Bose Soundbar 500 Review - RTINGS.com

Update 10/01/2020:We have changed the results of our 5.1 PCM (eARC only) test from 'Untested' to 'Undetermined'. While this bar has an HDMI ARC port and it supports eARC, it seems to reencode these formats into Dolby Digital. We can't determine if it supports PCM as it could be reencoded as Dolby Digital instead.

Fair audio format support via ARC. This soundbar supports eARC but unfortunately, it has to reencode these formats into Dolby Digital in order to play them. Unfortunately, this bar can't offer you a more immersive experience due to the lack of support for object-based surround sound formats, like Dolby Atmos.
