Exhaustive Frequently Asked Questions & Troubleshooting Manual
HDMI ARC & Dolby Audio FAQs
Q: How do I enable Dolby Audio on the Aavante Bar 1600d?
Connect via HDMI (ARC). Set TV audio output to Dolby Digital or PCM. When Dolby content plays, the soundbar decodes it automatically.
Q: No sound via HDMI ARC — troubleshooting?
1. Use the ARC-labeled HDMI port on your TV.
2. Set TV audio output to PCM.
3. Enable HDMI-CEC.
4. Power cycle both devices.
Q: What is the difference between PCM and Dolby Digital settings on TV?
PCM sends stereo audio; Dolby Digital sends 5.1 surround audio when available. For the Aavante Bar 1600d, either works since the soundbar decodes both.

Q: The 5.25″ subwoofer is rattling at high volumes — why?
Reduce the BASS level using the BASS- button. Avoid placing the subwoofer in corners or near walls which can amplify distortion at extreme volumes.
