This 3.1.3-channel soundbar with a center up-firing speaker delivers Dolby Atmos and DTS:X through its HDMI eARC output. The single HDMI input supports 4K 60Hz passthrough with Dolby Vision, VRR, and ALLM — but tops out at HDMI 2.0 bandwidth, so there is no 4K 120Hz passthrough for gaming consoles. An optical input provides legacy TV compatibility, and a USB port is available for firmware updates.
