What’s in the box
How to Setup
These are steps in the given below:
Connecting with a TV
Use an HDMI cable (not supplied) to connect an HDMI IN jack on your TV and the HDMI OUT (TV (ARC) jack on the Bar Speaker.
Note
- Make sure that the cable is firmly inserted.
- When your TV does not have an HDMI IN jack labeled “ ARC ,” you also need to connect the TV and the Bar Speaker via the optical digital cable (supplied) as
instructed in step 2. There will be no sound output from the TV if the TV and the Bar Speaker are connected only via the HDMI cable.
When there is no HDMI IN jack labeled “ ARC ” on your TV, use the optical digital cable (supplied) to connect an optical out jack on your TV and the TV IN (OPTICAL) jack on the Bar Speaker.
Note
- Check the shape of the optical digital cable’s connectors and the jacks on the TV and the Bar Speaker. Insert the connectors into the jacks in the right direction. If you forcibly insert the connectors in the wrong directions, the connectors and the jacks may be damaged.
Setting up the remote control
Turning on the TV
Turning on the Bar Speaker
