, this unit is not guaranteed to
fully operate with all HDMI-CEC enabled devices. This is NOT a defect.
The ARC (Audio Return Channel) function allows sound to travel to and from your ARC-
compliant TV to your soundbar through a single HDMI connection. To enjoy the ARC
function, please ensure that your TV is both HDMI-CEC and ARC compliant and set up
accordingly. When correctly set up, the CEC feature allows you to adjust the volume output
(+/– and MUTE) of the soundbar with the TV remote control. When you switch your TV on/
o with your remote control, you soundbar will also be switched on/o. Be patient that it
might take a few seconds for your TV to tell your Soundbar to switch on or o.
Use this method to connect all your devices into your TV.
1. Connect an HDMI cable (not included) from your soundbar’s HDMI OUT (ARC) socket
to the HDMI (ARC) socket on your ARC-compliant TV.
2. After connection, press
button on the unit or on the remote control to switch the unit
on.
3. Press
Source button on the unit or on the remote control repeatedly to select ARC
to play audio from your input device.
