DHT-S316 Soundbar and Wireless Subwoofer for Surround Sound, Bluetooth Sound Bar with Dolby Digital, DTS Decoding, Dialogue Enhancer, HDMI ARC, Wall Mountable, Music Streaming

I bought this soundbar to replace an old Sony amplifier feeding Dolby surround sound to five speakers. It is easy to set up and provides a neat alternative to speaker wires heading in all directions. With the built-in sub-woofers the soundbar gives a fuller sound range than the old set-up for which I never added a separate sub-woofer. The soundbar however gives a less obvious spread of sound to left and right. I had not researched the significance of Dolby Atmos and it seems that movies or music that provide this type of sound signal are not that freely available. As a result, I have only used it with 6.1 Dolby sound from DVDs. I do not have a Blue Ray player. Maybe in time Dolby Atmos will become more freely available on streamed services. Having said that, the sound output is good. The remote has settings for Movie, Music and Night. A major attraction for my wife and me is the Dialogue Enhancer. This can be set to Low, Medium or High. We certainly find that we are less often saying to each other, "What was that he said?" We are both 80-ish. Another plus is the facility for linking the soundbar with a TV using HDMI eARC/ARC. This makes the DVD/Soundbar/TV connection much easier. It also means that the TV remote will adjust the volume level on the Soundbar. There is also the option to connect to the soundbar via an Optical cable or via Bluetooth. There is a USB port but I think this is only usable for servicing, not for input. At an offer price of £160, this soundbar is good value and Denon has a good reputation.

Sounds great - our LG TV suffers from poor sound (as do most modern TVs) and this is so much better for the price. Plug and play - connected to TV via HDMI eARC. Automatically allowed Virgin Media remote and TV remote to control volume on the sound bar. Switches on/off when the TV is switched on. The Denon remote is a bit shoddy but I am using the TV remote for volume.

Hi there this sound bar for £130 is not bad for the price if you are setting this up put your HDMI cable in Arc connector before switching the the unit on if you don’t it will not recognise the connection is made . when set up the sound quality is good but the bass is sounds a bit hollow turn this down as too much boom boom gives you a headache after a bit and set your tv too Dolby stereo the remote is is very laggy nothing new for remote’s on cheap sound bars the sound bar comes with everything you need the treble is ok too switch too dialog you have low/ med / high I get the sense of this but it’s limited also the music/ movie / buttons are limited as well and changing between the two does not make mulch difference the volume is ok but a little low sometimes at top end ok if your 5 feet away very well packaged and looks very good and is quite long in length due too the built in sub woofers in all not bad I have enjoyed listening too the sound bar on different programs and it as clear at top end . build quality is very good you also get leds too tell you when it’s DTS or Dolby stereo format it’s well worth £130 because it replaces your tv speakers don’t forget it as Bluetooth as well I think folk expect too much sometimes if won’t something better try a £300 sound bar upwards remember this unit is built too a price I hope this helps ps don’t forget too set your tv up in the sound menu of your tv as well update month later the remote control is not good too laggy and dialogue could be a bit better but in all not bad at this price

I’ve spent weeks down the rabbit hole of soundbars and home audio, reading everything I could and even talking to people in places like Richer Sounds. It’s a complete minefield, especially if, like me, half the terminology feels like a foreign language. My home setup is a Hisense TV running a Virgin box, Fire Stick and PS5, and until recently I was using a budget soundbar that was just about passable. I made the mistake of “upgrading” to the Hisense AX3120G, assuming it would work seamlessly with my TV. It was a disaster. The sound was inconsistent, tinny for sports, the subwoofer easily overpowered everything, and switching between sources constantly caused quality issues. After returning it and going through far too much research again, I finally picked up this Denon soundbar and I’m genuinely blown away by how good it is. The sound is rich, detailed and far more powerful than a single unit has any right to be. Dialogue is crystal clear and action scenes have real depth without the rumbling chaos I was dealing with before. Setup couldn’t have been simpler. Plug it in, connect it via the eARC to hdmi1, ps5 into the soundbar, then virgin box and fire stick in hdmi 2 & 3 and you’re done. It all works perfectly, automatically switching between inputs seamlessly, it’s even turns its self on and off with the TV. The presets actually matter too. Movie Mode opens everything up beautifully without turning it muddy. Night Mode is outstanding, stripping out the heavy bass while keeping all the clarity, perfect for late-night TV when I don’t want to wake the house or annoy the neighbours. The dialogue enhancement is equally impressive, fixing the terrible audio mixes you often get from streaming apps. Overall I’m honestly shocked a soundbar at this price can perform like this. After weeks of trial and error, this is everything I hoped for and it’s brilliant!. Add all that, the fact you can buy additional speakers/subwoofer should you wish at a later time, which I’ll be doing once I move house. If you’re unsure what to get, I can’t recommend this highly enough. Just buy it!!

Simply outstanding, easy to set up for the unfamiliar like me. The improvement in sound and definition is dramatic. Speech much more clear. I'm disabled deaf and the result is worth every penny. Don't know why I hadn't one before. Subtitles almost superfluous. There may be cheaper brands but Denon gear is always excellent. It's like having a new hifi system for music. Currently on offer, go ahead and buy.

A perfect. Sound system for smaller area/room. Perfect combination of sound clarity and bass. Subwoofer connection automatically disconnected after 2 months of use.. Tried lot of methods suggested by trouble shooting videos but no result.

Il prodotto è arrivato prima del previsto con un ottimo imballaggio. Prodotto di qualità ad un prezzo non eccessivo: bassi profondi e enhancer dei dialoghi molto efficace.

Barre de son , Demon DHT S316 très bon rapport qualité prix , reçu dans les temps. J'aime le fait de pouvoir brancher ma télé en hdmi arc , ma vieille chaîne hiffi sony via l'entrée auxiliaire Jack ( du coup j'ai supprimé mes 2 bafs...barre de son meilleur son) et mon téléphone ou ma tablette en Bluetooth. Le son est très bon les basses bien présentes. Les petits défaut c'est le manque d'affichage sur la barre , seulement 4 diodes qui indique dans quel mode on se trouve , et quand on règle le volume ou les basse seulement une diode cliente pour indiquer quel à bien reçu le signal . Mais on si habitu et une fois la barre allumé et un premier réglage, tout se passe sur votre télé, téléphone ou chaîne hiffi.

2ème achat, très bon son, bonnes basses, assez puissant pour sonoriser home cinema ou soirée d'une pièce de 30m2.

Son super
