Fixing the Soundbar: Using the RCA Audio Cable
Use the RCA Stereo Audio Cable to connect the TV’s stereo
RCA(L/R) audio output socket.
Connect the audio output cable to the side of the soundbar via the ‘LINE IN’
input sockets of the unit (Ref.5).
Then press MODE on the remote control (Rem.18) or press the Mode button on the
unit (Ref.2) to scroll to the LINE function.
Turn on your television set to use the Majority Ben Nevis 2+.
Troubleshooting: If you are not receiving a picture or encountering interference, please ensure that the RCA cable is being connected to ‘output’ RCA ports on your TV set. This will ensure that the sound is being exported correctly.
If your TV does not have ‘output’ RCA ports, please use an alternative connection method.
Fixing your Soundbar: Using the ARC Input
You will need: An audio source with an ARC Audio Output and an ARC Audio cable
(not included)

settings are set to ARC or HDMI Audio and are turned
on. Audio from the connected audio source will now be played through the
speakers.
Using the MP3 LINK Connection (Line In)
Plug one end of a 3.5mm audio input cable (included) into the
Line In on the unit (Ref.5) . Before use, disconnect any cables connected to
the Stereo RCA Inputs.
Plug the other end of the cable into the audio output/ headphone output on an
MP3 player or another audio source.

Ensure all audio connections of the unit are connected before connecting to
the mains power socket.
Unplug the power cord from the outlet when the unit is used for an extended
period of time.
Connecting the Soundbar and Sub-woofer
The sub-woofer and soundbar will wirelessly connect to each other for a
surround sound experience. This allows you to place the sub-woofer within the

powered and switched ‘ON’ for the initial setup. To do this, press the Power
button (Ref.1) on the unit or the POWER button on the remote control (Rem.10).
