Frequently Asked Questions

Dolby Atmos in the soundbar adds a sense of height and depth to your audio experience. With the integrated upward-firing speakers that bounce sound off the ceiling for projecting it vertically, the soundbar creates a realistic overhead audio effect. This makes it feel as if the sound is coming from all around you, not just from the front or sides. By combining forward-firing speakers, subwoofer, and upward-firing speakers, Aavante Prime 7.1.4 7050DA creates an immersive, 3D effect so you can hear crisp dialogue, dynamic effects, and rich bass from every direction as intended.

You can play supported content from OTT platforms (specifically displaying the Dolby Atmos logo) that offer selected movies and series mixed in Dolby Atmos, allowing you to enjoy immersive, multidimensional sound with the soundbar. To experience Dolby Atmos properly, ensure that your TV and connected devices (like TV streaming sticks or set-top boxes) have Dolby Atmos enabled in their audio or channel settings. You can also adjust additional audio settings on your TV to optimize sound quality.

Please note that YouTube and music streaming apps do not currently support Dolby Atmos audio, so playback from these platforms will be in standard stereo or surround sound rather than Dolby Atmos.

To experience Dolby Atmos audio with Aavante Prime X, make sure that you have the following requirements in place:

1. Compatible TV or Playback Device:

The TV, streaming stick, set-top box, or gaming console must support Dolby Atmos output via HDMI (e-ARC). HDMI (e-ARC) [Enhanced Audio Return Channel] allows your TV to send audio to the soundbar through a single HDMI cable without compression, thereby simplifying setup and supporting high-quality sound formats.

2. High-speed HDMI Cable:

Use an HDMI 2.1 (eARC) cable to connect the soundbar to your TV, as regular HDMI cables may not transmit the complete Dolby Atmos signal.

3. Correct Audio Settings:

If Dolby Atmos is not auto-activated in the audio eARC settings, please set the sound output mode to:

• Sound Output: or or
• Digital Audio Output: Automatic / Pass Through / Dolby Atmos
• Important: Do not set Digital Output to PCM

4. Soundbar Settings:

Also, ensure the soundbar connectivity mode is set to HDMI by pressing the Mode button on the soundbar control panel or on the remote.

Dolby Atmos will automatically activate when the compatible content is played. There is no need for manual activation once the soundbar is connected properly. If Dolby Atmos does not auto-activate, please recheck the HDMI cable type, connection port, and your TV audio settings.

1. Plug in one end of the power cord to the AC IN port on the soundbar & the other to the wall outlet. Short press the Power button on the soundbar control panel or on the remote control to switch on the soundbar.

2. Connect the wired subwoofer to Soundbar in the SW out port.

3. Wireless rear satellites need to be connected to power separately using the Adapter provided. Connect the Left Rear satellite to the port of the adapter and using the wire provided connect the left rear satellite to the right rear satellite.

1. After powering on the soundbar, press the Mode button again on the remote control or the soundbar to select HDMI (e-ARC) mode.

2. Using a high-speed HDMI (e-ARC) cable, connect the HDMI (e-ARC) connector on the soundbar to the HDMI (e-ARC) connector on your TV. The HDMI (e-ARC) connector on the TV might be labeled differently, so please refer to the TV user manual.

3. If you need to connect a set-top box, first connect the HDMI (e-ARC) connector and pair it to the soundbar. Then connect the set-top box.

4. When HDMI (e-ARC) is connected, the TV sound setting in "sound output" mode should be set as . In addition, digital audio output mode should be set as or .

If the rear satellite speakers are not connected to the Soundbar automatically, power on the satellite speakers. The blue LED indicator on the back of the satellite speaker will start flashing. Press and hold the PAIR button on the satellite speaker and the blue LED will blink rapidly which indicates entering pairing mode between the soundbar and the wireless satellite speaker. Long press the BT button on the remote for 5 seconds. The soundbar display shows “Pair” to indicate this. Wait for the soundbar and the rear satellite speakers to automatically pair. Once connected, the blinking blue LED indicator of the rear satellite speaker turns solid. The soundbar and rear satellite speakers are paired successfully.

Soundbar Position: Place the soundbar centrally below or above your TV, facing directly toward the listening area. Avoid blocking the TV’s sensors or placing it behind objects. Ensure that the forward-firing speakers are unobstructed by any objects or furniture. For best results, ensure there’s a flat, reflective ceiling approximately 8–10 feet high and that the soundbar is not placed inside a cabinet or under a shelf.

Subwoofer Placement: Position the subwoofer near the front of the room, close to a wall or corner, and keep it unobstructed for consistent bass output.

Wireless Rear Satellite Speakers: Place the rear satellite speakers slightly behind the main listening position and at ear height. Ideally, position them 2–3 meters to the left and right of the seating area for balanced surround effects. Please do not roof-mount the rear satellite speakers, as this can affect sound direction and imaging. Maintain an equal distance from the center listening position for uniform sound distribution.

The soundbar delivers Dolby Atmos-supported content in an immersive manner wherein the rear satellites primarily reproduce ambient sounds, background effects, and directional cues, while dialogues remain focused through the main forward-firing speakers. Additionally, the subwoofer handle low-frequency effects, enhancing the overall cinematic experience.

When connected via HDMI (e-ARC)/(ARC), the audio output from the soundbar, subwoofer, and rear satellite speakers depends on whether the source content is Dolby-supported or not.

Dolby-supported content activates surround audio with dynamic effects automatically, while non-Dolby content plays in a stereo-like configuration with dynamic Dolby effects disabled. When playing non-Dolby content, you can opt to enable 3D mode using the remote control.

Yes, Aavante Prime 7.1.4 7050DA supports wireless Bluetooth v5.3 connectivity for streaming music directly from your phone, tablet, or computer. After powering on, press the Mode (M) button on the soundbar or remote control to enable Bluetooth mode.

When connected via Bluetooth, the soundbar will operate in Stereo mode, regardless of the content type or your media device. So, whether you are playing music, movies, or any other media, the audio transmitted over Bluetooth will remain two-channel stereo.

When music is streamed via Bluetooth, the rear satellite speakers will play the standard stereo or multi-channel audio derived from the source with vocals. Please note that Dolby Atmos or Dolby Audio effects cannot be transmitted over Bluetooth, as these formats require HDMI (e-ARC)/(ARC) connections or optical inputs. So, immersive 3D sound can be experienced only when playing Dolby Atmos-enabled content through supported wired or OTT connections, and not via Bluetooth.

For an optimal surround sound experience in a standard room setup, we recommend the following settings as a starting point:

Bass (Subwoofer): Level 3Rear Satellite Speaker Volume: Rear satellite volume is in sync with the master volume and is balanced accordingly. Increasing and decreasing the Master volume will change the satellite volume accordingly

Note: The above values are suggested reference points and may vary based on your room’s acoustics, furniture placement, and personal listening preferences. You can fine-tune the bass, treble and master volume as per your liking or requirement.

Please make sure that the soundbar is powered on, the correct input source is selected, and the TV’s audio output is set to the right connection.
