Enabling or disabling HDMI IN Direct Audio

The HDMI IN Direct Audio setting lets your system receive audio directly from the connected HDMI device. This is useful in setups with a TV that only outputs 2.0 audio over HDMI ARC. Instead of receiving 2.0 audio from the TV, you can receive 5.1 audio directly from the device (i.e. a cable box) before the device connects to your TV and is converted to 2.0.

To change the HDMI IN Direct Audio setting:

Note: If you haven't yet, link your soundbar to your Bose account. For more info, see Adding a SoundTouch system on your network to your account.
