Rated 5 out of 5 by Moco from It's all about the sound! This is not my first sound bar, but it's the best sounding so far -- most bang for the buck! It's not rich in features, but it is rich in audio details. Denon did a good job with this. Feature: pretty bare, standard ARC port, optical in, aux in, and BT. Ease of setup: 5 star - really, it's very easy. Sonic quality: this is where it shines. I got this unit for a good price (lower than MSRP) and the sound is better, more detailed than other units twice the price. Low volume: it's nice and clear, good presence, and detailed. Then it stays that way at higher volume. The sub-woofer adds the low end without overpowering or muddying anything. Wish list: I really, really wished it had a WiFi connectivity so it can have Spotify connect (Denon, take a look at Audio Pro A10, which is not a sound bar but it has a complete basic feature -- though it doesn't pass muster in the audio department for me). I have Denon HEOS units throughout the house and I really wish this one does Spotify too (yes, there is BT and it's very good -- better than most BT speakers, but then I need my phone to control it, and all other unwanted sounds like games, notifications, etc, come through as well).

Questions

Is this sound bar recommended for people with hearing aids

Asked by: Quickie 49

Hello, The DHT-S316 is designed to offer sound quality which improves significantly over a typical flat panel TV's speakers. How well it performs when used by people with a hearing aid would depend on how well the specific hearing aid functions for the user.

After three months of using the DHT-316S subwoofer is unexpectably lose connection with soundbar. Soundbar works well, subwoofer is silent. Just happened without any reason. What can I do?

Asked by: Trojan

Hello Trojan, Sorry to hear your sub-woofer not operating. In this situation, it is a good idea to completely disconnect the DHT-S316 main unit and sub-woofer from it's power source for at least 15 minutes, then plug back in again. This is a soft reset and often works for this symptom. If the problem persists you can either contact your dealer or call our Product Support Team: https://support.denon.com/

Hello, Can I put subwoofer of DHT-S316 in a tight fit cabinet with no lid? 

Asked by: Goni

Hello, It is not an ideal location for a sub-woofer. They work a lot better when they are free-standing. It is recommended not to house a sub-woofer in such a tight setting. Subwoofers move a lot of air and therefore need air around them to function well.

Hi, on the DHT-S316 is it possible to disable the auto power off? It seems to be available for most of the other models, but I cant find it on the one I just purchased.

Asked by: MattV

Hi MattV, The DHT-S316, the auto power-off feature is not switchable. Auto power off is an energy-saving feature we are now required to include.
