Plug-and-play solution
Bluetooth connectivity
TV-volume “learning” capability
®
The Cinema SB 400 incorporates left
and right midrange and high-frequency
transducers, plus amplifiers and controls, into
a single soundbar. It easily connects to any
TV with the included cables. Easy to install,
the soundbar requires virtually no setup.
Just connect and play.
HDMI connectivity
With three HDMI inputs, the Cinema SB 400
provides convenient connection for multiple
HDMI source components. It also includes
one HDMI output with Audio Return Channel
(ARC), which sends the TV sound back to the
soundbar. This simplifies switching and makes
the system easier to use.
Powered, wireless subwoofer
Nothing draws you into the action like huge
bass. The subwoofer’s 200mm low-frequency
transducer and built-in 200-watt amplifier
deliver all of your entertainment’s impact,
emotion and excitement. And because it’s
wireless, there are no unsightly wires between
soundbar and subwoofer.
The Cinema SB 400 wirelessly streams music
from smartphones and tablets, delivering
room-filling, full-range sound reproduction
with exceptional bass. The On Screen Display
indicates Bluetooth connectivity status, along
with current source, volume and sound mode.
Exclusive HARMAN Display
Surround
Drawing from HARMAN expertise in movie
theater audio, the Cinema SB 400 lets you
add cinema sound without adding multiple
speakers. Employing proprietary HARMAN
Display Surround, it creates a virtual surroundsound experience for multiple listeners – not
just one – from a single soundbar.
Full bass control
The Cinema SB 400 increases your control over
the audio experience. It features a dedicated
control that lets you adjust volume, frequency
and subwoofer output phase, so you can
optimize the sound for each movie or TV show.
The Cinema SB 400 comes with a credit-cardsized remote, but you might not need to use it
much. That’s because the SB 400 can “learn”
the volume control IR code of your existing TV
remote control, so you can control the soundbar and TV volume with the same remote.
Dolby Digital decoding
The Cinema SB 400 decodes film soundtracks
in their native format, which eliminates conversion stages that reduce sound quality. This
helps the soundbar provide a superb surroundsound experience for multiple listeners.
Dual-position equalization
The Cinema SB 400 can either be placed
on a shelf or tabletop, or wall-mounted with
included hardware. A dual-position equalization
feature optimizes the soundbar’s performance
for either placement, so you can position it
where you choose without compromising
sound quality.
