I have a Bell 9500 receiver that connects my Satellite to my TV

I’m trying to add a bass bar, to improve my sound.

The bass bar is operational.

I’ve tried attaching the bass bar with an HDMI cable.

When I go into the Dolby Settings, it says Dolby only.

Is there a way to hook up this bass bar?

Good Day.

Can you provide us with further information in terms of the make & model of your tv & sound  / bass bar?

There is no direct connection per se to connect a bass sound bar to your 9500 receiver. To connect a sound bar to a 9500 Whole  Home PVR, you'll need to use  an HDMI cable with ARC (Audio Return Channel) if both your TV and receiver support it. If using HDMI-ARC, ensure it's enabled in both your TV and receiver settings.

Please refer to your tv settings & soundbar for specific connection & settings

Take care.
