The Hisense HS2100 Soundbar significantly elevates your home entertainment audio, making every experience more engaging.
With DTS Virtual:X, the soundbar processes audio to create a multi-dimensional sound field. This means dialogue sounds clearer and effects like explosions or rainfall appear to come from around you, not just directly in front. The wireless subwoofer works in tandem, providing a visceral rumble for action sequences and a rich foundation for cinematic soundtracks. For example, during a car chase, you'll not only hear the engines roar but feel the vibrations.
Connect your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth to stream your favorite playlists, turning your living room into an impromptu concert space. The 240W total power output ensures your music is clear and vibrant, while the subwoofer adds depth to bass lines. You can also plug in a USB drive with your music files for direct playback, offering a convenient way to enjoy your digital music collection.
The 6 equalizer presets are practical for tailoring the sound to your content. For news broadcasts, switch to a preset that emphasizes dialogue clarity. For a sporting event, choose one that highlights ambient crowd noise. This flexibility ensures you always get the best audio profile for what you're watching or listening to.
Its compact design allows the soundbar to sit neatly below most TVs without obstructing the screen. For Roku TV owners, the Roku TV Ready feature simplifies daily use, letting you power on, adjust volume, and switch inputs for the soundbar directly from your Roku remote, reducing remote clutter.
Unpack: Carefully remove the soundbar, wireless subwoofer, and accessories from the packaging.
Placement: Place the soundbar centrally below your TV. The wireless subwoofer can be placed anywhere in the room, preferably on the floor, avoiding direct corners for best bass distribution.
Connect to TV: Choose your preferred audio connection:
HDMI eARC (Recommended): Connect an HDMI cable from the soundbar's HDMI OUT (eARC/ARC) port to your TV's HDMI IN (eARC/ARC) port. This allows for high-quality audio and TV remote control.
Optical: Connect an optical cable from the soundbar's OPTICAL IN port to your TV's OPTICAL OUT port.
Aux: Connect a 3.5mm audio cable from the soundbar's AUX IN port to your TV's AUDIO OUT port.
Power On: Connect the power cords to the soundbar and wireless subwoofer, then plug them into wall outlets. The subwoofer should automatically pair with the soundbar. If not, follow the pairing instructions in the user manual.
Select Input: Turn on the soundbar and your TV. Use the soundbar's remote or buttons to select the input source corresponding to your TV connection (e.g., HDMI eARC, OPTICAL, AUX).
TVs: Compatible with any TV featuring HDMI eARC/ARC, Optical Digital, or 3.5mm Aux audio outputs.
Roku TV: Fully compatible with Roku TV for integrated control.
Audio Devices: Supports Bluetooth connectivity for wireless streaming from smartphones, tablets, and computers. USB port for playing audio files from flash drives.
Cleaning: Gently wipe the soundbar and subwoofer surfaces with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials.
Placement: Ensure proper ventilation around the soundbar. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, near heat sources, or in damp environments.
Subwoofer: Keep the subwoofer clear of obstructions to ensure optimal sound dispersion and prevent overheating. Its wireless nature allows for flexible placement, but avoid placing it directly against walls or in enclosed cabinets that might muffle the bass.
