About the Denon DHT-S316
The DHT-S316 is a low-profile, mid-size soundbar paired with a wireless subwoofer for theater-quality audio without a separate receiver. Denon Virtual Surround mode delivers a home-cinema surround simulation from Dolby Digital and DTS decoding on Blu-ray, DVD, and other surround-encoded sources. The wireless subwoofer pairs automatically on power-up, so there's no cable to run between the bar and the sub.
An HDMI input and output with Audio Return Channel handles a single-cable connection to a TV, supporting 4K Ultra HD pass-through with HDCP 2.2, Dolby Vision, and HDR10, and also enables control of the soundbar through a TV's own remote. For TVs without ARC, an optical digital input is included, and the DHT-S316 also accepts a coaxial or 3.5mm analog connection. Denon Dialog Enhancer offers three distinct levels of dialogue clarity, so movie and TV dialogue can be turned up without raising the overall volume.
Built-in Bluetooth streams music directly from a phone, tablet, or other compatible device. Unlike Denon's HEOS-equipped soundbars, the DHT-S316 has no Wi-Fi, app control, or online music service integration — it's a straightforward TV/Bluetooth soundbar rather than a whole-home streaming component.
