  • Do not mix new batteries with old ones.
  • Never recharge a batter y unless it is confirmed to be a rechargeable type.

Placement and Mounting Placement

  • You can place the unit on the table directly in front of the TV stand, centered with the TV screen. Or (B) you can mount the unit on the wall directly below the TV screen.
  • Place the Subwoofer at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from your Soundbar, and ten centimeters away from the wall.
  • Place the surround speakers in the left and right positions. For best results, place your Subwoofer & Surround as shown below.

Wall Mounting (for unit)
Note:

  • Installation must be carried out by qualified personnel only. Incorrect assembly can result in severe personal injury and property damage (if you intend to install this product yourself, you must check for installations such as electrical wiring and plumbing that may be buried inside the wall). It is the installer’s responsibility to verify that the wall will safely support the total load of the unit and wall brackets.
  • Additional tools (not included) are required for the installation.
  • Do not overtighten screws.
  • Keep this instruction manual for future reference.
  • Use an electronic stud finder to check the wall type before drilling and mounting.
  1. Drill 4 parallel holes (Ø 5.5-6 mm each according to wall type) in the wall. The distance between the holes should be
    950 mm.

  2. Firmly fix 1 dowel into each hole in the wall if necessary. Tighten the wall mount brackets on the wall with screws and screwdriver (not included). Make sure that they are securely installed.
    If necessary, stick the Silicone pad into the brackets to balance the machine.

Connections

Dolby Atmos®

Dolby Atmos gives you immersive listening experience by delivering sound in three dimensional space, and all the richness, clarity, and power of Dolby sound. For more information, please visit dolby.com/technologies/dolby-atmos
For using Dolby Atmos®
Dolby Atmos® is available only in HDMI mode. For the details of the connection, please refer to “HDMI Connection”.

  1. To use Dolby Atmos® in HDMI 1 and HDMI 2 mode, your TV has to support Dolby Atmos®.
  2. Make sure that “No Encoding“ is selected for bitstream in the audio output of the connected external device (e.g. Blu-ray DVD player, TV etc.).
  3. While entering Dolby Atmos / Dolby Digital / PCM format, the soundbar will shows DOLBY ATMOS / DOLBY AUDIO / PCM AUDIO.

Tips:

  • The full Dolby Atmos experience is only available when the Soundbar is connected to the source via a HDMI 2.0 cable.
  • The Soundbar will still function when connected via other methods (such as a Digital Optical cable) but these are unable to support all of the Dolby features. Given this, our recommendation is to connect via HDMI, in order to ensure full Dolby support.

DMI Connection
Some 4K HDR TVs require the HDMI input or picture settings to be set for HDR content reception. For further setup details on HDR display, please refer to the instruction manual of your TV. Using HDMI to connect the soundbar, AV equipment and TV:
Method 1: eARC / ARC (Audio Return Channel)
The eARC / ARC (Audio Return Channel) function allows you to send audio from your ARC- compliant TV to your sound bar through a single HDMI connection. To enjoy the ARC function, please ensure your TV is both HDMI-CEC and ARC compliant and set up accordingly. When correctly set up, you can use your TV remote control to adjust the volume output (VOL +/- and MUTE) of the sound bar.

  •  Connect the HDMI cable (included) from unit’s

HDMI OUT (TV eARC/eARC) socket to the HDMI (ARC) socket on your ARC compliant TV. Then press the remote control to select HDMI eARC.

Tips:

  • Your TV must support the HDMI-CEC and ARC function. HDMI-CEC and ARC must be set to On.
  • The setting method of HDMI-CEC and ARC may differ depending on the TV. For details about ARC function, please refer to the owner’s manual.
  • Only HDMI 1.4 or higher version cable can support the ARC function.
  • Your TV digital sound output S/PDIF mode setting must be PCM.

Standard HDMI

  •  If your TV is not HDMI ARC-compliant,
    connect your soundbar to the TV through a standard HDMI co nnection.
  1. Use an HDMI cable (included) to connect the soundbar’s HDMI OUT (TV eARC/eARC) socket to the TV’s HDMI IN socket.
  2.  Use an HDMI cable (not included) to connect the soundbar’s HDMI IN (1 or 2) socket to your external devices (e.g. games consoles, DVD players and blu-ray).

Use the OPTICAL Socket

  •  Remove the protective cap of the OPTICAL socket, then connect an OPTICAL cable (not included) to the TV’s OPTICAL OUT socket and the OPTICAL socket on the unit.

Use the COAXIAL Socket

  • You also can use the COAXIAL cable (not included) to connect the TV’s COAXIAL OUT socket and COAXIAL socket on the unit.

Tip : The unit may not be able to decode all digital audio formats from the input source. In this case, the unit will mute. This is NOT a defect. Ensure that the audio setting of the input source (e.g. TV, game console, DVD player, etc.) is set to PCM or Dolby Digital (Refer to the user manual of the input source device for its audio setting details) with HDMI / OPTICAl / COAXIAL input.

Use the AUX Socket

  • Use a 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio cable (included) to connect the TV’s or external audio device headphone socket to the AUX socket on the unit.
  •  Use a RCA to 3.5mm audio cable (not included) to connect the TV’s audio output sockets to the AUX socket on the unit.

Connect Surround Speakers

  1. Use the 2.5mm surround speaker cable (included) to connect to the SPEAKER speaker socket on the bottom of the (R / L) surround speakers.
  2. Use the DC adapter, connect to the DC IN socket on the bottom of the main surround speakers and to a power outlet.MONOPRICE SB-600 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos Soundbar fig 14
  3. When surround speakers are placed flat on a table, in order to prevent the vibration from falling, you need to put the power cord / speaker connection cable in the trough.

Connect Power
