An HDMI cable of “Standard HDMI” specification or higher can be used. Use an ARC-compatible HDMI cable if the HDMI input jack of the TV supports ARC.

Use an Ethernet-supporting HDMI cable.

Transmitting high-definition video signals to the TV from an AV device connected to the HDMI IN jack on the sound bar

Use an HDMI cable that supports the transmission of video signals output from the AV device.

  • For 3D and/or 4K video signals, use a Premium High Speed HDMI cable.
  • For HDR video signals, use an HDR-compatible HDMI cable.

If connecting to a TV using only the included digital optical audio cable

NOTE
  • ARC is an abbreviation for Audio Return Channel. By connecting the ARC-compatible HDMI input jack on the TV to the ARC-compatible HDMI output jack on the sound bar or an AV receiver via an HDMI cable, audio from the TV can be played on the sound bar or AV receiver without using an optical cable.
  • eARC is an abbreviation for Enhanced Audio Return Channel. It is an extension of the ARC functionality and is capable of transmitting high-definition audio signals such as Dolby Atmos via a TV, which ARC cannot transmit.
  • Use a 19-pin HDMI cable with the HDMI logo printed on it.
  • Use a cable that is as short as possible to prevent any degradation in signal quality.
