CONNECTING THE SOUNDBAR
Look at the back of your source device, such as a TV, DVD/Blu-ray player, or
cable box, to identify your audio OUT ports. Choose one connection option
below that fits your audio source. You can connect several devices and switch
the sound source as needed.
Caution: Turn off or unplug all devices while you are making connections.
Note: If you mounted your soundbar on a wall, you must use the included
right-angle cable connectors for the AUX IN or RCA cable connections.
PICK ONE
Digital connections (BEST)
- Connect one end of the digital optical cable (not included) to your soundbar.
- Connect the other end into the Digital Optical Output port on your audio source device.
- Change the device’s audio output to ‘PCM’ format (typically found in Audio Settings). Refer to the documentation that came with your audio source device for more information.
OR
RCA connection (GOOD)
- Connect the right-angled connectors of the included RCA audio cable to your soundbar.
- Connect the other end of the RCA audio cable into the Audio Output ports on your audio source device.
Note: Make sure that the cable ends match the color of the ports.
OR
3.5 mm connection (GOOD)
- Connect the red and white connectors of the included 3.5 mm to RCA cable to your soundbar.
- Connect the other end of the 3.5 mm to RCA cable into the Audio Output port or headphone jack on your audio source device.
CONNECTING THE AC ADAPTER
Cautions:
- Make sure that the electrical outlet matches the AC adapter’s input requirements of 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz before connecting.
- Use only the AC adapter provided.
- Plug in the AC adapter only after all other connections have been made.
- Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN jack on the back of the soundbar.

Notes:
- Some devices, such as an iPhone, connect immediately after pairing, other devices, such as notebook computers, may ask you if you wish to connect. In this instance, the Bluetooth indicator continues to blink until a connection is established.
- When you turn on your soundbar, it automatically connects to the last connected device if that device is in range. To connect to a different paired device, turn off Bluetooth or unpair from the currently paired device and manually connect to the other paired device.
